Opinion on Vloggers/Bloggers/Influencers...

[Mr. Dazzle]

Who've you asked ? and how ?

Yeah that's a fair point. She's split between stuff she's been contacted about and "ambassador roles" she's applied for.

TBF e-marketing is her day job, for a huge website you've definitely heard of, so she knows which phrases to use, what times to post etc. to maximise engagement.

What am I doing wrong?

Almost 6500 followers on FB and I have been sent precisely one freebie which I duly reviewed!

Everything else I test, I have paid for.

In my distant past I had a very small following on a forum but the owner of a (push)bike company was one of them. He saw I was breaking all of their kit and gave me loads of stuff free or at a huge discount so I could test it and tell everyone what great R&D they were doing.

Just got to find the right audience.

Who've you asked ? and how ?

Ah, that's my weak point. I am rubbish at self-promotion.

I have managed to get a couple of free ads out of MAG - I've only been writing their bike safety column since 2002.

Some lad from the village has mad a couple of million from Youtubing, 'shed' stuff whatever that is.

I said: Is that one of them iPhones, give it here [crunch].

I've never been one for the NDWiIT'ery.
