Rafflecopter Bloggers… Meet Advertisers :)

Rafflecopter wants to connect PR-friendly bloggers with advertisers, and we’re looking for folks interested in working with us!

When the idea of Rafflecopter came into existence, we contacted hundreds of bloggers looking to learn more about how we could make a solution that would help streamline your giveaway process. Five months later, Rafflecopter’s giveaway application continues to be improved upon in private beta.

But the process of running giveaways on your blog doesn’t stop there. If you’re a PR-friendly blogger, you already know that a lot of work goes into finding companies and products, maintaining these relationships, and making sure the brands you work with resonate with you and your readers.

Have you ever been approached by a brand that tried to get you to review an iPhone application even though you hate everything Apple? What about a company trying to get you to review lawn darts, even though you specifically said family friendly products only? What about companies that sponsor giveaways, but then flake on delivering the product to the winner? We’ve seen it too, and it makes us unhappy :(

As a blogger, you want to boost your readership, increase your following, and introduce new products to you and your readers in a fun and exciting way. Advertisers have been contacting us asking to be introduced to those using Rafflecopter. We want to help, but only if it’s done tastefully and in a way that benefits all parties involved.

We have some ideas on how Rafflecopter can introduce bloggers to advertisers, but we want to include you in the conversation. We want to extend an invitation to PR-friendly bloggers who currently use Rafflecopter to an email list that will act as a means of communication for an alpha program of our advertiser platform. If you are interested in participating and don’t have an invite, send Greg a short note at greg@rafflecopter.com.

You can sign up on the email list below. We’ll send out a message during the next week to describe the process of how we’re going upon doing this and how you can help. If you like what you hear, we’d love to work with you!

Thanks so much for all your continued support. We’re looking forward to seeing how we can help you!

  • Thank you..:)

  • Lori

    Sounds great

  • What a great idea!  Personally, just off the top of my head, if we create profiles to be matched up with I would rather see a checklist of things that our blog covers.  I know quite a few bloggers, myself included, that blog about a variety of topics and it’s hard to put our blog in just one category.

    • Rachel at Rachel’s Giveaways

      I agree.  I know many advertisers are looking for a niche blog, but most of us cover a variety of topics.  A checklist is a good idea.

    • Completely agree – thanks for the input, Tamara. This is something we’ll think about.

    • I agree with Tamara! I have a personal blog, but I talk about all sorts of things, from pregnancy/parenting to products I like, do giveaways, frugal living, pets, crafting and books! It’s hard to go into just one category!

  • Sounds exciting!  I look forward to hearing more. :D

  • What a great idea, I hope it’s as good as it sounds, I am a member of Business to Blogger, and have only been picked by one comapny…so i would love to see something that helped out more :)

  • Cherry Blossoms

    This is wonderful! I am so excited to be part of this!

  • This is great! Keep up the good work Rafflecopter!

  • Kerri Jablonski

    What an awesome idea. Fabulous!

  • What a terrific idea! Companies that promise giveaway product and then fail to deliver them to winners has been a big problem for me, so this resonates with me!

  • sounds awesome! cant wait!

  • Doreen

    This sounds sooo nice! Would love the extra help, thanks!!

  • Awesome idea! Can’t wait for this to happen!

  • Debrasdollars

    What a wonderful idea! I am excited to be a part of this.

  • Ola Jaggers

    I’m so excited about this.  I’m a new blogger & just getting started,
    but I hope to be able to connect with other bloggers & businesses.

    ~Ola

  • This sounds great! I’m not exactly sure how it’d work for my blog but I’m very interested to see where this goes! Thanks for all your hard work.

  • Great idea!  Wishing us all the best of success!

  • This would be amazing! I just switched from a Blogger blog to my own domain name and this would be a fantastic thing! Thank you!! (old email Theboysmamareviews@hotmail.com is what I use to login at rafflecopter) :)

  • the raffle part is interesting but the part I am most interested in is the bringing companies and bloggers together.  Right now for me this is a hit and miss process most of which comes from my own footwork.  If there is a marketplace for bloggers to meet companies that would be an excellent resource that I very much want to be a part of!

  • goodstewardsavers

    This is very nice.  I just got back into the blogging world after a few years break. I look forward to keep meeting other blogger and taking part in this opportunity.

    I think the rafflecopter program is a super way to connect bloggers and companies….only one suggestion is there any way our blog info can be save  so when we sign in our email, blog name ,website is all there and we just fill out why we’d be good for the company etc…..

  • This is great! Thank you so much!

    I love your form for giveaways! I have been using them for a couple of months to enter giveaways & they are soooo much easier than the old standard way. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a part of Rafflecopter! And I too don’t really follow a set genre blogging. I just blog about anything that pops into my head!

  • What an exciting adventure!

    Thank You For The great idea and the opportunity that you are sharing with all of us! I think that there should be a type of form created so that the categories that we discuss, the format.medium/the social media outlets that we are connected to are all included so that the right opportunities are connected with the right bloggers and from there it will grow by leaps and bounds!
