Blogger and Freelance Opportunities Board, w/c 1st June
Hello! How is it almost June? I’m just sneaking in under the wire on Sunday to get this up but given a new week starts tomorrow, I’ve just labelled it for the week ahead.
How has your week been going? I’ve been working hard on here to create some free blogging resources for you all.

About the blog/freelance opportunity board
This section of the blog simply acts as a useful message board where I share opportunities I’ve found online or ones that have been shared with me directly.
Unless stated otherwise, I’m not involved with any of the brands or publications mentioned here and I offer this space free of charge for them to share opportunities. Please do not reach out to me to discuss/any questions about the opportunities (just because I won’t know the answers!)but reach out to the brands directly.
If you are new here, make sure you check out the previous opportunity boards as lots of opportunities are ongoing.
A note for brands
At the moment, the idea is this to be for small businesses wanting to work with bloggers. I do not charge to post on here (although you can buy me a coffee)and you can email me on hello@thebloglancer.co.uk with info on your opportunity. Do read this post: 13 bloggers share their tips for brands reaching out before working with bloggers. Make it clear what you’re looking for and what you can offer.
A note for bloggers
The majority of the blogging opportunities on here will be unpaid and are from small businesses wanting to make connections (however, all the freelance writing callouts I share will be paid). This is not for everyone but as mentioned in my 10 things to do when your blogging work has dried up due to COVID-19 Post, I think now is a really good time to do so!
