With cult skincare products like their luxury hand cream bars and rejuvenating anti-ageing serums, it’s no wonder they’ve received over 4,500 rave reviews from their customers.

The team at The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company are spreading the word about their products’ natural goodness. By partnering with bloggers, they’re driving more traffic to their website, expanding their mailing list, and boosting sales. It’s all about sharing the love and letting more people in on the secret to truly natural skincare. Here’s how they’re doing it…

The approach

To maximise the impact, The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company team crafted a thoughtful strategy, keen on stretching their budget while appreciating the time bloggers invest in thoughtfully showcasing products. They created mutually beneficial collaborations by offering their skincare products as partial compensation, ensuring bloggers could authentically engage with and promote their offerings.

Choosing strategic placements, like securing features in popular Gift Guides, allowed them to shine on high-authority sites while being budget-friendly.

Strategy

Choosing bloggers wasn’t just about numbers; it was about finding partners whose content naturally vibed with ENSC’s core values – sustainability, skincare, self-care, and lifestyle. With the help of the Get Blogged platform, they sought out bloggers with a steady stream of traffic and solid domain metrics, ensuring the collaboration would reach the right audience.

To make sure their products fit like a glove, ENSC matched them to specific blog themes. For instance, their gardener’s solid hand cream bar was a hit on homes and gardens blogs, while the natural baby balm found its cosy spot on parenting blogs. This tailored approach not only respected the blogger’s expertise but also ensured that the brand’s message resonated perfectly with its audience.

Execution

With Get Blogged at their side, The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company kicked off a seamless process, hiring 10 bloggers each week. This steady rhythm meant products were dispatched in weekly batches, ensuring a smooth flow of collaboration.

The Get Blogged platform kept a keen eye on bloggers’ communication and negotiations. Any necessary deadline extensions were handled with ease, ensuring everyone was on the same page. Despite the usual challenges of coordinating multiple collaborations, the process was efficient and well-organised with lots of great feedback flowing nicely.

Early results

The content about The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company and their products has sparked a fantastic buzz, attracting new eyes and hearts to their brand. The excitement and positive feedback from these campaigns are palpable. The brand has tapped into diverse audiences, reaching skincare enthusiasts who are already singing praises about the natural goodness they offer.

The excitement surrounding their products is building a robust foundation for future success, giving ENSC a vibrant platform to continue sharing their passion for eco-friendly, handmade skincare.

Praise for ENSC

In the Reviews section of ENSC’s Get Blogged profile, the genuine voices of bloggers shine through, reflecting their positive experiences with The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company. These collaborations have not only highlighted the brand’s exceptional products but also the warm and accommodating nature of the team.

One blogger shared, “Tommy is an absolute pleasure to work with! He’s super approachable, and accommodating and the Edinburgh Skincare products are lovely too. 10/10. Thank you ” This sentiment is echoed by another, who remarked, “Brilliant campaign, great instructions and fantastic to work with.“

The products themselves have also won hearts. One blogger described one of the products as “my favourite autumn companion,” while another praised the Ultra Rich Anti-Aging Face Cream, noting, “What really impressed me was how long the hydration lasted. My skin stayed soft and moisturized almost all day.”

Lastly, about the versatility and quality of the skincare range, “This is my holy grail for no make-up days.” These testimonials collectively illustrate not just the success of the campaign, but the genuine appreciation and enthusiasm for the ENSC products and team.

Long-term collaborations

Sticking around for the long term means bloggers really get to know the brand and the products. This makes working together a breeze and leads to genuine, engaging content. Over time, these bloggers naturally become advocates for a brand, sharing their love for the products in a way that truly connects with their readers. It’s about building trust and creating a community that believes in what a brand does.

Final takeaways

The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company’s recent campaign highlights the power of working closely with bloggers. By building meaningful, long-term collaborations, they not only sparked excitement and connected with new audiences but also set the stage for future success.

These partnerships are more than just promotional – they’re fostering genuine advocates, leading to authentic, engaging content that truly resonates.

Looking ahead, these strong relationships promise even greater opportunities, paving the way for the brand to shine even brighter in the market. The future is promising as they continue to strengthen these valuable connections.

One clever way to increase your blogger income during the holidays is by featuring products in carefully curated gift guides. Think of them like the online alternative of the Argos catalogue at Christmas; online gift guides help buyers easily find the perfect gifts for their loved ones.

But as a blogger, how do you take advantage of the holiday bumps in spending? How do you get your gift edits in front of your perfect audience?

