Hey guys! Happy Hump Day! I recently heard about a new website (well, new to me) called Brand Backer, and it seems really cool! It’s a site for bloggers and brands to connect so brands can get their products some exposure and bloggers can try out the products and write about them. You can sign up for free, and once the company has verified that you are a blog owner, you get accepted.
There are a handful of opportunities up right now, and I believe they’re updated every few days or so. Once you read about an opportunity (which is sort of like a quick review of the products different brands want bloggers to write about), you request to participate. The brands then choose bloggers from those who requested to participate, and only the chosen bloggers get the samples, or whatever the case may be, to write about on their blogs.
If I ever get chosen to participate in an opportunity and I write about it here on my blog, I’ll be sure to specify that I did not purchase the products myself and I’ll mention the brand that sent them to me. I’m not sure how beneficial this will be in the long run, so I’m just gonna try it for a while and if I’m not liking the services or just the site in general, I’ll stop. I just thought it’d be fun to try out different products I may not be able to get where I live, but if it doesn’t work out for one reason or another, I’ll keep you guys updated so you know where I stand.
Have any of you guys used the Brand Backer site before? What was your experience? Are there any other sites out there like this that you like?
