I never think going to an event warrants coverage or a post of what you got in the goody bag - although that's obviously what they want - I will usually try and include it in something if I can but I've never been chased up by a PR after an event regarding a post. xLaura Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16574534495317600347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459860786742920604.post-14616531219018111042017-05-08T08:43:21.481+01:002017-05-08T08:43:21.481+01:00This is such a good post.

I barely started blogging a month ago and had some brands contact me to write for their blog and there was no mention of pay for the number of articles they asked me to produce weekly! It's nice to know and learn about these things before the situation presents itself.

I never really thought about it, but you're right! If there are certain expectations that mean it will be more work than anything, it's something to discuss with the PR people maybe. I do think with most events, a lot goes into them though (or I've been lucky so far!).

I make sure it fits in with my work schedule, look at it as a fab opportunity to learn more about the brand and make contacts then write up a post as a 'taster' of my work.

I think so many bloggers get taken advantage of these days, and sometimes it can even come across as a bit of a joke if you ever ask if there is any budget available for a project.
