In simple words, A Media kit is your professional Resume. As an Influencer or a blogger, you have to show your work and expertise to brands.

A Media kit is a necessary part of any Blog business. If you want to work with potential brands, A Media kit is a must-have.

The purpose of a Media kit is to showcase your followers, audience, Statics, demographics, and how you can help brands. It is a simple snapshot of your online presence and achievements.

Having a Media kit ready will prove to you how professional you are in your field. A media kit shows that you are prepared, focused, and an experienced Blogger/Influencer.  

Generally, a media kit has 1-3+ pages but you can make it as per your experience. A 2 page media kit is ideal.

Suppose, you want to work with a brand and you just mail them your name, social handle or some links, follower count, and your top posts. Is this what a brand wants to see from an Influencer? The answer is NO! This is not enough. The brand will consider you unprofessional and will lose interest in working with you.

And on the other hand, you are emailing a brand with a proper media kit attachment that includes everything that the brand wants to hear from you. This will include not just a follower count but your engagement rate also.

This will show the demographics and all the details about your business. This will also include how can you help the brand by working together, and what you can offer to the brand. 

In this way, you are setting a clear and transparent image for the brand. No mess, No confusion. Just a resume that is describing all about your business. From your name to your rates. Almost Everything!

Having a media kit will set you apart from regular, unprofessional bloggers and influencers. A media kit will land you many paid opportunities from your favorite brands.

I will share what should a media kit include for Bloggers and Influencers Both. Below is the Basic to Advanced things that you should include in your Media Kit to make it look perfect – 

1. Blog logo

A blog logo is an essential element to include in your Media Kit. It shows your brand identity. It will indirectly tell them that you are serious about your blog and you are treating it like a business, not just a hobby. 

If you are making a Media Kit as an influencer, you can add your profile picture in a framed visual format. 

Also do not worry if you do not have a logo for your blog. You can just simply add your blog name on the header of your media kit. 

You can also include your blog URL and your social media username too.

2. A clear photo of yours

Brands want to know who they are working with. Show them who is behind this amazing blog. They definitely would love to see the owner of the blog. This will build trust between you and the brand. Make sure the picture is clear and professional. 

3. About you

Now the picture is not enough. You have to tell them something about yourself. A little introduction would be great. It should include:

• Your Name
• Your Country/Location
• Your skillsets and experience in this industry
• What is your vision for making this blog?
• What problem are you solving from your blog?
• Fun facts about you

You can add anything else according to your preferences.

4. About the blog

In this section, you will introduce your business to the brands. This section of your media kit should include:

• Your blog’s mission
• When it was created/the story
• Awards and achievements
• What topic it covers
• How this blog is helping others
• How this blog can help brands

This is a required section that you must add to your media kit. If you are making a media kit as a social media influencer then just replace ‘Blog’ with ‘Account’.

5. Blog states

This is the section of your media kit where brands are more focused. This is definitely a required section.

Here is what to include in your blog states section-

• Unique monthly visitors
• Monthly page views
• Domain authority
• Email subscribers
• Social media followers
• Pinterest monthly views
• Top performing content

You can get this all data from google analytics for your blog. If you want to include states for your Instagram you can get the data from your Instagram account’s insight.

6. About the audience

Let the brands know what kind of audience your blog has. This should include age, gender, interests, and location.

7. Partnership opportunities

Now, this is the section where you will show what services you offer as a blogger and influencer.

There are many services to offer as a blogger. Here are some of them –

• Sponsored posts
• Social media share
• Content creation for brand
• Banner advertising
• Brand ambassador partnership
• Product shoot for brands
• Product review
• Shout out on social media

You can add any other services as well.

8. Brands you have worked with

If you ever worked with any brand before, you can add them in this section. This is just an optional section. It is okay if you just starting out. Everybody starts from somewhere right?

9. Contact info

Now include a basic call to action in your media kit. This will help the brand to find you. You can add your email address, Instagram profile, Twitter profile, and any other social media accounts you have.

10. Your rates

This is quite a 50-50 kind of thing. Some bloggers do not mention their rates when some do. I personally do not recommend mentioning your rates. You can offer rates to the brand after knowing its budget and requirements.

As promised, here is your free media kit template –
