Create Sponsored Content

This sponsored content can be something that the brand crafts itself and you only have to publish/endorse it. Or sometimes, brands would ask you to create the content yourself.
Collaborate with other Bloggers and Brands
A lot of brands like to collaborate with bloggers to give them shout-outs or good reviews, and well you get paid as well. So it’s a ‘Win’ ‘Win’ Situation.

You can create a small video, you may create a video review, or you may write an article on affordable hair straighteners and add their straightener to the list as well. Compared to sponsored content, collaborative projects require much more planning, process, and set-up.
Sell Your Products
