You've done the hard part by building a great blog and gaining followers but now you want to start earning. But all the advice seems to come from bloggers with a million followers who tell you just to wait for brands to approach you!
You know you'd like to work with brands and see bloggers do it all the time. But you've just got no idea how to find their contacts or what to put in your opening email.
You've got zero idea on what to charge and everyone you ask tells you a different figure! That's without the stress of how to ask for the money you deserve without feeling awkward.
Would you like to make a steady (or even side income) from your blog but feel like the only guides out there are focused on those with hundreds of thousands of views making hundreds of thousands a month?
Does it feel like most of the advice you read is from bloggers with a huge huge audience and none of their advice seems relatable?
You might have been told to wait for brands to come to you, but the truth is pitching directly is the best way to make contacts, get your blogs on PRs radars and make a living from your blog.
This toolkit is everything you need to start working with brands-whatever your traffic- covering everything from how to find contacts, how to pitch and negotiate pay.
I’m Jenna, a UK blogger and mum to one year old Jude. I started my blog way back in 2012 after being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. After a few years of blogging, with only a few thousand followers, I figured out how to make money from blogging and eventually was able to quit my job and blog full-time.
Now I run three blogs and am passionate about spreading the word about brand-blog relationships. I don’t get millions of views a month NOR do I earn millions of pounds a year, but I’m proof that with hard work, it’s possible to start earning from your blog-and that you don’t need a huge blog to do it! My blog, The Blogancer, is all about sharing with you tons of practical useful tips for blogging, freelancing and earning from your words.
