The blogosphere is all about connecting with other bloggers, and connecting with brands. I don’t usually work with brands. It’s not my goal. If an opportunity presents itself, I take it.
This last week there is quite a bit of talk about monetizing your blog. Again, not something I really care about. I want to make sure blogging stays fun and blogging continues to be for me and my kids.
I won’t deny that I love the occasional perk. That would be lying. I won’t deny that if I did make money off my blog, I wouldn’t be ecstatic. I’m just not willing to taint my blog with crap to get it.
I’m not going to put a banner where my about me is supposed to be because someone will pay me a few bucks. I may be willing to put a banner on my sidebar, below all my stuff, if I feel it works.
All that being said, I was inspired to quickly put together a cute Media Kit. It doesn’t have much, but that’s ok. It works for me and what my goals as a blogger are.
If you are a good friend of mine and want me to put together one like mine for you, let me know. If you have photoshop, I can send the template I made to you. My media kit was inspired by this one from The Truth About Motherhood.
My Media Kit
Your media kit is adorable. Great job. I’ve monetized each of my blogs and have one media kit that covers all three. You’re smart to be prepared just in case something comes along that you wouldn’t mind promoting and then you can decide then if you want to charge or just do the promotion for fun.

This awesome! Thanks for the info. I am newer to the business side as I, like you, am all about blogging for fun. But I have been trying to “grow up” a little and I am very inspired by your kit. Yay!

I’ll get it out to you sometimes this week. 🙂
I love your media kit! I’ve been looking for something simple like that for quite some time, just in case I’m ever asked. Pretty please email me the template. 🙂
