Bloggers!

[Deleted]

Have any of you bloggers done sponsored posts? I've been approached to review a website and product (they sell sandals) but I have no idea what I should ask for compensation.

Any help would be great!

every company that's approached me to write a sponsored/compensated post has always offered something without me asking for it.

I have never accepted anything under $100 for a sponsored post. It all depends what your stats are, including Google PR.

If they are actually asking you to review the sandals, they themselves are your payment. I don't review items under $25.

Depends on your traffic. I personally know bloggers who accept $20 and others who charge $300. I'm sure the big guys are charging more. I have yet to see a standardized "if you get X page views a month, you can charge Y," unfortunately.

I've been getting a LOT of emails saying "we'll provide you with great content for free, all we ask is a link!" - yeah no, you'll pay to get your link on my page. So my experience has not been the same as wannabe's, it's been that these people want to pay as little as possible, so you need to be the one to set your price.

Oh, and yeah, if you're reviewing the sandals then the free pair of sandals is your compensation. I don't think you get anything more than that.

If you are getting money beyond sandals they probably would have mentioned it.
