The Blogging Industry: Freebies, Pitching and Getting Paid

01/18/2018 · BLOGGING TIPS, LIFESTYLE

 

There’s been a lot of drama on the ol’ internet recently, much of which has been centred around bloggers asking for freebies, smaller influencers who want to be paid for their content and whether it’s okay to pitch directly to brands. As someone who has at one point or other fallen into all three categories, I thought I’d chip in on the debate.

Is it okay to pitch to brands or businesses?

I’m starting with this one because the answer is so painfully blatant, I don’t really know why it’s even a discussion point. ABSO-bloody-LUTELY. In any industry getting your name out there and pitching your ideas is key to progression and success; there is nothing shameful in introducing yourself to a brand that you think you may be relevant to, in fact it’s pretty much essential. “Hi, I’m Beth and I’d really like a free top.” is never going to go down well, but if you’ve got a banging content idea then you are doing a disservice to yourself by not pitching it.

Personally, I have made a lot of contacts and contracted sponsored content through approaching brands first. I figured very early on that I was going to need to show them what I’ve got rather than sitting around waiting to be asked, and as far as I know from all the friends I’ve made in the PR side of the things, as long as you’re polite and personal and offering something worth their time then they love it too! I’ll do a post soon on how I personally approach brands, but for the meantime this one by Rhianna is really useful and this Twitter thread by the wonderful Grace Victory sums up my position perfectly.

But what if you’re asking for free stuff?

Ah, the freebies conundrum. It’s a really common misconception that bloggers are just in it for the free stuff; I’ve read it on Twitter, I’ve seen snide comments on Instagram and I’ve even had a few people say it to my face. It’s something I’m really open to talking about because whilst gifting is part and parcel of the industry – just as journos, celebrities and industry experts are constantly being sent new releases to try too – it’s absolutely not what it’s all about. 

If you’re starting a blog because you don’t fancy paying for your make up anymore then you may as well just stick a pair of your nan’s tights over your head and rob Superdrug (I’m joking. Do not do that.) because that is totally not the point and you will lack authenticity and trust from your followers.

Blogging is a job, and it’s a really tough one too. Freebies, be it lunch, a hotel stay or a gifted product, are undeniably really nice perks but they do not pay the bills and it can be really difficult when you’re expected to create work for non-monetary payment.

NOW, this works BOTH ways. Just as bloggers often complain when a brand expects them to offer free content and marketing in exchange for a £30 dress, brands and business are well within their right to get irritated when you ask them to do the same in exchange for exposure on your platform. What they are not entitled to do is publicly name and shame and divulge the contents of a private email for the world to see, a la that horrendously unprofessional hotel that I will never be staying at, nor will I be naming or linking because the swamp donkey who owns it does not deserve anymore traffic.

So, should bloggers be paid (in money, not shoes) for their work and when is exposure acceptable payment?

Fundamentally my answer to any collaboration based question, whether the payment is monetary, product based or exposure based – the latter of which is obviously a huge consideration for the businesses who do let you eat, or stay, or where their product for ‘free’ – is that there has to be mutual benefit. 

From the perspective of a blogger, sometimes the gift or service is enough. Yes, I do have bills to pay and yes, I do rely on blogging as my main source of income but there are brands that I am more than happy to create content for without payment simply through the love of doing this job. That isn’t to say that I don’t feel equally as passionate about the products I am paid to promote, but how can you ever expect someone to hire you if you’ll only ever create paid work? It’s a bit like being an artist who refuses to paint unless it’s a commission. Especially where the item is something I would’ve bought anyway, or from a brand that honestly I wouldn’t usually be able to afford, ‘what’s in it for me‘ is blindingly obvious. On the flip-side, where a brand approaches offering me something I wouldn’t usually be bothered about or that is of very low value then not only would it be insincere to both the brand and my followers to accept, but it’s also just not worth my time.

From the brand or business perspective – and of course this is speculative and purely my view based on my experiences – there has also got to be something that makes offering a free product or service worthwhile. From their view, they are paying you in kind. No, your landlady does not accept shoes, and sometimes offers can come across as a bit of a piss take but then you’re well within your right to politely decline. Thankfully, unlike swamp-donkey hotel, most businesses are pretty social media savvy these days and do understand the worth of bloggers and of marketing budgets, whether that be monetary or in the form of a certain amount of ‘freebies’.

Note: I do use the term ‘free’ loosely. If I’m creating content that I’d usually charge for in exchange for a gift or service then that is not free. I’m just accepting an alternate payment method and I will still work as hard as if my bank account was benefiting.

Should ‘smaller’ bloggers get paid?