Online holiday gifting is starting early this year. Don’t miss the boat.

In 2020, over 45% of people said they would be looking for gift guides to inform their purchases during the Christmas holiday season. I’m sure we’re not going to forget that in Christmas 2020 in the UK we were all forced to stay inside; unable to hit the high street or give gifts in person.

But the trend of using online shopping over hitting the busy high street has continued in 2024. Thanks to advancements in user experience, delivery and customer service, online gift shopping is still a growing and trusted method for gift giving throughout the year, not just at Christmas.

The reality of supply chain issues, staff shortages, and the cost of living crisis in the UK is forcing people to start Christmas shopping earlier than ever due to having to spread the cost. So, it’s never been more important to get your holiday gift guides sorted early so you can influence your audience’s purchasing decisions.

Your guide to blogger gift guides to increase your holiday income

In this article, we’ll highlight the benefits of publishing gift guides, plus step through the most important and necessary steps to create your strategy whilst adding a sprinkling of inspiration and creativity along the way.

So let’s get started. Here’s what we’ll cover in this article:

What is a blogger gift guide?

A blogger gift guide is a specially curated list of products that a blogger recommends buying online. A gift guide is usually centred around a certain type of person, an event or awareness day, a season, or a common interest.

Blogger gift guides are especially popular pieces of content to create around the commercial holiday seasons such as Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What are some examples of gift guide themes?

Here are 20 examples of gift guide themes to spark some inspiration (or to steal – feel free):

1. 15 thoughtful gifts for primary school teachers under £10
2. 20 eco-friendly gifts for bridesmaids
3. 25 birthday gifts for inquisitive 5-year-olds
4. 30 books for science-loving teens
5. 35 advent calendars for children under 10
6. 40 digital gifts for overseas family and friends
7. 10 sustainable Christmas jumpers for Christmas jumper day
8. 15 personalised notebooks for teachers for the autumn term
9. 20 best subscription boxes for kids who love exploring
10. 25 sporty gifts for football-mad kids
11. 30 vegan serums for over 40s
12. 35 Christmas gifts for dads
13. 40 Thanksgiving keepsakes to thank hosts
14. 10 rucksacks for preschoolers
15. 15 advent calendars for families
16. 20 gifts for gardeners
17. 25 digital gifts for gamers
18. 30 eco-friendly toys for 2-year-olds
19. 35 best bargains from Small Business Saturday
20. 40 Black Friday deals to grab for Christmas

Top tip: GO NICHE!

In our experience, the more niche the gift guide, the better chance you’ve got of being seen by your perfect audience. A broader gift guide like ‘30 Christmas gifts’ would be a better idea for more established blogs that reach a high level of regular and returning traffic.

To illustrate that a little bit further, if you’re looking to promote an edit of children’s books about the planet this year, work those products into gift guides such as:

• 10 Christmas stocking fillers for space-mad children
• 24 affordable gift ideas for science-loving children this advent
• 5 children’s books about planet Earth to give this Christmas
• 15 books to give 10-year-olds for Christmas

Say you’re a jewellery fanatic and you’re looking to feature your favourite products in a wide range of gift guides to bring income and inspiration all year round. Working on gift guide themes like these 4 examples below might help you on your mission:

• 10 statement necklaces for spring brides
• 15 affordable friendship rings to gift your best friend
• 20 keepsake jewellery gifts for Grandparent’s Day
• 25 silver earrings ideas for mums this Mother’s Day

When do bloggers publish gift guides?

There are so many opportunities throughout the year to get featured in gift guides. By no means is this an exhaustive list but here are 14 popular ones:

1. Valentine’s Day
2. Mother’s Day
3. Father’s Day
4. Grandparent’s Day
5. End of the school year (thank you to teachers and caregivers)
6. Back to school
7. Halloween
8. Thanksgiving
9. Black Friday
10. Small Business Saturday
11. Cyber Monday
12. Advent
13. Christmas
14. New Year’s Eve

Lots of bloggers also build gift guide campaigns around awareness days such as:

1. World Mental Health Day
2. International Women’s Day
3. Earth Day
4. World Friendship Day
5. Playday
6. Organic September
7. ….And even National Cheesecake Day!

Publishing your collection of gift guides with plenty of time to take advantage of the elevated search traffic around that time is a great strategy to reach your target audience at the exact time they have the cash to spend and the intent to purchase.

How long should I feature a product in a gift guide?

