Blogging Tips: Four Steps to Successful Brand Sponsorships and Giveaways (Part 1) #learntoblog
Have you been following along in mine and Kelli’s (from 3 Boys and a Dog) Learn to Blog Google+ Hangout Series?
We have both been blogging for over five years each. Kelli was my first blogging mentor. She held my hand and helped me grow this blog from a small site that was seen by a handful of people a day (mostly family and friends) to a site that now receives 164,000 pageviews a month and counting.
Kelli also owns three blogs herself that are very successful and have grown leaps and bounds. We reached a point where our sites started growing off of each other and now we want to pay it forward and teach others how to blog too!
How to Blog
This past week we focused on the four steps of successfully partnering with sponsors. We were only able to cover two of the steps in the first hour because we covered so much information. This coming week we will cover the remaining two steps.
In this video we share with you:
- 13 sites that can help you find brands to partner with
- we walk you through the elements you need to cover for a successful sponsorship and giveaway post
- how to create a disclosure statement (there is a site for that)
- Kelli shares word for word her re-pitch
And your tasks this week are in the video.
You can watch the video on my YouTube channel (please subscribe so you never miss a new video) or you can watch it below.
Join us next week (4-16-13) at 10:00 am CST over on Google+ as we discuss the final two steps for success campaign/giveaway promotions.
Let me know if you need an invite so you can RSVP. You will need to be in either my circle or Kelli’s circle to get an invite, but we can totally make that happen for you!

Hi Crystal, I’d love an invite! I’ve been watching the videos you and Kelli have on Youtube but I haven’t been able to catch you live. I’ll be working but hopefully not so busy that I can’t watch. Thank You, Linda
Hi Linda-
I will need a link to your Goolge+ profile so I can follow you. Then you will also need to follow me. Then I can send you an invite.
Here is a link to my profile: https://plus.google.com/u/0/114514890143128596296/about.
Hi Crystal, I think the link to my Google+ page is:

I’m very new to Google+ and not quite sure how to get around there yet. Please forgive me. I “think” I am following you and Kelli there. Have a great day!
P.S. I’m a Mom of boys too! 4 boys and 1 girl but they are all grown now. My youngest is 21. I miss all the little ones running around the house! I never thought I’d say that but I really do!
Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned!!!!
