Now, let’s talk business for a moment (and the Work with me page).
Here’s how blogging becomes a profitable hobby: once you gather a solid following base (a few thousand readers and followers on social media), and you are deep in the “influencers and bloggers” circle, brand deals will start pouring. Different brands are going to reach out and offer your brand trips, VIP access to their events, and ask whether you would like to do product reviews and get paid for sponsored content. But, before you start getting paid for the content you create, you need to everything to ensure that the brands can contact you quickly.
If you want to partner with those brands, you need to make sure that they see that you are interested in partnering with them and that they can contact you at any time. This is why you should add a Work with Me/Let’s Partner up page on the blog. This is a simple trick that makes a big difference.
When it comes to the content of the Work with me page, you don’t have to spend much time creating it. All you need to do is write a short text that explains that you have a large following base and that you know how to bring a brand’s product to the target audience. As a call to action, you can include a contact form or just share your business email address. As simple as that. If you want, you can include a “media kit”, a responsive online press page in which you mention a description of your blog, contact information, social media statistics, information on partnerships and collaborations, and testimonials from the brands you have partnered.
