INSIDE THIS EPISODE
* Pitching Brands
* Brands pitching bloggers
* Your Ideal Reader...Your Target Audience
* Components of a standard pitch

JUICY QUOTES
"The big thing is to take the middle man out. To take the blogger network out of the equation." Taylor Bradford

"When you are working with the brand directly, you also have more flexibility in terms of length of contract, focus. You are really able to tailor a campaign to your audience versus a campaign that a company has gone to a network and paid to have 50 bloggers participate in. So you can really be sure it's perfect for your readership versus everyone else in your niche." Carly Anderson

"If it doesn't make sense for your brand, there is no point in pitching them." Taylor Bradford

"It's going to end up being one of those posts that is difficult to write. [one that doesn't fit with your brand or is a stretch]" Carly Anderson

"You have to always be careful with how you say no to the brand." Taylor Bradford

"If you have the perfect blogger for what they are looking for, recommend them." Taylor Bradford

"It's a matter of what they have to offer and when they are able to pay." Carly Anderson

"Looking at it as an opportunity to pitch what you can do, is the best way to go." Carly Anderson

"Nobody wants to work with that rude girl." Carly Anderson

"Identify the brands that you most want to work with. That most aligns with your community and your brand. And go after those companies and those brands. As long as there is a mutual benefit to the two of you, it's probably going to work. Most likely. Unless you are pitching to the moon or something." Taylor Bradford

"It's important to come up with who is your customer." Taylor Bradford

INSIDE THIS EPISODE
* Disclosures
* The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

JUICY QUOTES
"What is a disclosure? In general laymen terms, it's just you alerting your readers that you received product or compensation or the post is sponsored. Or the tweet is sponsored. You are alerting them to that fact." Taylor Bradford

"Disclosures are mandated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)." Taylor Bradford

"The key things that you need to pay attention to in there (in the Dot Com Disclosure guidelines from the FTC) is that a disclosure has to be clear, concise and conspicuous." Taylor Bradford

"The rule states that it (your disclosure) has to be before your first outbound link." Jennifer Salter

"When it comes to disclosures on your website or your blog, that's it. That's the bottom line. You have to disclose. If you get paid for something. You have to disclose that you got paid." Taylor Bradford

"You have to tell them (your reader) because they need to take that into consideration in whether or not you have a biased opinion on the product or service or something. If they don't know that you received compensation for something, they are going to take you at face value. But what if you did receive compensation, you might blur the lines a little bit on something if you weren't satisfied or what not. People need to know that kind of stuff." Jennifer Salter

"You do not want to dupe a consumer. They can go right to the FTC and report you for that." Taylor Bradford

"A person coming over from Pinterest doesn't understand the blogging world, if they are not a blogger themselves. You have to be writing like they don't know there's rules." Taylor Bradford

"You have to write like they (your readers) know nothing and you are explaining from the very beginning and in the most basic form." Jennifer Salter

"Do not use hashtag #sp because your typical person does not know what that stands for." Taylor Bradford

"You can't use the "I didn't know"." Taylor Bradford

"You need to start asking questions, especially if this is something you want to do to start making some side hustle money from." Taylor Bradford

INSIDE THIS EPISODE
* Link Parties
* Blog Crawl & Hops
* Ideal Customer

JUICY QUOTES
"A link party is basically where the host blog, gives you the opportunity to leave a link and a thumbnail image that links back to your site in a particular post. The cool thing about that is that you are getting your content out in front of their viewers." Jennifer Salter

"We live in an image-based society." Jennifer Salter

"I think you have to ask yourself a couple of questions before you decide if you are going to host a link party. It's a lot of work. It's not something you just decide to do and if you want it to truly grow, you're going to have to put the time and effort behind it. And you also have to ask yourself, 'why are you doing it?'" Taylor Bradford

"If you are dropping your own links, you are hoping that you will potentially have more eye balls on your posts." Taylor Bradford

"You always want to be asking yourself, 'Is this beneficial to my ideal reader?' 'Is this answering their questions?' 'Is this providing them value?' Because those are the people, your readers, are the people that are continuing to come back to your website." Taylor Bradford
