A manufacturer Contacted me, Now what?
Hi, I am happy to announce that thanks to all WA training I am doing GREAT! But, now a important manufacturer in my niche contacted me and asked me to guest blog or do reviews on their products or any kind of colaboration with them.........
Now what to do? How to handle this fantastic opportunity? Anybody? How did you deal with such an invitation? How did you handle the "negociation", did you charge anything? Blogged for free?
I could surely use some advice! ! Please....
Thanks for your time,
Marian

I assume you did GO FOR IT. Guest blogging has so many upsides. What kind of agreement did you end up with? Has it been a worthwhile use of your time?
I am glad you are contacted with the manufacturer. You can stand a chance to review their product and give your own opinion.
I would suggest also you start branding your product through them.

What a wonderful opportunity! I say go for it even for the experience alone. We always learn something from doing, you can then have those tricks in your bag for the next time you are asked to be a guest, or even invite guests to your blog. I have never been offered this but have been asked to guest teach a computer course. I never regretted saying yes. Even when I was not paid. I learned so much from the current professor as well as they did from me. We usually became life long collaborators that I could work with and bounce my future ideas off.
Also please share with us what you learn. You might become our resident expert.
Hey Marian, I dug this out of the basement you might say.
How to Become a Guest Blogger on Other Blogs and the Benefits
If you are looking to learn how to become a guest blogger on other blogs, then you know that it is something that will truly help with your internet marketing goals.
Being able to guest blog is simply just making a post on someone else's blog and basically reaching out to his or her readers.
This is incredibly helpful because you are able to network to more people and this drives more traffic to your blog.
In order to guest blog, all you really need to do is make connections. Networking is the one thing that will really help you out when it comes to internet marketing.
Though you may not be an avid blogger, this is a great way to get to know more people and these are connections that can prove to be valuable in the future.
It is a good idea to choose bloggers that have more readers than you and readers that might like your style of writing. It will not make sense for you to guest blog for a topic that you know nothing about.
Being able to guest blog has many benefits but the main one is getting backlinks. Depending on how big the bloggers website is, it can be a great way to get more exposure and to really gain more readers.
A lot of bloggers will admit that they get most of their followers from guest blogging and so you should take the opportunity every time it comes.
Though you might think it is a little scary to blog on another person's site, it is actually very fun and it is something that most bloggers do. You can then return the favor and have that blogger guest blog on your site as well.
This is a great way to make friends and to explore more about the blogging world.
Enjoy the and go for the gusto! This is a win win situation for the to party at the table.
Thanks for your comment. It gave me a little bit more confidence:) I will think about what kind of post content would appeal to their audience and then contact the manufacturer with a proposal:) Thanks again!

Definitely! Ask them if they budgeted anything for the partnership. Also find out online if they have an affiliate program.
Hi Kenester,
Sadlu, they don´t have an affiliate program. That is the main reason why I am asking how to handle this. I am working on a few ideas which I will propose to the manufacturer. I hope things work out well. Wish me luck:)
Congratulations As you say it is a fantastic opportunity to brand yourself and get eyes on whatever you are promoting I wouldn't worry about getting paid for the blogs but it might be an idea just to ask them what their terms are.

Marian, first of all, never turn down an opportunity. You will never know where it might lead you. Do Q&A to see what you can and can't do. Always make it to your advantage, you would not like someone else profit off you good fortune.
