Woahhh so much interest!
Thank you to everyone who has messaged regarding the PR list. Unfortunately I am temporarily closing requests as there is a LOT to put in the system, but I cannot wait to get sharing upcoming opportunities!!!

Am I viral now

Personal opinion:
I feel like if you're not looking for a blogger, you shouldn't use #BloggersWanted or #PRrequest - These tags are for brands who are looking for people like you and you shouldn't spam the feed with irrelevant content.
Does anyone else feel this way?

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

Question to my fellow freelance #copywriters (if you are okay with my asking): How much would you generally charge for a single blog post?

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

@EVEcopywriting Page not found :(

@CarolanneKate I wasn't going to write another blog post until my full website (wordpress-free) was up and running, but I feel like this REALLY needs addressing!

@CarolanneKate It shocks me that so many people agree, yet so many others continue to do it!

@Pablo_HerasP Honey I'm just far too broke 😂 one day though!

Any other freelance copywriters determined to organically gain clients instead of using PPC? Being new to the freelance life, I'm refusing to spend more than I can afford until I know the time is right.

FRIDAY:
I found myself surprised to see such a huge response to my PR request tweet!Thinking about doing a Friday chat to discuss blogger peeves? Would anyone fancy it?

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

@marie_connect It's like they expect us to work below minimum wage because it's one piece of content and forget the fact that it will probably take us a good 4 hours to complete if they want the job done right 😂

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

When you're working a deal with a potential client and they stop responding the as soon as you tell them your (fairly cheap) rates.

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

@resumex88 It says "job not found", but I'd like to know more please!

Don't be fooled people. They still sell to China. They basically let others do the dirty work for them.

@EmmaLouiseBetty My point is that these kinds of hashtags should be used in tweets by brands and PR so that bloggers and others in similar industries can find opportunities, not for bloggers to use to get views 😕

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

@UpYourVlog They will only make themselves look bad I guess!

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

@EmaJoyC Agreed!

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

I mean, I say this nicely, but a brand is not going to feel honoured to be features on your blog. It will more likely be the other way around, so advertising yourself like it's a wonderful opportunity for a business that is doing very well is actually rather silly.

@whatlyddid I find bloggers for clients and I try to find brands for my personal blog. These hashtags should not be a way to hunt for a needle in a haystack, it should be for brands to reach out and present opportunities 😩

[LaceySocial @LaceySocial]

@whatlyddid Exactly! I understand that it is difficult to get brands to want to send you stuff for good content, but I truly believe that if your content is GENUINELY worth reading, and your engagement proves it, then you wouldn't feel the need to spam the hashtag.