Typically, products will feature in a gift guide until the next instance of the event or season. For instance, if you feature products in a gift guide for Thanksgiving, it’s likely they’ll be in it until next Thanksgiving when you update the gift guide by removing out-of-date content.

That’s not to say that you can’t feature products in a gift guide indefinitely. As long as the product is readily available over the years then it’s fine to feature the product for as long as you see fit.

Another strategy to take advantage of longevity is to ask the brand/retailer for a trackable link that earns you a commission for sales you introduce through your gift guide.

What are the benefits of publishing gift guides?

1. Commission
2. Revenue
3. Freebies
4. Organic traffic

Publishing gift guides can be a seriously good investment of time. Bloggers will typically bring in commission, revenue and freebies for featuring products in their gift guides, so it’s in your best interest to promote your gift guides to your loyal audiences who already trust your recommendations.

How to write a gift guide – what content should I include?

Firstly, take your time on the content of your gift guide. Producing gift guides can be ever so slightly repetitive, so clear time in your diary and get your head down! You’ll reap the rewards later.

Say you’re featuring your 10 favourite advent calendars for families; start by explaining why you’re publishing the gift guide with a punchy intro, then take your readers through the reasons why you included each product.

If you’re new to producing sales content, don’t stress about it, be authentic. My offbeat tip for you – catch a show on QVC and grab some tips on how they sell products to their audience.

Include the best, most crisp and attractive images of each product and include a clear call to action.

How do I promote my seasonal gift guides?

Spoiler! Unless your blog is very successful, just pressing publish on your content isn’t going to earn you much income. Here are some ideas for promoting your gift guides:

1. Use e.v.e.r.y free platform you can find to promote your gift guide
2. Take advantage of social networks
3. Share in friends and family WhatsApp groups
4. Add banners to your content in your blog sidebar
5. Drop your links in Facebook groups
6. Get other bloggers to share your guides, and do the same for them

How do I earn income from my gift guides?

Well, I’m glad you asked! There are various ways to strike up brand partnerships, but here are three tried and tested methods:

Method 1: Find brand partners using manual brand outreach

A rather l.a.b.o.r.i.o.u.s way to find brands to strike up gift guide agreements with is to search the internet for brands and retailers who match your ethos and contact them with your idea to collaborate. You’ll then spend time negotiating costs and terms, and agree on a mutually beneficial partnership. Be prepared to set aside several weeks for this process to run its course, and make sure you have the time to execute the strategy to its fullest so that you can reward your hard work with increased income and partnerships.

Method 2: Find brand partners – WITHOUT the outreach

Did you read method 1 and then cry “there must be an easier way to find brands to feature in my gift guides?” Use Get Blogged to save time on method one and be enjoying a pumpkin spiced latte by the fire toasting your elevated holiday income quicker than you can mutter ho ho ho.

On Get Blogged, we now feature brand gift guide campaigns where bloggers can pitch for fantastic opportunities to monetise their gift guides. We bring the opportunities to you so you don’t have to find them!

Earn more income from your gift guides now.

Method 3: Become an affiliate

If it’s instant cash you want, affiliate partnerships are probably not going to be your bag. But picture this; what if you could earn passive income year after year without having to do a lot? Sounds interesting, right?

To earn income from your content throughout the year, being an affiliate is a great strategy. Strike up affiliate partnerships with brands like Etsy, Not On The High Street, and loads of others, and promote their products in your gift guides to earn you a commission.

Now you’re ready to publish your gift guides

We’ve covered pretty much everything there is to know about producing gift guides to earn holiday income. Gift guides are a great way to showcase your favourite products and recommendations to your audience all year round, so get started now to take advantage of the opportunity!

Turning blogging connections into a passive income stream with Get Blogged’s affiliate programme

Get Blogged is a marketplace platform where brands come to find bloggers and influencers to help promote their products and services. Whilst Get Blogged already has a steady stream of brands and campaigns, we operate an affiliate programme to help grow the number of brands and opportunities on our marketplace.

So, with that said, every blogger who joins Get Blogged is issued with a referral link and the opportunity to get paid commission whilst helping us grow our brand community.

Forget those affiliate schemes that only pay out once, or where the commission rate drops after the first sale. The Get Blogged scheme aims to provide affiliates with an income for the life of the brand.

So, in practical terms that means that there are various commission triggers over the brand lifecycle explained below:

Get Blogged Affiliate Plans

How does the Get Blogged affiliate scheme work?

