Notes de l'éditeur
- In the Powder Room launched in 2011 – the siren child of Powder Room Graffitti and MumsRock. At its heart it’s an editorial site full of fabulous content written by our regular columnists - a mixture of British and American voices who we think encapsulate the funnier, drier sides of life as a woman on the right side of 30. They are feisty, filthy and anything but apologetic and two of them (Iris and Liz Dawes) made the top 25 funniest mom blogs this year. One of the things we're extremely passionate about In The Powder Room, for anyone who doesn't already know, is me-time, or rather us-time since sharing the joy of wine o'clock has come to mean a special kind of wonderful and...oh, look is that the time... Gigi and Paula check watches...you know I think it is actually... Crack open the wine - get one person from each row to come and get a bottle and hand out stacks of plastic glasses........................................ Play music...9 to 5? I’m every woman/ While everyone gets a drink.
- We're going to talk today about social commerce and what's in it for you- which really is all about making money out of being social.And we’ll be finishing up with a little Vagingo…… (and there's a prize worth over a £100 to win - Gigi/Paula to demonstrate)...
- We’re already surrounded by social commerce. We all buy stuff occasionally that we see on blogs, we may even blog about stuff we want to buy, have bought or wish we had the cash to buy. And occasionally even our friends and followers spend money based on these posts, shares, tweets and updatesThus far we’ve not seen a viable social commerce model whereby the influencer (that’s you bloggers!) get rewarded with an actual cut of the sales. No discounts, no free gift, no limited offer only, and no measly 3-7% affiliate deal on products you don’t even like.(PAD OUT and check for duplication with later slides)
- Why is social commerce important for bloggers?We at ITPR see social commerce as being very much part of the future of monetizing your blog……..To back up our instinct about this we looked to the USThis Blogher study conducted in 2012 looks at women’s social media habits in, focusing on the commercial advantages to be gained for and by bloggers.
- What they found in a survey of over 2000 bloggers wasn’t surprising - They found first of all the bloggers trust other bloggers, which of course we already know.
- Which might be surprising…..
- 87% of the 2000+ surveyed said that they have purchased based on a blog recommendation…..Again not surprising, because we know that most bloggers have integrity and that they blog honestly about the things they love,
- We’re all looking for authenticity – credible, peer group recommendations what we can all believe in.And that blogs form the basis of this influence….
- As a blogger you know you’ve got influence and that big brands are looking to leverage that influence.What you don’t necessarily have in that relationship is a great deal of power or control….. You’ll be sent a product to review, or you’ll be paid for a sponsored post, and let’s be honest it’s not often going to something that you genuinely covet
- Personal sales forceYou retain control and ownership of your blog…….
