Maximize Your Blogging: Having an Organized Media Kit

Simplify: 7 Guiding Principles to Help Anyone Declutter Their Home and Life

Maximize Your Blogging: Having an Organized Media Kit

By Blogging • February 23, 2009

At BlissDom ’09, the popular blogging conference hosted by Blissfully Domestic and held in Nashville earlier this month, several panels emphasized the importance of having a professional media kit for interacting with marketers, companies and PR representatives.

For bloggers who are focused on earning income from advertising revenue or product reviews, having an organized and complete media kit is an important part of this strategy.

With help from Tara from Deal Seeking Mom, I put together the following media kit template (in PDF format) for you to tweak and make your own.

It includes complete sections dedicated to:

An overview of your blog and why marketers should oconsider working with you.
A description of your audience demographics and metrics.
Your social media footprint.
Ad formats and pricing available on your blog.
Your ad policy.
Your review and giveaway policy.

Hi. My name is Mandi and I’m an organizing junkie. I’m also a wife, and Momma to four little girls (5.5, 4, 2.5 and a baby!). I've worked at home since our oldest was a baby, and like a lot of other moms, my life is a constant balancing act of caring for my family and my home, meeting my obligations and finding time for hobbies in there somewhere. Oh, yeah, in the interest of full disclosure, I’m somewhat of a kitchen dunce and I only like to pretend that I’m crafty. Read more here!

Hey Mandy, sure sounds like we have a lot in common! I only like to pretend I can cook and only with great recipes do I do okay.

Anyway this is fantastic, thanks for sharing it with us.