Everyone starts on Plan 5, which would work as follows:

1. You refer a brand that signs up to Get Blogged for free and then verifies their email address (that’s your first £5 earned.)
2. The referred brand creates a campaign for free, then Get Blogged approves it and it gets advertised in the Get Blogged Marketplace (that’s another £5 earned.)
3. The referred brand hires a blogger and you earn 5% of the amount the brand paid the blogger. (For example, if the brand paid the blogger £100, you earn £5.)

But the opportunity to earn doesn’t end there. Brands hire an average of 2 bloggers per campaign, so in the example above, you would have earned £20 from that one brand referral.

The real magic happens when the brand comes back to run more campaigns and collaborate with more bloggers over a longer period of time.

We have an incredible retention rate for brands; they use Get Blogged for an average of 6 – 9 months of the first year they sign up. Also, brands typically increase their budgets month after month once they realise how incredible blogger marketing is.

How this blogger earned over £1.2k from one brand referral

In September 2021, our savvy affiliate decided to leverage their existing brand partnerships and referred a brand to Get Blogged. This simple action led to a fantastic outcome that keeps giving – £1270 in commissions and counting!

But let’s break down exactly how this happened.

As you’ve discovered above, Get Blogged operates an outstandingly generous commission plan. The moment the affiliate’s referred brand created an account, they started earning money. But the earning potential didn’t stop there. Each time the brand launched a campaign or collaborated with bloggers, our affiliate continued to earn a commission.

This brand was no one-hit-wonder. So far they have run an impressive 43 campaigns on Get Blogged, collaborating with 138 bloggers. This ongoing activity set up a continuous flow of commissions to our affiliate’s pocket month after month.

The key takeaway here is that with Get Blogged’s affiliate programme, you’re not just making a quick buck. You’re building a long-term income stream. It’s like planting a seed and watching it grow into a money tree!

Here’s a breakdown of how the affiliate commission was earnt during 2022 and 2023:

Because I love a table, this is a breakdown of how the commission events contributed to the overall earnings for this one affiliate who is on Plan 5:

Build a passive income stream with the Get Blogged affiliate programme

Already have a relationship with brands? Perfect! Using the referral code in your Get Blogged dashboard, point them to Get Blogged where they can find more talented bloggers like you. It’s a win-win situation – the brand finds quality content creators, and you get rewarded each time they collaborate.

This case study is a shining example of the passive income opportunities available as a Get Blogged affiliate. It’s straightforward, jargon-free, and accessible to any blogger with a desire to make their hard work pay off in more ways than one.

What’s coming to Facebook in 2024?

It’s no real secret to creators that Facebook has been flagging behind its competitors for some time now. But, we predict that 2024 will be the year for a Facebook resurgence – if they consider the importance of video content.

AI tools

We predict that Facebook users will see more integration of AI tools including AI recommendations in-feed and across the app.

Video Content Domination

We think that users will see more Reels and short-form video-style content inserted into feeds to boost engagement.

For marketers and creators, this means creating more engaging, entertaining and valuable video content. Be ready to repurpose and re-share your video content from other platforms on Facebook to ensure your content is shown to a wider audience – including non-followers.

Facebook predictions at a glance

• Video content will dominate feeds
• More AI integration within feeds
• AI recommendations to boost engagement

What’s going to change on Instagram in 2024?

Instagram continues to be a platform that allows creators like you to monetise your content and connect with your wider audience. As creators, we are still at the mercy of platform changes, however, we foresee Instagram changing and evolving in some positive ways next year.

Glossy is out, raw & real is in!

We’re already seeing it to an extent, but instead of seeing glossy and highly filtered images, we predict a move to more real, raw-style images and videos by both brands and creators. 

This will go hand in hand with more photo-dump-style content that is less edited. So, keep your photo dumps coming and keep it creative and engaging with reels, stickers and audio rather than with filters.

Talking of reels…

Despite some social media predictions saying that static is back, we believe that video content will continue to dominate feeds with the algorithm continuing to favour video content over static or carousel posts. 

Use this as your cue to continue to create entertaining and valuable video content for your audience as these are more likely to be shown to wider audiences. The key to your reels in 2024 is to add intrigue with hooks, and value-added content whilst accessing trending audio and templates where you can.

Our tip, in 2024 don’t feel like you have to jump on every single trend and exhaust yourself. Stick with what works and you’re golden.

More generative AI creation tools

You’ll have already seen an influx of AI-style tools on Instagram – mainly the stickers in your stories and reels which, so far, are being used to help encourage engagement.

