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!!!
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?
@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!

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.

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?
@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 π

We donβt test on animals and are certified cruelty-free by PETA. We hope that this will inspire others in the industry to become certified cruelty-free brands, too π Real beauty is cruelty-free

@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 π
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 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.
