Blogging+Freelance Opportunities w/c 22nd June
After taking a break last week, I’m back again this week! Things have been really busy but I really want to get the board back up today as I know a lot of you look out for it!
Before, I share, I’m actually speaking at a few events in the week ahead so just wanted to give them a mention (ad-I I get a share of ticket sales)
How to start your own publication with Journo Resources
How to get press coverage for your small business with The Enterprise Collective
About the blog 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.
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.
Please note, if you wish me to cover a product or service that a blogger is required to pay for (e.g. accountancy services or an e-course), I am not able to cover it in these listings but you can email hello@thebloglancer.co.uk
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!

Below is a useful thread from Bitch media about how they accept pitches
I have not created a pitching thread in a while (and I delete old tweets), so I would like to share one again, tailored toward what I look for as I accept pitches for Bitch.
