Tips for Blogger Outreach! Sage advice for getting paid to blog!
Think of the old legacy media as a dam that only allowed a very controlled stream of products through to consumers to buy! Now think of the build up of pressure from millions and millions of products working and working to get their message through and then add social media into the pull for ideas, knowledge and commerce and the free economy and think of all that pressure reaching a critical mass a moment of apocalypse (which actually means lifting the veil) and think of that dam bursting open and commerce freed to get in front of people all the innovation all the ideas all the variety of solutions the communities of entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, thinkers, traders and now picture an East India Trading Company ship filled with goods bursting through a massive wave in the Atlantic, filled with cargo to get back to port, back to market, like something from the spice trade!
Thats the world we are now living in. The dam burst about 5 / 6 years ago and the wave is spreading across all the services and suppliers everywhere and commerce is thriving for bloggers! Pick your sector, pick your specialism and get out there and speak to brands, get searching online and type in thisg like blogger outreach services , or paid blogging and a wealth, a wealth of opportunities will come up for you, type the same search into Facebook and you will find groups all over the world dedicated to pooling bloggers and brands and public relations experts together to trade! A free market of connections and a growing enthusiasm as brands meet people real time on social media, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, Youtube, you name it, its happening right now!
The top ambitious media talent is migrating to this sector, a place where you can pitch up your stall, or mark out a piece of real estate (a domain, a Facebook page, a shop front, a haberdashery of products), and curate a list or call it a blog, and serve a community of followers with ideas for new products, services, from nutrition, drinks, snacks, lifestyle, leisure, fashion, holidays, travel, cars, electronics, animals, you name it, and the lifestyle of online living, real world yes of course, getting outdoors, hiking but spending time online relaxing, learning, discovering knowledge, and being involved in the momentum of the time, and this wave of creativity that is sweeping across the web, a place where an order has emerged in a sense, or another way of thinking is that an actual process of engaging between brands and Bloggers and Vloggers has emerged. Human cooperation and communication, the collaborative impulse that made Ebay work without guarantees, because people can see its the future, its a better way of doing things!
The communities of brands and bloggers and public relations experts are out there, collaborating, communications, getting messages out there about really awesome products, spaces where people bring their professional knowledge and experience to bear to do public relations as someone said to us recently “the way it was always supposed to be!” that’s what this feels like, the way its supposed to be, collaboration and communication!
So search and you will find! that’s the space we are in !
Very Best wishes!