In 2024, there should be even more of a focus on generative AI content creation tools including in-stream video editing tools that will let you update your images and videos with generated elements like backgrounds.

Our advice is for you to continue using stickers, polls, and interactive elements in your content to ensure you are showing the algorithm you value engagement. 

Instagram predictions at a glance

• Raw images and “shot on iPhone” style content will be favoured
• Reels, reels & more reels!
• Generative AI tools will help your engagement & algorithm signals

What’s Threads got for creators in 2024?

Threads has been a welcome surprise for content creators in 2023. Creators are happily joining in their droves and stepping away from competitor platforms. Rather than dying a death like some social media analysts have mentioned, we think that Threads will continue to grow and become another place for you to earn from your audience in 2024.

X or Threads?

Our prediction for Threads 2024 is that, on the whole, more creators will favour Threads over X. While Threads is still in the minor leagues, it is certainly showing signs of growth. 

Things like social issues are helping the platform grow rapidly as people are using it to voice their opinions freely and with less fear – and away from X with its stricter moderation and verifications.

New features for Threads

We know that creators have had gripes with Threads and the lack of features to enhance and automate your content. However, there are whispers of new features being released in early 2024 that include hashtags, image alt tags and DMs. 

While this isn’t a huge step, it is certainly a step in the right direction, and this is only the start…

Competitors, ready?

For 2024, team Meta will set their sights on making Threads a solid competitor to X. Meta HQ seems to be looking back and looking ahead to see what worked, what no longer works, and how to create a social platform for the masses.

Threads predictions at a glance

• More creators will leave Twitter/X in favour of Threads 
• New features will be launched like hashtags, alt tags and DMs
• Threads will become a solid competitor for Twitter/X and surpass their functionality

X/Twitter platform predictions for 2024

For creators, it’s been a funny old year with X. There has been uncertainty and confusion, trials and tribulations. Lots of us are still plugging away over there but there is no denying that engagement and conversations are low. Users are losing faith, it’s evident, with big brands closing their X apps for good.

More paid features

Our predictions for 2024 and X are more subscriptions & more opportunities for users to pay for the once-free service. We predict that this won’t go down well with everyone and will harm the app experience. But it may just be what some users need to smash it – time will tell.

The new “everything” app

Elon Musk has spoken repeatedly about making X the “everything app” so we expect updates on things like shopping, selling, and banking in the app. However, with platform cuts and limited resources, we think that this will be slow during 2024.

Newsfeeds will see a resurgence

We also think that X will rebrand itself into more of a news outlet. 2023 has shown that X no longer has the lead on social aspects, especially for creators, so we expect it to lean into news and real-time events. To ensure that the news is accessible to all, we think that X will rejig its feed to include more of a “for you page”.

X predictions at a glance

• More subscriptions and things to pay for
• X to become the “everything app” – a hub for shopping, selling & banking
• Rebrand as a news outlet rather than a social app

Our predictions for Pinterest

Pinterest has always been the key product discovery and shopping destination for many millions of users. For consumers, the augmented reality element of Pinterest has transformed the platform. Here are our key predictions for Pinterest in 2024:

Revolutionising in-app shopping

The augmented reality and VR features of Pinterest are impressive and allow Pinterest to have its own USP against the other giant platforms.

In 2024 we predict that Pinterest will increase the use of their augmented reality features along with some AI to help increase sales for brands and companies. Pinterest is going to pitch itself as the place to shop throughout next year – competing with simpler platforms’ shops and stores. 

More pop-up stores

Pinterest launched its first pop-up store in New York City, providing a shoppable curation of its 2024 trends predictions. This new venture indicates Pinterest’s move towards experiential retailing, offering users an immersive shopping experience. We see this blowing up in 2024.

Visual and Video-Based Searches

Visual and video-based searches are becoming increasingly prevalent on Pinterest, indicating a shift in how users interact with the platform. Businesses can leverage this trend by creating visually appealing and video-based content to capture user attention and engagement.

New Features & Insights

Pinterest has announced several features and insights that could potentially make it a major player in 2024. While specific details about these features have not been disclosed, they will likely enhance user interface and experience, and provide businesses with more robust tools for reaching their target audiences.

Pinterest Predictions At A Glance

• More AR & VR for consumers
• Pinterest to become the shopping app for 2024
• More in-person experiences
• Video-based searches

What’s going to change on LinkedIn in 2024?

