Advertising, Sponsored Posts and Guest Posts
Among lighthearted personal posts there is a focus on activities for children, family food and recipes, gardening and parenting. I share insights, printables and resources with my readers and strive to create a strong sense of community.
Picklebums offers a limited number of sponsored opportunities, as well as social media shout outs, in content advertising and newsletter advertising.
Working with Picklebums will allow you to reach thousands of women who are already users of social media in a way that is meaningful to them. Picklebums can represent and share your brand with a loyal and engaged audience.
Picklebums is well suited to promote family friendly, child centred products as well as products related to printing, art and craft, and design, home and garden.
Items such as children’s clothing, books, educational toys, art and craft supplies, kitchen and home-wares, printers and printing supplies, and gardening related products all do well on Picklebums
Working With Picklebums
If your brand is a great fit for my audience we can work together in a variety of ways:
Sponsored Post
Content created by me and published on my blog, specifically for your brand that will engage my audience and share your message.
(a ‘sponsored post’ on picklebums is not a guest post, or content written by a brand or third party)
Native Advertising
An image with personally written text and a link at the end of content that is a great fit for your brand.
Newsletter Advertising
A banner image with text and a link at the end of my weekly email newsletter.
Social Media
Social media shout outs, including images, created to match your brand to my audience across a variety of platforms.
Content Creation
Well written articles (including images if needed) on topics such as parenting, early childhood education and development, tweens, crafts and more.
Consulting and Social Media Management
Do you need help setting up or running your blog, facebook page or pinterest account? I have 15+ years experience in social media and blogging to share.
Speaking
Engaging sessions for events/conferences about blogging, blog design, social media, parenting and more.
If you are interested in any of the above options, or you have another brilliant idea and would like to work with me, please email
Guest Posts
Please do not email asking to post your content on picklebums.
Picklebums DOES NOT publish branded ‘guest’ posts, or content written by third parties.
Since Picklebums is a personal blog I do not accept guest posts from brands or companies.
Picklebums only accepts guest posts from other content creators who we already have a relationship with and who align with our audience and values. I occasionally run guest posts from other bloggers or writers, and will put out a call on my facebook page or via relevant facebook groups when these opportunities arise – please do not email asking to guest post.
Link Requests
Please do not email asking for your link to be included on picklebums.
Picklebums does not publish random paid links in content, nor do we find links for roundups or related content from random emails.
We will NEVER include a link to your site in response to an email from someone we don’t already have a relationship with. If you wish to be considered for inclusion in any roundup posts, please seek to join the appropriate kid’s activity blogger niche facebook groups.
Charity Work
Picklebums chooses to support several charities.
I currently support Good Return and other charities and charity events, especially those relating to mothers and children, as they arise.
Please understand that I am simply not able to support every charity and good cause that contacts me.
