when i took up my blog last year i thought all i needed was a device connected to the internet fast forward i have come to realise blogging involves marekting,production,economics and much more which means quit a number of resources are needed and for my first post in 2021 am sharing my must haves as a small blogger( hope you save or pin this on pintrest). 1. a ringlight just like i said blogging involves alot amd a ringlight according to me is a good investmentreason being it can be used for live broadcasts ( as a blogger its important you have an instagram or pintrest account. a ringlight is also great at providing light when shouting content. lucky for you i made some research and got you a cost efficient one here. 2. phone tripod if your a cost friendly blogger like me your phone must be doubling as your camera so having a small,portable trpod ( it can literally fit in your bag) is a good investment.grab one right here 3. backdrop getting a cool background for pictures is a full time job like am not even joking here.thats why if you can get one cool backdrop and use it for most of your pics its not only time saving bit also gives your blig and feed an aesthetic feel. check out these. 4.for one of the tricks..get a professional 📫.i know we all have those emails we opened up in highschool that we used to subscribe to all these sites ,magazines and all nlw that wont do get a cute short email for just your business(blog). 5. mail chimp for newsletters mailchimp is not only free but also easy to use..so for my people lookedng for software to ise to collect and build newsletters its a gogo. 6. a tripod. honestly this one will help alot with recoding and shooting pics grab one here. 7. canva app this app (i cant stress this enough) is very helpful when it comes to making posters,blog covers ,thumbnailsand photo edits all for free. 8. inshot if your interested in video then inshot is the best andriod way to go .ita free vwrsion offers just enough resources for any influencer . 9.imovie this is inshot but for the ios users 10. lightroom this is cool for those producing pictures with the same feel,hue and filter ( i will be sharing where i get free lightroom presets in my blogger and content creator course so watch out ). . disclaimer: some of the posts are affiliated,this post is not sponsored, all views are my own. sorry for catfishing you with the 21 💃💃 am so excited more to be shared in my blogger course. until then its collin.. wear your mask.

If someone  told me three years ago that a company from usa would like to collaborate with me or i was getting invited to grand openings of restaurants and pop up stores i would have laughed at them.. honestly... i began blogging as a joke all i wanted was to pass time and all three years later its my actual job ( enough with the bragging , collin lets get into how i make money blogging as a teenager ).

When i started blogging in 2018 it was more like a hobby to me. I was an idle kid that watched lots of reality tv and admired all these beauty's that were coming up with products every now and then ( the kardaashians yes) and i launched martson magazine with my bro just so i could post " there is a new article" every week on my stories two years later my brother has launched his own food blog and youtube channel ( this was started in quarantine ) but he has had over 5 brand collaborations, i launched the mbabazi post ( this right here) and i have managed to secure a few invitations , news features, collaborations and of course exposure.  What started as a hobbie turned into a business for me and my young brother  ( did i mention i have a youtube channel ) . And now we want to share some of our experience  and small knowledge we have gathered as teen content creators, what you need, what to expect and how to execute what you dream of as a blogger, content creator and influencerso mid 2021 our micro blogger or influencer course will go live for a $10.

Now though i would love to review their amazing rolexes ( they have 15 different kinds you guy ) kelly has you on that part on his blog So let me keep it sexy with what i know best reviewing the ambiance of the hub... First off i came to know of rolex guy about a year ago i was from an 8 hour flight and i was craving all kinds of oliys when its signpost caught the corner of my eye , unfortunately it was 12 in the morning and it was closed.. long story short one year after am home bored of all the ordinary places around entebbe ( my home town ) and i remember the cool sign post..so i get my brother kelly we ( the food blogger ) and we head down to the location. Ok i exaggerate not...the place is a work of art.. have you been to a restaurant that is also a museum ,a library, garden and crafts store at the same time? No because you have never been to the rolex guy ug . So being the blogger and instagram content creator that i am i had to take a few notes ,pictures and of course video to brag about the ambiance on my instagram.. now while you can find the whole video youtube channel Below are some reasons as to why you should visit the rolex guy ug. 1. The rolexes i want to expand more on the amazing 15 different rolex recipes they have but kelly has you covered on that.. 2. The cycling services, after your done having your rolex ,smoothie or milkshake ( yes they have those two ) you can request for a ride (guided ) around the amazing entebbe. 3.the mini library, did i mention you can catch up on the latest copy of harry poter for no extra cost. 4. The mini garden (now listen and listen good ) plants are everything and imagine having brunch while your surrounded by amazing plants...( yes its real ) 5. The soothing music, can't explain how music came to be but when its being played while you have your rolex at the rolex guy ug..you may get some answers that stuff they play is gold. 6. The artistic ambiance, guys everything ( like you will see here ) is made with such craftsmanship you will gag.. did i mention everything was recycled. ..😢. 7.the locations... the one in entebbe is located in entebbe town opposite umeme gate, and the Kampala branch ( which is still new ) is located opposite mini village mall /kingstate mall ( call them on +256779401348 ). So ya its an amazing place to throw your party ( with minimum guests )and also if you need a new place to you know just hang.. Tell me what you think about it?

Sharing is caring so today ama share with my fellow content creators and influencers the does and donts of pitching to brands especially if your btn 1k-10k. Now most people think blogging or being an influencer is a walk in the pack. I mean what could be hard about taking pictures and posting them for cash one person asked me. But the truth is alot comes with content creating from possessing a good camera,a reputable instagram feed,cool blog or youtube channel to amazing lavish lifestyle ( which are not real most of the time because they take up 1/3 of life ) but somehow some of us have done it yiu have. Blog or youtube channel, an amazing ig feed with a decent following and now you want to rep from it well why shouldn't you... but how are you doing it.. First lets go around the do' s and what to expect 1. Always leave your email or contact on your instagram which makes it easy for brands to locate you. 2. If an influencer you follow works with a brand picth to it because its already on board with influencer marketing 3. Dont look like a desperate kid looking for freebies ( even when you are 😂) 4. Always join an influencer agency ( i love fohr.com ) 5. Have a press kit and know your worth What not to do.. (tah tah tah......) was that dramatic? No ok 1. Never picth to brands not relatable to your audience if your a food blogger dont endorse hair gel. 2. Always try to purchase the product and have first hand information about the item so that u prove your loyalty to the brand. 3. Pitch to many brands as possible and try to aim at long term relationships 4. Never give up . Hope these help out for more info on where to find brands to pitch to and how to pitch please check out my youtube Xoxo Collin
