Bloggers & Brands (A New E-Book)

I’m super duper excited today!  Why, you ask?  Well, my friend Shannon over at AKA Design & Life has a new book out and I know you’re going to love it! Bloggers & Brands!

Many of you who read this blog have blogs of your own and I know some of you, if not all of you, are interested in working with brands.  Perhaps you’ve been dreaming of the perfect shade of green for your kitchen or you have a yard transformation planned for the summer or maybe you want to do laminate floors.  But you’ve had some concerns…Are your numbers big enough?  Would a brand be interested in you and your project?  Yes! Bloggers & Brands talks all about taking the first steps and testing out the water.

I’ve been friends with Shannon for years and we finally met at the Haven Conference (in person) over the summer.  She is super bubbly and warm and, really she’s just like she is on her blog, funny, savvy, articulate.  Okay, you get the point!

Since starting her blog three years ago she’s worked with many, many brands.  From these fabulous laminate floors with Lumber Liquidators

to this beautiful modern farmhouse dining room that she worked on with Home Depot.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is Shannon knows her stuff and she knows how to work with brands.  If you want to work with brands then I highly recommend getting a copy of this book because it offers answers to all you’ve been wondering (in one place).

What’s inside the book?!?

• Why to work with brands.
• HONEST Pros & Cons of working with brands.
• Who to contact.
• How to craft a one page pitch.
• Work sheets to help you start brainstorming – ideas & brands you’d like to work with.
• All about negotiations and contracts.
• Numbers – What are you worth? 
• How to remain authentic.

There is so much in this 112 page e-book.  I feel so lucky that Shannon gave me a preview.  I read it cover to cover.  I could hear her voice and her giggle in my head as I read it.

Bloggers & Brands will make you feel like you have a cheerleader and friend right by your side as you go through the process of pitching a brand from start to finish.

While at Haven I asked Shannon so many questions about brands and working with them.  Probably over a hundred! I’m happy to tell you since then I’ve worked with some brands that I really love and, with the help of this book, I’m hoping to pitch some amazing projects for our home.  Keep your fingers crossed.
