I don’t do sponsored posts extremely commonly anymore. I utilized to compose two or more sponsored posts per month, charging about $500 per post. It was a nice earnings however it did take a great deal of time.
The primary reason I stopped composing sponsored posts is since I’m now a co-owner of the dog products company, Mighty Paw. The business was a sponsor of That Mutt for a few years, so you never understand what can happen!

9. What modifications in blogging do you see coming in 2020 as well as beyond?
It’s harder as well as harder to keep people’s attention. My blog is extremely much geared towards “one time” visitors who are searching for concerns about their dogs. So, great client service as well as being genuine is important for convincing somebody to really return to my blog.
For example, really responding to comments as well as emails as well as being appreciative if somebody decides to indication up for my email list.
There is so much “fluff”/bullshit material available that if I can produce something genuine as well ashelpful, people do notice that.
Video is obviously continuing to grow, however I will likely continue composing as that is what I enjoy.
