Blogging has a high turnover because it requires a lot of work. It is difficult to sustain for many people who aren’t blogging full time. Many new bloggers burn the candle at both the ends to get noticed.

Often, bloggers don’t think they are “big enough” yet and give up before trying to work with brands.

Afraid to put your blog out there? The idea of rejection might hurt so start small. Put together a rate sheet. This is something that you would have to prepare before you get started pitching. It can set you on the path to pitching sponsors.

Be unique

Blogs that have nothing interesting to offer to the brands can never make money. Eccentric is good. Having a niche is good. If you don’t have something that sets you apart from other similar bloggers, start thinking…

Use social media to engage potential sponsors

Are people interacting with your brand? Does your brand have a voice in your niche? If so, you can meet brands right on social media. Follow them and send a message asking if they want to collab. Don’t forget to include contact info and next steps.

Review brands you love

Put together a few trial blog posts so you can pitch your collaboration ideas to brands. Show them what a sponsored post would look like with similar brands in their niche.

The blog post can be a review with pictures in your style. You can even email the example post to the brand you write about – asking if they’d like another.

Create “about” page and add contact info

If it’s not easy to find your contact info, brands can’t work with you. Make sure you have “About” section on your blog. Once you become noticeable, the brands will approach you.

There are plenty of ways to get started working with brands.
