Are you an established blogger, who has been writing for a while and has a good collection of posts already on your site? Have you focused in on your niche or are you just asking everyone?
If you're established, and have plenty of posts already on your site, and can give good stats for visitors etc then contacting the pr people at companies is the way to go, or pr agencies themselves.
If you're not, then you'll struggle to get things I'm sorry to say.
But don't blog to get free things, blog because you want to write & then anything you do receive will just be a nice bonus.Anchor yourself to the foundations of everything you love.
Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:0 -

Although it may look easy for bloggers to get a load of freebies, it really isn't that simple.
I would say if you have a blog then concentrate on producing helpful content on a regular and consistent basis. Talk/write about brands who you'd like to work with and forward them a link to the content. Connect with them on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook and start to build a relationship.
Make sure the brands you want to work with fit with the readers of your blog. Only then perhaps approach companies about reviewing products.
If you just email them requesting stuff to review without providing any benefits or having any type of relationship with them, you really won't get very far.
A few years ago companies were sending products to bloggers regardless of their site, traffic or demographic. This has changed and PRs as well as the brands themselves are a lot more engaged with the blogosphere.Professional Blogger | Money Saver | Money Maker0
