Some people love to blog because it’s their passion to share their experiences on their respective blogs. There are a lot of niche to choose from.
It’s okay to enjoy the freebies but you must limit yourself bragging it. Companies might think you’re a freeloader. We don’t need freeloaders in attending events. First impression lasts.

Companies and PR firms depends on the stats of your social media accounts.