In 2024 we predict that we’ll see a focus shift of its AI usage towards enhancing the in-app experience and improving content matching and discovery in the app.

More AI to boost engagement

LinkedIn users will already know that generative AI is heavily featured in the app – including profile summaries, feed post prompts, job descriptions, collaborative articles, and more. 

In 2024 we predict that LinkedIn will continue to shift its focus towards more AI usage to enhance the in-app experience while improving the algorithm and content shown. This should help to increase engagement, growth, and success.

Virtual Events & Streams

Regarding virtual events and video streams, we believe LinkedIn will lean into this more in 2024. Videos will continue to be very powerful on LinkedIn so it’s key that as creators, we are sharing valuable video content across LinkedIn!

LinkedIn Predictions At A Glance

• More generative AI
• Improvement of content matching
• Video content will increase growth, engagement & success
• More virtual events & streams

How we think TikTok will change in 2024

Shopping & commerce with “Nearby” features

Two words for you to remember for TikTok in 2024: TikTok Shop!

TikTok will be pushing users to shop in the app more than ever. TikTok has already successfully branched into new commerce areas, including food delivery. But the one that TikTok will push the most, in our opinion, is local services. This will boost local and “near you” style commerce. These will be assisted by a local content feed that will highlight videos from local users to businesses.

You may already be seeing a “nearby” content feed on your app if it is up to date. If not – watch this space for that one!

AI generative tools for content creation and engagement

While generative AI is not a new thing on TikTok, there are a few things to be aware of in 2024.

Right now in your app, you’ll be able to use features like text-to-video translation tools and AI profile images. But in 2024, there will be a much bigger push towards using AI. We believe that this will include more text-to-video tools that will allow users to post wholly AI-generated videos – we can’t wait to start seeing that trend and what creators do with it!

We also predict that there will be an expansion of its AI chatbot which is currently being tested in selected markets.

Chatbots for in-app engagement

Chatbots have not had a revolutionary effect on social media apps, thus far. But they can serve a functional purpose and ensure that users are kept watching, engaging, and swiping. 

A chatbot linked to TikTok trends can help facilitate user experience and boost things like product discovery. We predict that this will be rolled out during 2024.

TikTok Predictions At A Glance

• “Nearby” shopping features to boost local businesses
• More AI generative tools
• More chances to boost engagement
• Introduction & testing of chatbots

How to be successful on socials in 2024

If you *do nothing* else in 2024 on your social media platforms, do this: video, video, video.

Luckily, it’s not a new concept and plenty of creators have already successfully pivoted their content to be more video-focused. 

Video content will be pushed and prioritised across all social media platforms in 2024 and integrated in new ways across platforms like LinkedIn. It’s key that you evolve your video content to offer value, have clear calls to action, and give your audience what they want. 

We also believe that it is important to repurpose video content, hooks and captions to match each social media platform.

Now you’re ready for a social 2024

As we conclude our exploration of the 2024 social media landscape, it’s clear that the future holds infinite possibilities for creators.

Google Analytics is a free web analytics tool offered by Google that tracks and reports a complete view of website interaction, including website traffic, user experience, user behaviour, device functionality, online content and audience demographics among other useful information. 

It is a service that helps website owners to better track and understand the users of their website through data collected by a tracking code placed on each page of the website. The tracking code records a range of activities performed by the site’s visitors, along with the demographics of those users. It then sends all that information to the Google Analytics server. 

Google’s unique insights and machine learning capabilities can help get the most out of the data with features like analytics intelligence, detailed reporting and so much more. 

It’s simple to get started with Google Analytics and start collecting basic data – see this step by step guide from Google to get it set up. If you’re using WordPress, check out our guide to the Google Site Kit Plugin. This super-simple plugin will get you set up with Google Analytics in no time at all.

Why should bloggers use Google Analytics?

The success of a blog is determined by a number of metrics, from Domain Authority from Moz.com to Trust Flow and Citation Flow from Majestic etc. All of these metrics have been designed by companies using their best guess as to a website’s performance based on the third party data available to them. 

Unlike these, Google Analytics draws its data from a tracking code on the website itself, allowing it to report data from actual real interactions on the site. This means that as a blogger you have solid information at your fingertips that shows how your blog is performing and you can quickly identify areas for improvement for future success. 

By tracking Google Analytics metrics, you can measure your blog’s position in the present, its growth over time, and plan strategies for bigger success in the future. 