My really simple answer to this is only if they have the traffic and influence to make it worthwhile for the brand. I know there will be a few of you who disagree with me on this, and that’s fine. I understand the time/effort argument and I know that a blog isn’t free to run but fundamentally there is no use in a brand paying a blogger out of their marketing budget to produce content if the reach and demographic of those actually seeing it is limited. 

That doesn’t mean that bloggers under a certain following shouldn’t get paid, absolutely not. But if you’re asking for payment then you do need to be able to back it up with the stats that prove you’re worth paying. If you’ve only got 1000 followers, but 20% of them engage regularly with your posts and follow your recommendations then that is fabulous and there is clearly a benefit to the brand, though at that point it’s worth remembering that rates are always going to be based upon your reach.

I’ve seen lots of calls for quality of content to be the indicator, but sadly that’s not always how it works. High quality content should be a given. It’s who you’re then reaching with it that the brands are going to want to pay for. I know that this is incredibly frustrating for bloggers who feel that their work is more than good enough but that they can’t get the ads because they’re stuck at the lower end of the numbers game. I also totally appreciate that some huge accounts have used very immoral methods of reaching such figures and yes, it’s bloody annoying to see someone getting paid when their engagement is as flat as a pancake.

Unfortunately, that is one of the frustrations of the industry. It’s up to brands to do their research and to choose bloggers with authentic and engaged followings and who fit the brand, because if they don’t and they purely focus upon a follower count then chances are they just wasted their money. Equally, it’s up to bloggers to remain authentic and trustworthy and that includes doing it for the love, the passion, and the creativity – which is surely the reason we all started out? – rather than the potential gain.

    Such a great read! Thanks so much for putting it together. I’ve been on both sides of the ‘argument’ per se. At the moment, starting out on the blogger side, but I’m in marketing for a small business. I think your content is extremely well put together and totally makes sense! Great read!

    Completely agree with you Beth! I hate seeing bloggers get snarky on twitter with brands who won’t pay them, because their following is tiny and their content is, let’s face it, average, but perhaps offer a ‘free’ product! As a small content creator, sometimes is just nice to receive a product, just to have something to create content about! I can’t always afford to go out and buy new cosmetics, or candles, or even clothes. So whilst I’m small, I’ll happily test out a new range of skincare and give my thoughts for zero money, because, I don’t, personally think I’m there just yet. Great post Beth, very informative xx

    I love “swamp donkey” I think that’s my new favorite insult 😂 but on a serious note, such a well-written post Beth! I, too, struggle with not knowing exactly when to ask for payment or accept the product as a form of payment. Because yeah, bills still have to be paid. BUT, I also understand that my reach isn’t as big and I’m still in the growing phase so accepting a product (that I like and support of course) is such a huge win for me and I’m thrilled to even be offered that. Like you said, it has to be a mutually beneficial deal for the brand & blogger, and as a blogger we have to be aware of our influence and if it’s worth paying for. Sometimes it’s a hard truth to swallow, but with consistency and heart, the growth will come. 🖤

    Really great well thought out post. I’ve put off starting a blog for years for a bucket load of reasons, and not least of all of late the amount of people I’ve seen who seem to be of the mind ‘ok I’ve started a blog, what are you going to pay me to post’. Or equally the instant desire to monetise.

    Certainly, there’s no issue with wanting to earn from the work put out there, but if it’s the initial driving force it seems a little skewed to me?

    There’s really no such thing as free. If a brand sends something to you, they aren’t doing it out of the good of their hearts. They want you to talk about it. I think a lot of people don’t realise exposure has a value.

    Rambling now. I’m sure I had a point. 😉

    The way that hotel handled that email was shocking! I would personally feel uneasy emailing a brand to ask for something for free like that but there’s nothing wrong in politely declining, rather than publicly humiliating someone. As you say, sometimes being gifted a product can work well for both the blogger and brand, so I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s up to each individual to decide if it’s right for them or not. It’s all a bit of a minefield really but it would be nice if there could be more respect shown and politeness sometimes. Fab post Beth x

    I’m just a little confused as to your true standpoint on this matter because your pinned tweet on Twitter is a sarcastic hit at a brand offering you a mince pie in exchange for content: https://twitter.com/bethanysandland/status/932369858951565313

    I personally do agree that certain bloggers and influencers should be remunerated in exchange for content, or at the very least provided gifts to be reviewed/showcased, but not every brand/company is in a position where they have the budget to be able to do so. Does that mean they should just not bother with blogger outreach? If a blogger always has to be gifted/paid to feature product then where does the authenticity come from? It’s no surprise that the digital audience is becoming frustrated and switched off to influencer endorsements these days.

    Regardless where people stand on the paid/free features, one thing I think everyone should agree on is snarky/bitchy posts from either the brand or the blogger is in bad taste. We cannot hold companies to one standard but then say bloggers are in their right to name/shame brands when they contact you wanting to collaborate with no payment involved. Where do you really stand?

