\"what<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the money?<\/p>\n

As a creative entrepreneur-graphic designer, blogger, photographer-you\u2019re always searching for ways to earn more revenue with your talents. To attract more sponsors, try creating a media kit.<\/p>\n

'The media kit is a great tool because it essentially gives [brands] all the information they could possibly need in one easy-to-navigate document while often cutting our correspondence time in half because it\u2019s already answered most of their questions,'\u009d writes Shauna Haider<\/a>, a creative director, entrepreneur, and blogger.<\/p>\n

Be proactive about making more money. Tell brands and sponsors you exist with an impressive media kit. Here are five things you should include.<\/p>\n

\"HostGator<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Who Are You<\/h2>\n

Similar to starting any new relationship, it\u2019s important to tell people who you are. Giving potential brands a brief introduction makes a good first impression.<\/p>\n

But what should you say? You can tell brands how you got started as a creative entrepreneur or what people and things inspire your passion.<\/p>\n

Depending on your industry, make an effort to get personal. You might want to mention your family values or your latest backpacking trip.<\/p>\n

State the why<\/em> behind your business to sponsors. Why do you photograph in nature? Or why do you only write children\u2019s novels?<\/p>\n

Tell those stories that can’t be found in a press release or bio. These unique qualities will differentiate you from competitors and sparks people\u2019s curiosity to learn more about you.<\/p>\n

In the image below, Dani Ryan from Cloudy, With a Chance of Wine<\/a> talks about her story from a corporate job to becoming a stay-at-home mom. She also highlights her purpose and hopes for the future.<\/p>\n

\"Dani<\/p>\n

This section of your media kit centers around making a human connection with brand executives. You want them to feel comfortable picking up the phone to talk to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What You Do<\/h2>\n

Now, that you\u2019ve grabbed the sponsors\u2019 attention. It\u2019s time to hook them with more details about what you actually do.<\/p>\n

For some creative entrepreneurs, this section is a challenge. It\u2019s easy to just say: I write or I paint. However, that\u2019s not enough information for brands to invest in your work.<\/p>\n

Explain your process for developing your craft. How long does it take to create your artwork? Or what precious metals do you use when making jewelry? All these details give sponsors an inside perspective around your profession and your dedication.<\/p>\n

Also you need to persuade brands to do business with you. This is where you will focus on coupling your talent with value.<\/p>\n

'Your media kit is something you use to sell your product or service. So it\u2019s crucial that you can convince a client that you have something useful or relevant to their brand. Your primary goal is to lead them to the realization that they\u2019ll become a better brand with your help,'\u009d says Pauline Cabrera<\/a>, a web designer and social media manager.<\/p>\n

There are millions of creative entrepreneurs doing what you do. By expressing your unique value, you can separate yourself from the crowd.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Services & Rates<\/h2>\n

After laying out what you do, let\u2019s move to packaging your services and stating your rates.<\/p>\n

This is where some anxiety may flare up. Most creative entrepreneurs never intend to turn their talent into a business<\/a>. So they are confused (and sometimes frightened) to add a monetary value to their work.<\/p>\n

And that’s very noble of you. But working for free isn’t going to help you thrive as an entrepreneur. You will need to charge for your work.<\/p>\n

For starters, decide what type of services you will offer sponsors. Are you willing to give up space on your blog for advertisements? Will you welcome sponsors at your next art exhibition?<\/p>\n

Provide a list of specific services that will appeal to brands. They will want to know the demographics of your audience, the number of people you influence, and the return on investment for their companies.<\/p>\n

Then, take the time to price each service appropriately. Consider the current asking rate in the market and the value of your creative business. Avoid underpricing your work.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example from The Sweet Spot Blog<\/a>. The blogger explicitly states the price for all available ad space. You\u2019ll also notice the types of payment accepted.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

4. Social Proof<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not enough to say you\u2019re worth certain rates. To back up your value, you must show brands social proof that will encourage them to collaborate with you.<\/p>\n

Social proof gives external validation that your business attracts people\u2019s attention and motivates an audience to participate.<\/p>\n

So what type of social proof will impress sponsors? An effective strategy is to do research on what brands want from partnerships.<\/p>\n

Some companies may want to team up with you to become their spokesperson. Therefore, they may desire a creative entrepreneur with lots of national press in Forbes<\/em>, Inc<\/em>, and Fast Company<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Other brands may seek a business with a large, loyal fan base. They will be interested in learning the data behind your site traffic and email list.<\/p>\n

'It\u2019s important to demonstrate that your company is relevant and trendsetting. The best way to convey that is to show them your buzz. If you secure reprint rights, you can include digital copies of your media coverage-if not, provide links to the relevant webpages,'\u009d writes Suzanne Kearns<\/a>, a full-time freelance writer for 20 years.<\/p>\n

Social proof also alleviates a sponsor\u2019s potential risk of associating with your business. Hesitant brands will feel more comfortable if you\u2019re already doing deals with other major companies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Call to Action<\/h2>\n

By now, you\u2019ve dished out some pertinent information to your potential sponsor. They know who you are, what you do, and your rates-all solidified with social proof.<\/p>\n

Some creative entrepreneurs will stop at this point. They think the sponsors are well-informed to make their decision.<\/p>\n

While this may seem true, there\u2019s one last thing you must include in your media kit. And that\u2019s your call to action.<\/p>\n

Yes, you need to ask or tell the brand to purchase your services. Don\u2019t assume the brand executive will know what to do next.<\/p>\n

Just like a sales funnel for your customers, you must move the potential sponsor down an advertising journey. So give clear instructions on what you want them to do after reading your media kit.<\/p>\n

A call to action may include asking them to contact you during your office hours. Or you can direct them to an online scheduling tool like Calendly to set up an appointment.<\/p>\n

Take a few pointers from the call to action below from Carrie This Home<\/a>. Be open to learning more about brands and give them an opportunity to communicate with you.<\/p>\n

\"Carrie<\/p>\n

Whatever you choose as a call to action, make sure you follow up with the brand in a timely manner. Waiting too long to connect may cause them to lose interest in your business.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Attracting Brands With Media Kits<\/h2>\n

In the world of business, your creativity is only one part<\/a> of achieving success as an entrepreneur. To bring in sponsors, you must develop a media kit that speaks to their needs.<\/p>\n

From stating your purpose to adding a call to action, convey a compelling reason for brands to partner with you. So use your talents to create a worthwhile media kit to attract more sponsors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