Analytics also provides you with real data, such as traffic numbers, that you can share with brands and PR agencies looking to form partnerships with bloggers. They will not have access to real data, only the best guess data provided by those third-party tools previously mentioned. So, being able to provide them with real information about your site through a media pack, or even just a screenshot can make you far more appealing for potential collaborations. 

Google Analytics can be intimidating when getting started, but the good news is Google offers online training from beginner to advanced levels via their Analytics Academy.  

Why connect your Get Blogged account to Google Analytics?

The Get Blogged platform has relied on a third-party tool for a long time and it has become obvious that this tool can not offer reliable data, with traffic information being grossly underestimated. This means our brands do not have the best data in order to decide who is best to hire for their assignments. 

Connecting your Get Blogged profile with Google Analytics means your blog can put its best foot forward and can show off just how well it is doing, becoming more appealing to brands wanting to make hires. 

How to connect Get Blogged to Google Analytics

The process to connect your profile to Google Analytics is a simple one: 

1. Click on your name in the top right-hand corner, and click ‘your profile’.
2. Scroll down to the ‘websites’ section, and click on the three dots parallel to your website name.
3. Click the ‘Google Analytics’ button.
4. Sign in with your Google Account.
5. You will be directed back to your profile page. All done!

It may take a few days to pull your traffic data, so check back later if your stats are not immediately updated.

If you encounter any problems feel free to contact us and we can help you get up and running.

What is a digital media kit?

A digital media kit for creators is an online portfolio that showcases a content creator’s work, achievements, audience demographics, and collaboration opportunities. It serves as a powerful marketing tool for influencers, bloggers, and creators to present their unique value proposition to potential brand partners and sponsors.

By having a well-organised and visually appealing digital media kit, creators can effectively demonstrate their skills, reach, and impact, making it easier to secure partnerships and monetise their online presence.

What’s the difference between a static media kit and a digital one?

A static media kit is a fixed, non-interactive document, usually in PDF format. It contains essential information about a content creator, such as their work samples, audience demographics, and collaboration opportunities. It is often attached to emails or downloaded from a website and requires manual updates whenever there are changes in the creator’s projects, brand partners or statistics.

On the other hand, a digital media kit is an online, interactive portfolio that can be easily updated and shared. It’s more dynamic, as it allows for real-time updates of the creator’s latest work, achievements, and audience metrics.

Digital media kits can include multimedia content, like videos and images. They can also provide a more engaging experience for potential brand partners and sponsors. Additionally, digital media kits offer easier sharing through a unique link. This makes them more accessible and user-friendly compared to static media kits.

The benefits of using a digital media kit for content creators

Versatile and interactive

Digital media kits are incredibly versatile and allow for interactive features that static media kits cannot offer. You can include animations, videos, and clickable links to your website, social media handles, and portfolio examples.

This interactive quality makes your media kit stand out and brings your brand to life in front of potential sponsors.

Instantly updatable

Digital media kits are easily updatable, allowing you to make changes and updates quickly whenever necessary. You can add new accomplishments, collaborations, and other relevant and time-sensitive pieces of information to your digital media kit immediately, without having to redesign the entire layout.

This flexibility allows your media kit to stay current, relevant, and up-to-date, which can increase your chances of securing sponsorships.

Saves time and effort

Digital media kits are a great way to save time and effort. Which we know as a content creator is important. You won’t have to worry about designing a new media kit, or linking new versions on your site and socials. Instead, you can send the link to your digital media kit and simplify the process. This makes it a whole heap easier for you and the potential sponsor.

Cost-effective

Digital media kits offer a cost-effective solution tailored for content creators. By eliminating the expenses associated with redesigning (or even printing) and linking your static media kit, you can focus on maximising your digital presence and attracting more sponsorship opportunities.

Embracing a digital media kit is not only a smart and practical choice but also an essential step in staying ahead in the ever-evolving world of content creation. Don’t miss out on the benefits of this efficient and budget-friendly tool designed to elevate your online influence and boost brand collaborations.

Win more work

A digital media kit can help content creators win more work. How? By showcasing a creator’s work and skillset in a more professional and interactive way. Here are some specific ways a digital media kit can help content creators secure more work:

Provides a professional image

A digital media kit provides a professional image of a content creator and the work they have produced. Demonstrating that the creator’s taken the time and effort to create a comprehensive page highlighting their creative abilities and professionalism.

Highlight expertise and niche

A digital media kit can be customised to highlight the specific expertise, niche and creative style of the content creator. This allows potential clients to easily understand what the creator has to offer, and how their unique skills would fit with their brand.

