This post has been a long time coming. I’ve received hundreds of emails from multi-million dollar companies that “reach out” because they “just LOVE your blog” and want to “showcase some inspiration from bloggers” and will “choose the best for a chance to be featured on our *some over inflated number of followers* fans! My favorite moment that illustrates this is when I got an email from ProFlowers (Yes, I’m calling them out.) about how they would love for me to do a post on how florals inspire an outfit. Okay, great! You’d think I would need actual flowers for this. I wrote them back, told them I needed either actual flowers or money for this. I immediately was met with, “We have no budget and cannot pay or give you anything.” Oh really, then why am I watching a commercial for ProFlowers right now on my TV? No budget my very large fannie.
Well guess what, I know you are just doing your job, but that’s the thing. You are getting PAID to do your job. You are getting PAID to email me, ask me to invest my time in your company, put together a post, boost it on social media, and don’t even offer payment or an item? Specifically, the item you want me to talk about? Uh, okay, yeah, no. You are getting paid to do your job, so why do you think that I will work for free? You have absolutely no care that I present posts that mean something to me and I truly do like or use the item. You just want me to be a free billboard for you and feel flattered that a large company found my blog.
I realize that a lot of people will fall for this. They will truly think that if they partner with you now, for free, then eventually a really great, big project will come their way. The issue is this: when you start working for free, you can’t leverage that into pay. You have set the precedent that you are okay will working for free. Social media exposure doesn’t pay for my gas, lunches, clothing, anything. If it did, I would be a millionaire from the offers I’ve gotten. I realize that some people are okay with doing this and that’s not my point. I know it’s your right to do that. I just don’t want anyone to pretend that this is how you leverage respect and payment later on.
I think that companies frequently prey on smaller blogs because they truly do think that the author isn’t educated enough to know that you should be getting paid. That you have to disclose said payment, that you know that when you work for free you can never leverage it into a paid gig. I was told by another company that they don’t have the money for paying for a post and then the next day a massive blogger had a post sponsored by them. They have the money. They will use it for who they value.
I’m not saying all of this in anger. I’m saying it in frustration because I am tired of these pitches. I’m tired of seeing bloggers who fall for this and I just want to say NO GIRL NO! YOU ARE WORTH IT! Ask for something in return. They sure as heck aren’t afraid to ask for something from YOU.

PREACH. I get so many emails about creating posts around a specific topic and all I'd get out of it is exposure, and ONLY if they like it? Really? No. It almost makes me want to take down my email address. So, thank you for writing this. I hope they read it and actually consider it!

Thank.You. Talk about disrespect. I'm personally glad you shared and shouted out about this company, and other companies for that matter, especially in hopes that younger bloggers will learn from what you have. It seems the older I get the more I see this kind of wanting something for free,or even at a stupidly low price because, hey, your new at this, what you're doing is small beans so I'm sure you'll help us out. um…yeah..like NEVER! down off my short soap box (I'm afraid of falling, what can I say tee hee

Yeah, I. Always arrayed by this too. Sometimes I counter there "free" and we cme out wth a fair price for a sponsored post and sometimes I get the "n budget" nonsense. 😒

Laura B
AMEN SISTER!! It's very frustrating. I've worked hard to get my blog where it is with followers, content…everything. And you want to just use me to promote your dumb product for free?!! Umm, no. I typically just delete them. I love your idea of responding back. If smaller boutiques will work with you and provide you things to style, bigger companies certainly have the budget to compensate you for your time and effort. Very early on I made the mistake of doing it a couple times, and they didn't even bother to promote my post. It's all lies!
Inge Jane
Yes! I'm glad you put this out there. It is kind of crazy how often companies will solicit for posts with absolutely nothing in return. I'll admit that I'm not actively trying to grow my blog, but I'll consider sponsored posts, if they are in fact sponsored in some way. The something for nothing gig isn't appealing.
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest
PREACH, SISTA! This post is the best and was the perfect thing to start my week.
Rachel Lynne
YES! this this this! I have fallen prey to this in the past – but now I'm like… NO are you serious? I put a LOT of time, effort and energy into planning a post, especially featuring a brand I love. Do not ask me to work for free – I have worked with a couple bigger name brands thinking that if they shared me on social media perhaps it would lead to some great exposure. Nope – nothing. No new followers, no new interactions! Anyway – I think it is awesome that you called out a company that did this to you.
Katie
YES! I've had the same experience with Pro Flowers. Really? You can't even send me flowers to work with? They also tell you they might feature your post. Are you for real? You want me to create a post for you, pay me nothing and maybe you will feature it. It that isn't wrong, I don't know what is. It's so frustrating. Thanks for sharing! xo

Great post Alyssa! Not going to lie, when I started getting these types of emails, I did fall for it a couple of times, but now that I know the amount of time I have to invest in something like that I know darn well that I should be compensated in some form for investing my time. I just had the whole "sorry we don't have a budget for this" email sent to me. It really is annoying and completely rude.