      Hi Martha,

      Firstly I just want to say I’ve removed a line from your comment because you mention a brand by name, and it isn’t even a brand I’ve worked with or mentioned ever myself. I would never, ever name or shame anyone.

      That aside, thanks so much for your reply and joining in the debate! My stance is exactly what I’ve written in the post above. I don’t get the impression from your comment that you’re a regular reader of my blog or Instagram because I work very closely with a lot of brands on a gifting basis and I also often share products I’ve bought myself, and most of my clothes are not gifted or sponsored by I’ll always tag them.

      The tweet you reference about the mince pie was a joke, written as one and taken as one by those who know my sense of humour. I was in no way referencing or bitching about the brand, it really was just genuinely funny. I can’t see any circumstance where it would be a serious suggestion to pay someone with a mince pie?

      You’re right about not every brand having a budget and I have worked with and supported several start ups too. However I do think generally speaking there should be some form of mutual benefit: if a brand chooses to approach you asking you to buy their product, then post about it, I do find that a little uneasy. It would be like me messaging someone and telling them to read my blog! I’d much rather buy products I’ve chosen to and shout about them!

      For me, the authenticity comes from only ever sharing things I love and have/or would spend my own money on. It doesn’t matter to me if my favourite moisturiser was gifted or I bought it; I’ll share it all the same.

      It’s a shame you feel ‘switched off’, I do think bloggers have a responsibility to consider the brands they’re working with and the products they’re promoting, however I do not feel out of touch with my followers, rather quite the opposite. I always have a lot of positive feedback from the products I do share (sponsored/gifted/purchased) and tangible proof through link clicks or affiliate sales.

      Hope that helps! X

    Couldn’t agree more with your view Beth! The blogging world gets so much bad press and what’s happened recently has really irritated me but it’s good that brands are slowly but surely seeing the worth that bloggers have for brands! Personally, I wouldn’t have heard of a lot of brands if it wasn’t for bloggers I follow using their products/promoting them 🙂 x

    Love this! Totally agree with everything that you’re saying, and I think it would benefit a lot of people to read this! I don’t think people realise how much work and effort you have to put in as a blogger! I know I wouldn’t spend all the time that I do doing it if it was to solely get sent free products….it would be a lot easier to go out and buy them! We do it because we love what we do, and getting products sent to us is just a perk of the job (like most people in employment have!)

    I’m a bit torn on this issue because I do think that smaller bloggers should get paid, but under certain circumstances. I think if a brand reaches out to a blogger, I’m assuming that it must be because something is attractive about them. So, I think it’s definitely fair for the blogger to treat it like advertising space. You would pay an outdoor advertising company for a billboard placement because the amount of traffic coming through is attractive. If I were a brand, I would think the same when enlisting a blogger. I think it’s the same with social media advertising. There’s never any true certainty what result you will get. I think it can be a very complex issue.

      You’re right, the ROI is almost impossible to track aside from affiliate links etc. Your billboard analogy is also right, but there would be no point in someone paying to put one up on a back road that a minimal number of people drive down, and I think that’s where I stand in terms of paying small bloggers who don’t have the stats/traffic to back it up. I think that’s where gifting can be really great as it’s still recognising someone, it often gives bloggers something to write about where they might be stuck and for the brand they’re introducing the blogger and her/his following to the product, it just may not be enough reach to warrant paying yet.

    Hey! Thanks for putting this up & answering these questions in an honest way.

    Just wanted to point out that in regards to the whole ‘swamp donkey’ fiasco , it was my understanding that the hotel published an email sent to them by a blogger but kept all identifying information (name , email , brand) anonymous and it was then the blogger in question who later announced it was her, and subsequently brought all that attention on herself … seems unfair to lay all the blame on the door of a business.

      They didn’t cover her details very clearly, and so they were found out by people and she received a torrent of abuse before she made the video. The reality is it was publicity for them both. What I really disagreed with was the fact he ever published it online and the banned ‘all bloggers’. Equally, the same guy has banned vegans, breastfeeding mums and gluten free people so she should’ve done her research better – he’s clearly antagonistic!

    I totally agree to all your points. And i understand both sides since I used to sell cosmetics/hair care products and would ask bloggers for review in exchange of a product.
    I just started a personal blog, and I haven’t approached any brand. I dont think I have what it takes to make their money worthwhile YET. And personally I am not the kind of person who ask for freebies because I know I can afford stuff or work hard to get it. I have done hotel and product reviews for free, and i have paid for all of them. Hopefully, in time, I will be able to show something worth their time.

