    Blogging is hard work but I love it. Sharing my work has been such a buzz and makes me smile when people like something. I have a question though…..what kinda numbers are brands looking for in terms of readership for it to be worth their while? Mel xx #alittlebitofeverything

    • Me too, its a great feeling 🙂 I think it depends on the brand – some want 10,000+ unique readers and a huge Twitter following, other like a smaller following but more interaction. Honestly, I would say if you have found a brand you want to work with, send them an email you've got nothing to loose and might gain a lot! x

    Great post and fab tips. Although I use wordpress and I'm not tech savy. I haven't had to write code and I use a free theme. Hopefully I won't ever need to be tech savy, because I'll be in a whole heap of trouble! #TheList

    Again this is a #BrilliantBlogPosts it's really well written and very informative. I suppose the only thing I'd add, as a wordpress user, is it's not really that tech demanding, especially if you're not self hosted but does require patients to fiddle about with plugins and widgets (i thought the widget came in a beer can before I started blogging lol)

    • Thank you 🙂 I think I may have misunderstood WordPress slightly, perhaps its not as complicated as I was lead to believe, but I still think it would be out of my league! And yes I still see a beer widget every time I read about them 🙂