When my blog first started growing a bit I'd hear from brands like this all the time – and at first I didn't realize that I wouldn't be compensated for my time/effort/publicity for them at all! Now I'm equipped with questions to ask to determine the "what's in it for me"…which helps narrow it down to only the brands I want to work with, who also want to work with me, in a mutually beneficial situation!
kate @ a journey in style
Amen! I more get ticked when they ask me to put together some post that has nothing to do with my blog. "Can you create a collage using your four favorite destination wedding spots, and what kind of dress a bride should wear in each spot?" Um. Have you seen my blog? Do you think I'm the kind of person who has ever been to a destination wedding? And wouldn't the dress be the same for every spot? What?
Anyway, I'm happy to know that you don't just … give yourself away (to put it nicely), and that you're not one of those bloggers that has c/o everything everyday. Bah!

Preach it, preach it sister! Amen! Amen! and again Amen! I only did two posts for free and got jipped, even had a company tell me to go back months later and add a different code to which I did not. Then the other company didn't even make a "viewable" collage of the bloggers that participated. That is why I added a sponsor/advertise disclaimer page on my blog. Sure I am still contacted to do "free" advertisizing but they either don't respond when I e-mail them about a price or item to review or I get the "we don't have the budget" and then I see other bloggers fall prey and I just lower my head in frustration. I could go on and on but you said it all! Good outfit too.

Preach!
In my early days of blogging, it was exciting to be approached. Most offered product in return for my work which was way cool. Then eventually the offers were just "post about us and we MIGHT promote your post on our huge social networks". I tried it once or twice and conveniently my posts were never chosen to go viral. I foolishly played right into their plan.
Luckily I've gotten much wiser and am a lot more firm about what I will and will not do. You'd think now since blogging is really such a big thing that companies would get a clue and work fairly. We're no longer just bloggers, we're savvy entrepreneurs. 😉

so so true! Your time is valuable, too! It's such a shame that there are those who will go ahead and do things "for free" because they believe that this approach will lead them towards "bigger and better." But, if the company doesn't value your time then they aren't worth it either! Big or small, people deserve respect!

I get these scam sounding emails so frequently that I don't bother emailing back. Maybe it isn't professional but Im not a full time blogger and its a waste of time!
willfullyelegant
Oh this is as true as it gets!! I didnt realize this the first time a menswear company contacted me to do a post featuring their pictures that i could use and they would then showcase those that they liked. I fell for it, and only after that did I realize what a fool I had been! I started to either completely ignore emails that didnt fall with in the category of my blogging or wrote back exactly as you did. And guess what each time the answer was same, no budget right now, we will contact you later should something come up, I was like yeah, thanks but no thanks. They do prey on small bloggers to get free press. If I genuinely like something, I wouldnt need the company to contact me to shill it for them, I would happily promote it myself. But this kind of freeloading really bothers me. I am so glad you wrote about this because I was getting to a point where I was surely going to write about it as well. Very frustrating.
Rachel
Warby Parker is infamous for doing that (I like to call them out because they annoy me).
Bogi RedReticule
I get frustrated with pitches like that myself. I had a company who offered me clothing for "free" to photograph and market. After several emails back and forth I am told to post my wish list on my blog… Yeah, right! Companies like that like to ignore the fact how much time it takes for you to prep the post, find location, take photos, process the images and write the post around it. It would cost them thousands if they hired a model and a photographer and this doesn't include social media marketing! I agree with you: you have to be pickier with companies and value your time and effort enough to get a something in return.
Great post, love and your smile is irresistible.

Yeesh, how frustrating! I have to say I can identify with this, not necessarily as a blogger (companies don't really care about my corner of the internet), but as a graduate student. In academia, instead of social media exposure, it seems that the "payment" is learning how to conduct research. While that is an incredibly valuable skill, I don't think that means that it's appropriate to pay students next to nothing for them to carry out research. OK, rant/tangent over. All of this is to say: I feel your pain!
Kristina
100%!!!!!!!! They've reached out to me in the past too and didn't offer anything in return. t just don't understand how companies think they can get away with not compensating bloggers. Why would I do work for you for free? As a community we all need to stand up for ourselves and know our worth.

I wish more bloggers would post negative reviews about companies they've had unpleasant experiences with. I understand that your post isn't about a bad experience with a purchase, but your honesty is very refreshing and, as a blog reader, I really appreciate it. The way fashion blogs are monetized, bloggers are afraid to burn bridges or come off abrasive or unlikeable. I do understand that bloggers have a right to make money off their work, but the fear of saying something negative and scaring off potential sponsors shortchanges the readers. My husband reads a lot of websites with video game reviews, and the reviewers feel free to give honest reviews, good, mixed, or bad. This doesn't seem to negatively affect their relationship with sponsors. Maybe there is gender bias that creates a different expectation of reviewers in a female dominated sphere as opposed to a male dominated one, with women expected to always be "nice."
Nikki
LOL OMG I could have written this post myself. In fact, I am almost positive we have discussed this before. It is RIDICULOUS!! They want you to write about them and then they MIGHT mention you somewhere… I love writing about brands I love because I love them, but I am not going to write about someone because they asked me to just because. I don't have time for that crap. Also, the brands that say they are OFFERING to write a post for you about them. Ummm ok, great, but why would I need you to write something for me?? I really think PR people must thing bloggers are complete morons.

