If you hear any more nay sayers saying that blogging is just a phase and that it will soon go away, tell them to think again. Big Name companies have taken notice of the influence of bloggers and have started tapping the market. You’d realize this if you’ve been paying attentions. Mommy blogs, or blogs run by moms, no matter what the topic, especially, have been posting more products that they have received as samples and they review them on their blogs. This blog is one of those. I have received offers from several companies and PR firms to have them send me samples and I can write what I want about them.
Now I don’t get as many as some mommy bloggers nor have I gotten anything major, but they’ve started to trickle in. I’ve heard of at least a couple mom bloggers, for instance, who have received cars to test drive and review on their blogs. Us lesser fish though don’t get the sweet deals yet, and there are many out there. There are a plethora of products to choose from; from cosmetics, to the best diet pills, to a variety of snacks, not to mention a ton of gadgets and other technology stuff.
If this is something that you’re interested in getting into, then now is the time to take advantage of these opportunities. There is word that even the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has taken notice and may soon start regulating the reviews published on blogs.
