I've been researching some blog related topics the past few days.
The research has been spent pondering the ins and outs of having a media kit for your blog or business.
After reading more than several articles on the subject of media kits I decided Bittersweet should indeed have one in their possession. In fact, after reading the numerous articles it seems we're long overdue.
I can best describe a media kit by referring it to a resume for your blog or business.
In the olden days before Internet a media kit consisted of a handy file folder that was neatly filled with a companys bio or information along with a business card and contact information. Nowadays an electronic media kit better fits the times.
How do you know if you need one?
Good question. If you own and manage a small cottage business like myself chances are you would benifit by having one.
If you're interested in offering advertising on your blog, you need one too. A blog media kit contains different information than a business one. You will need to include your advertising rates, page hits, social network resources, etc.
I believe a person with both a blog and business should possibly have more than one media kit.
You will need a media kit if you're interested in finding a publisher or have a desire to have your work published in a magazine. At least you'll be ahead of the crowd if you have a media kit.
As you can see by the Bittersweet media kit example it's really no biggy.
A short bio about your company or blog, contact information and anything else you feel would be an easy read for a first time reader.
Do you have a media kit?
What's your take on the subject?
Enjoy caring and sharing days.
Warmly,