Showcases previous work

A digital media kit can include previous campaigns, collaborations, and partnerships. This allows brands to get a feel for the content creator’s experience and the quality of work.

Demonstrate a strong online presence

With links to social media profiles and blogs, potential clients can explore and learn more about a creator’s online presence. This can create a sense of trust which any successful parftnership is built upon.

Where can a digital media kit be shared?

A digital media kit can be shared in various ways to maximise visibility and reach potential brand partners and sponsors. Some effective places to share your digital media kit include:

1. Email Signature: Add a link to your digital media kit in your email signature, making it easily accessible to anyone you communicate with via email.
   
2. Social media profiles: Include the link to your digital media kit in your social media profiles, such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. This ensures that potential collaborators can easily find it when they visit your profiles.
   
3. Your website/blog: Create a dedicated page or section on your website or blog to showcase your digital media kit. You can also add a link to it in your website’s header, footer, or sidebar.
   
4. Online portfolio platforms: Share your digital media kit on portfolio platforms like Behance, Dribbble, or Clippings.me, where potential clients and collaborators may discover your work.
   
5. Influencer networks: If you’re a member of any influencer networks or platforms, make sure to add your digital media kit link to your profile.

The post New platform features for content creators appeared first on Get Blogged .

1. Do your research to enable you to create useful content

The first step to giving a great service to brands is doing your research. You need to make sure that the brand is a good fit for your blog and that its values align with your own. You also need to research the specific product or service they want you to promote. What are its features? How does it benefit your readers? Answering these questions will help you create content that is both informative and persuasive.

2. This is a working relationship, so be professional

When working with brands, it’s important to always be professional. This means meeting deadlines, being responsive to their requests, and upholding the terms of your agreement. Remember, the brands you work with are entrusting you with their reputation – so don’t take that responsibility lightly.

Why being responsive is important

Collaborating with brands can be a great way to get your name out there and earn some extra income. However, it’s important to remember that, as a blogger, you are representing the brand you’re working with. This means that it’s important to be responsive to any requests or questions they may have.

Being responsive shows that you’re reliable and that you take your work seriously. It also demonstrates that you’re willing to go the extra mile to make sure the collaboration is a success. In today’s competitive blogging landscape, it’s important to set yourself apart from the rest. Being responsive is one way to do that.

Of course, being responsive doesn’t mean being available 24/7. You should still have boundaries and make sure you’re not getting taken advantage of. But if a brand asks for a quick turnaround on a blog post or social media campaign, being able to deliver shows that you’re professional and capable.

3. Meet a brand’s deadline

Being a professional blogger requires more than just writing great content. It also requires meeting deadlines, being organised, and maintaining good communication with the brands you work with. Brands rely on bloggers to create content that will help them promote their products or services. When a blogger misses a deadline, it can reflect poorly on the brand and cause them to lose trust in the blogger.

3 reasons why deadlines matter to brands

Deadlines matter for a few reasons. First, when a blogger misses a deadline, it can leave the brand in a difficult position. They may have planned their marketing campaign around the blog post and needed it to go live by a certain date. If the blog post isn’t ready on time, it can throw off their whole campaign.

Second, deadlines help to keep bloggers organised and on track. A missed deadline can set off a domino effect, causing other deadlines to be missed as well.

Finally, missing deadlines reflects poorly on the blogger and can damage their reputation. Brands need to be able to trust that bloggers will meet their deadlines in order to continue working together. When a blogger consistently misses deadlines, it will eventually catch up to them and they may find themselves without any brands to work with.

4. Create high-quality content

Of course, one of the most important things you can do when working with brands is to create high-quality content. This means writing well, using strong visuals, and including accurate information. If you’re not confident in your ability to produce quality content, it’s best to pass on the opportunity or find someone who can help you meet the brand’s expectations.

5. Promote your content effectively

Once you’ve created great content, it’s time to promote it effectively. This means sharing it on your social media channels, email list, and other places where your target audience hangs out online. You should also make sure to tag the brand in any posts or articles so they can amplify your reach even further. This to brands is a value add and goes a long way to forging long-term working relationships.

How to give a great service to brands

Working with brands can be a great way to monetise your blog and build your audience at the same time – but only if you do it right. By following the tips above, you can give brands the quality service they expect and deserve – while also growing your blog in the process. So what are you waiting for? Start reaching out to brands today!
