What is a Blog Sponsorship?

What is a Blog Sponsorship?

There are a number of ways you can make money with your blog. Not everyone starts a blog with a goal of earning money directly through their platform. Some folks wish to position themselves as an expert in their niche or to sell their products. Others may utilize their blog primarily as a means to showcase their writing or other skill. Some bloggers write in order to express their creativity or to connect with others. Blogging can simply be a lot of fun. However, if you’d like to earn direct revenue from your blog, you may be wondering about blog sponsorship and just what is involved in this broad concept. Read on for an overview of how bloggers can benefit from sponsors.

What is a Blog Sponsorhips?

Sponsorship involves a wide array of methods in which companies can provide money or other agreed upon benefits in exchange for advertising or promotion on your site. You can choose to work with sponsors in ways that best fit your preferences. Some bloggers like to write advertorial posts about a brand’s product. Others may prefer a more passive method of earning such as receiving a monthly fee for placing a banner ad in their sidebar. It’s even possible that a company may pay a substantial sum to become an exclusive sponsor of a well-known blog within their niche.

Benefits of Sponsorship

You can benefit from blog sponsorship in ways that don’t involve direct monetary payment also. For example, travel and conference sponsorships are popular for bloggers who wish to take advantage of professional networking opportunities without paying out-of-pocket for the bulk of the trip. Terms are negotiated on a case by case basis, but often involve writing future posts on behalf of the company or mentioning them in social media posts while attending the event. Sometimes you may receive opportunities to attend such things as press events, tours of brand headquarters, exclusive blogger activities and more. Many bloggers also consider access to review items a perk of the job, particular if the item is useful to them or is of high monetary value.

Some Considerations

Acquiring blog sponsors, choosing quality opportunities, negotiating terms and providing value to your readers are all aspects to consider when deciding to work with advertisers. It’s important to choose only opportunities you believe will provide benefits that go beyond the money. Working with sponsors that are relevant to your blog’s subject matter and your readers’ interest should be something you strive to do. In addition, placing too many sidebar ads can be distracting and take away from the visual appeal of your blog’s design. It can also cause your blog to load or run slowly. Communication is essential when working with advertisers. Be sure you understand the terms fully before agreeing to them. Always ask questions if you’re unsure about something. Doing so will increase the odds that you’ll feel satisfied with the work that you do on behalf of the sponsor, as well as keep the door open to the possibility of future opportunities to work together.

Blog sponsorship can be a great way to earn some income. Securing advertising partnerships that are fulfilling takes a lot of time, dedication and maintenance. Once you discover what works for you and your readers, navigating the details becomes much easier and sponsorship can become a significant piece to your monetization strategy.
