My three advices about sponsored posts for new bloggers

Happy Friday everyone,

I've been thinking of writing something about sponsored posts, quite long time__ mostly, when I was getting some ridiculous offers from some companies, and today, I finally decided to share with you my thoughts, (called them advices,) about sponsored posts.

1. Don't rush. 

Wait until you gain some followers and certain number of page views  a month, because having    sponsored posts  on your blog, when you are just starting to establish your online presence, will not   help to grow your blog. Just imagine, you are visiting some newbie blog where there are mostly sponsored posts and can't get a chance to get to know a blogger herself, I don't think you will have a desire to go back to that blog again.

I personally, started accepting sponsored posts when I got around 3000 page views  a month. 

2. Appreciate your time and work. 

Don't accept to publish sponsored posts for any rate that companies will offer you. Appreciate your 

time and the hard work you put in each post.
 I'm not going to tell you exact rates you have to have for your blog, but I can certainly tell you what you must not accept: $10 per sponsored post is absolutely ridiculous rate, so don't accept it, don't underestimate yourself. Remember, how much time you spend for each post: writing, editing photos, promoting your post on your social media and commenting other blogs __  doesn't all this take at least 3 hours of your day? So, I believe that each hour of your work is worth more than $3 or $4 .

 Even though, most bloggers usually don't write details about their rates, I decided to tell you about my personal experience: I charged $30 for my first sponsored post, a few months ago. That time, I had less than 500 followers on Bloglovin, and less than 200 followers on Google +. Since then, my rate has increased because now I have close to 3000 followers on Bloglovin.

3. Try to publish sponsored posts that matches your niche. 
For example, If you are fashion/beauty blogger and accept sponsored posts about some home supply  products, or promoting some cleaning detergent brands, or something like that,  you will, for sure, loose your readers. So keep that in mind when you get some sponsored opportunity.

I know, there is so much more to write about, but this time, I will stop here.
I hope, this was helpful at least for some of you.

Have a nice day lovely girls.