    That was super great! I am new and still small and have not even thought about approaching businesses or anything like that! I want to get plenty of great content that is true to me and my vision, and have great people who enjoy it for what it is! Then maybe one day I might make a dollar from it or even receive one thing free and that will be lovely! But I absolutely agree that no matter what the content should be excellent always so companies are getting what they pay for and on the flip side they should be willing to pay for the excellent work! Super great read!

I’ll really miss my bump. It’s such an odd shi I’ll really miss my bump. It’s such an odd shift; we spend years being told to strive for flat, toned stomachs, holding it in and angling ourselves in photographs, wearing things that don’t cling in the ‘wrong’ places. I live in an incredibly privileged body - I’m white and naturally slim. I don’t struggle to find clothes that fit me and I conform to the ‘norm’ of beauty standards both pre and during pregnancy, I recognise that. And yet I’ve still stood in front of the mirror countless times and prodded a size 8 stomach. Now I’m praised for how it’s ‘popped’, how beautiful and big and round it looks. I stroke it and talk to it and love it - it’s my baby’s first home. But it’s also the body I’ve physically felt the most confident in, probably because it’s praised for defying all those usual ‘goals’ of societal standards. As birth approaches I’ve started thinking about the other side. I’m nervous, because this is the body I’m comfortable in now. The pressure we put on ourselves - or is put upon us - to ‘regain’ a figure that has just been literally internally rearranged by the creation of an entire human being. Equally, the scrutiny and criticism we pile on women who appear to look ‘too good’ ‘too quickly’. A supermodel posts a photo selling a pair of pyjamas 10 days post-partum and gets ripped apart for it, like she owes a burden to society not to make other women feel bad. We seem to overlook genetics and circumstance entirely and assume we should all follow the same physical trajectories, without having any clue what’s going on in someone’s head either. Does “you look amazing!” come before “how are you really doing?”...I don’t know where I’m going with this anymore - feel free to chip in with your experience! 💛

36 WEEKS 💛✨ We’re into our final week of pr 36 WEEKS 💛✨ We’re into our final week of pre-term pregnancy. In less than a weeks time, bub will be welcome to make a grand entrance whenever they’re ready! Mama just needs that one more week to finish up work and tie off loose ends. I’ve got a little to do-list and then I’m very, very ready to slow down. From full term I’m calling it my unofficial maternity leave; no pressure, no deadlines, plenty of day time baths and naps and alllll the oxytocin I can muster! It’s an odd limbo period, feeling ready to welcome our little one earth side now but knowing that it could be a week or it could be six. I don’t want to wish away time or clock/calendar watch but I also just want my baby safely snuggled in my arms. 🌈🙏🏼

The highs/lows of 36 weeks:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐳 Everything aches, everything is swollen. Even my tongue?!
🥛 Colostrum harvesting: weirdly satisfying! But whoever said ‘don’t cry over spilt milk’ has never squirted a syringe-full all over themselves...
😴 Insomnia (aka that thing that makes you want to punch people who say “sleep while you can! 🤗”)
🧘🏼‍♀️ Keeping up the Hypnobirthing though our course has finished, had my birth preferences approved by the midwife and generally feeling excited and ready for the main event!
🥘 Batch cooking! Slowly filling up the freezer.
🧠 I’d like to say baby brain isn’t a thing and I’m still as sharp as ever but it’s just not true. Basic tasks are becoming much more of an effort!
🌪 Didn’t think I could get windier. Sorry husband.

Today I’m celebrating what - to me - is a big ca Today I’m celebrating what - to me - is a big career move. Last week I signed a contract to take on management and now have a lovely agent representing me and my little business! I started my blog in late 2016 and ever since it’s just been me (and my very supportive husband) behind the scenes. I don’t think people think of professional bloggers/content creators as small businesses, but that’s exactly what I run and I’ve done it single handedly from day one. I’ve learnt to wear many hats, I’m incredibly protective of what I’ve built and if I’m honest, I absolutely suck at delegating. Truly atrocious at it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, the right person who I feel gets me and my ethos came along at what feels like very much the right time, with a new, tiny player about to join the team 👶🏼...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels like the right step for my business but also for my family as I learn to navigate life as a working mama (as an aside; I had no idea how poor/impossible stat maternity pay is before researching it as a pregnant mum!) My business relies on all of you so without getting my cheese on, I’m forever incredibly grateful for the support and the fact that this space allows me to work for myself and provide for my family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve got some big ideas for 2021 but first I’m very much looking forward to winding down over the next couple of weeks and protecting my energy ahead of our little persons big arrival. 🙏🏼✨
Just documenting that one time in 2021 that I wore Just documenting that one time in 2021 that I wore make up AND a bra AND blow dried hair simultaneously...in my living room 😝 I’m so ready to meet baby but I know I’ll really miss my bump. I’ve found it a lot easier to dress and feel comfortable with my body embracing the one part we always try so hard to hide. 🤰🏻
