Kursus ini bagus banget buat yang baru mulai ngeblog dan mau dapat sponsor pertama. Bagian soal cara mendekati brand terasa paling berguna buat saya. Cuma bagian monetisasi lewat iklan agak singkat, pengen dibahas lebih dalam.

ก่อนเรียนผมเขียนบล็อกไปเรื่อยๆ โดยไม่รู้เลยว่าจะหารายได้ยังไง คอร์สนี้อธิบายตั้งแต่การสร้างฐานผู้อ่านไปจนถึงการติดต่อขอสปอนเซอร์สินค้าได้ชัดเจนมาก ส่วนที่ผมชอบที่สุดคือวิธีนำเสนอตัวเองให้แบรนด์สนใจ ทำให้ผมกล้าส่งอีเมลไปหาแบรนด์เป็นครั้งแรก อยากให้มีตัวอย่างเรตค่าตอบแทนมากกว่านี้สักหน่อย แต่โดยรวมคุ้มค่ามากและแนะนำสำหรับมือใหม่ครับ

Ce cours explique très bien comment un blogueur débutant peut construire une audience avant même de chercher des sponsors. J'ai particulièrement aimé la partie sur la manière d'aborder les marques sans paraître désespéré. Deux semaines après avoir suivi les conseils, j'ai eu ma première réponse positive.

Понятно объяснили, как новичку набрать аудиторию и выйти на спонсоров, не хватило только примеров писем брендам.

Practical tips, a bit US-focused.

Als Anfängerin im Blogging wusste ich überhaupt nicht, wie ich an Sponsoring herankommen soll, und dieser Kurs hat das komplett verändert. Angefangen bei den ersten Schritten zum Aufbau einer echten Leserschaft bis hin zur konkreten Ansprache von Marken wird alles nachvollziehbar erklärt. Besonders die Beispiele für Anschreiben an Unternehmen fand ich extrem praktisch, weil ich sie fast eins zu eins übernehmen konnte. Auch die verschiedenen Monetarisierungswege abseits von klassischer Werbung waren mir vorher gar nicht bewusst. Mein Blog ist noch klein, aber ich habe schon zwei Anfragen für kleine Kooperationen bekommen, seit ich das Gelernte umgesetzt habe.

Solid breakdown of how to actually pitch brands instead of just waiting for them to notice your blog. The monetization section covers more than just ads, which I appreciated. Wish it went deeper into pricing sponsored posts though.

Guter Überblick darüber, wie man als kleiner Blog überhaupt für Sponsoring interessant wird. Die Tipps zur Monetarisierung waren hilfreich, auch wenn manche Beispiele eher für größere Blogs mit viel Traffic gedacht waren. Trotzdem konnte ich einiges direkt übernehmen.
