\"How<\/p>\n

Eve Martel shared how to present a project to a brand. But as everything else, you need\u00a0to prepare:<\/span><\/p>\n

– What are your goals?<\/span><\/p>\n

– What do you want to do?<\/span><\/p>\n

– Is it for a sponsored post, a product placement, tweets, etc?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then you’ll need a media kit that contains your most important information:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Who are you? (Be careful, you are not writing an autobiography)<\/span><\/p>\n

– What is your editorial line?<\/span><\/p>\n

– The number of unique visitors on your blog<\/span><\/p>\n

– Your social media platforms and subscribers<\/span><\/p>\n

– Etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, you need to find the right person to contact in order to send the media kit. For this, there is Linkedin, your social media or Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then do some research on the brand. Your goal is not to contact every brands of the world but to really target the brand that you like with a specific\u00a0project in mind: it could be the organization of a giveaway\u00a0to celebrate the birthday of your blog. You can, for example, contact a brand you’ve already talked about on your blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eve then gave practical advices on writing the email itself. It must, for example, list the benefits that you can bring for the brand and do not forget the media kit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you’re collaborating with the brand, you need to be organized. You must respect the different timelines, then verify that all the requirements are in the article before its publication and be transparent by indicating if the article is sponsored!<\/span><\/p>\n