So…fucking….true!!! I've received so many e-mails exactly like the one you mentioned that I've become a pro at spotting them from the first two sentences. It usually starts off with "We love your blog, you're perfect for the job, we have a company that is EXTREMELY POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL and we need you to do this and this, give us your time and effort in exchange for nothing, because why the hell not"…
GAAAH!
But my most favorite ones are those that want you to make a product review and they send you pictures of their products. A pixelated picture of their product to review!!! Do you know what they deserve? They deserve a picture of your review, a screenshot, that's what they deserve!

It's really interesting being a blogger and someone who works in PR/Marketing full time. I can see why they do this, because like you said, they know that people will take the bait. On the other hand, it's extremely frustrating because I am creating content that sometimes takes 2-4 hours to put together. You HAVE to know your worth! If a brand comes to me, i expect to be compensated in some sort of way, and of course, i want that brand to fit my brand. I see a lot of bloggers getting caught up in "Oh that's a paid opp" but then it has nothing to do with their brand! It drives me insane! We should also look at it in that we're a community, and when a brand has several bloggers who will do something for nothing, it hurts the rest of us. We need to unite together and make brands realize that we are influential and worth their budget!

So true! I get this in my professional life as well. I'm a journalist, and I hate, more than anything, getting emails or seeing job postings with the line, "we are not paying for services yet, but this is a great opportunity for exposure." Um, HELLO?! "Exposure" will not pay for my rent, or the two degrees I obtained gaining the valuable skills that I now have. If you want my talent, you have to pay for it.

Absolutely agree! As someone in PR I totally get it, and am equally shocked when HUGE PR companies and huge brands reach out like this, or even local PR companies with smaller companies make insane requests — they clearly do not value my time or blog reach — when they make these offers. It's a PR pro's job to manage expectations with clients, create the strategic plan and advise that it will cost money to create real posts.
Anyway, adore you and good for you to pipe up! Bloggers need to say NO. It helps all of us.

Kudos to you Alissa for taking the time to not just vent a little bit of the frustration from PR teams that don't take a blogger's time seriously, but for also saying what a lot of us think when we receive these emails. My personal experience has been a learning curve and I know what to ignore now, but I also feel there isn't enough information that is accessible to help new or veteran bloggers how to navigate this type of thing. It was hard not to feel special for being emailed and contacted for something, but at the same time I would have loved having a resource to go to to be able to know what to in those situation in the early days of blogging.
You are the best and I thank you for sharing this so that more bloggers know to not let their time and energy put into their blog be taken advantage of by PR/Marketing companies and demand to be compensated.

Best post ever!! Yes yes yes a hundred times! I get emails like this all the time! Oh that's so nice that you want me to write a post. What you're not going to pay me for my time? No thanks then.

THANK YOU!!! thank you for writing this… I am still a new blogger and sometimes feel annoying when I turn down offers for free work. I have done things for free for bigger brands like Warby Parker simply because I personally love the brand, but other than that I think it's so disrespectful that brands expect us smaller bloggers to do things for a "POTENTIAL social media shout out". Not cool, so thank you again for putting this out there! You said that a lot of us feel but don't have the guts to say!

Thank you for finally saying this!! As a small blogger, I am flattered when I get these emails but can usually tell whether it's a paid opportunity or not. I started by responding with this: "Thank you for reaching out to me! I'd love to work with your company. I charge X-amount for sponsored posts. I'd love to hear more about the opportunity and company. Thanks again!" Something along those lines. I either get the, " Oh I'm sorry but we don't have money for that, if they bother to respond at all. So frustrating when we put so much time and effort into our blogs. We aren't going to work for free!

Wow. I feel sort of gullible right now! I am so glad you wrote this. I have not been blogging for very long so that is my excuse. But no more. I just told someone I would do a book review (for free). It will take me hours to read the book and hours to write the review… why am I not getting paid for my time? I really wonder if there is anyway I can back-track politely and discuss compensation for the review. Is there a standard price for a book review? hum. Thanks!
Jenn, hellorigby.com
This is a great post – so much truth here. I was also approached by ProFlowers and it is awful that they are doing this. Like you said, they clearly have a multi-milllion dollar ad budget to spend on commercials, so why can't they offer compensation to bloggers too? After being frustrated by another email and being frustrated seeing other bloggers "give it up" for free, I wrote this: http://hellorigby.com/blog-tips-how-to-respond-to-brand-email-inquiries/ in hopes of helping a few others realize their worth and how to navigate these sticky brand/blogger situations.

Yep! I was one of those small blogs, I only did it once. Now it's like "Really? I'd appreciate if you stopped emailing me!" I recall getting this email from a dating site…and then it got fishy.
