Make it your new favorite hobby to be a blog surfer.

When reading a great blog post, click on all the links, guest posts, etc. that will lead you to new, related blogs.

Each blog is like a tree, and if you dig deep enough, you can find a whole network of roots stretching out, leading you to a huge stockpile of potential blogs to work with. 

Check out who your friends follow.

You can find this out on their Facebook info page. You will find many gems this way.

Also, click on the articles that your friends post on Facebook...this is definitely a sign of good content, if their posts are being shared.

If there is a blog you really like and follow, check out their "likes" on Facebook.

This will lead to other great, related blogs.

While pinning that awesome idea, click on the photo to find out what awesome blog was the source of it!

If it is producing pinnable content, it is definitely worth checking out.

It is also likely that they will pin your product pics when you advertise with them.

Instagram is also a great place to find influencers!

Do Google searches on your interests, be it cooking, home decorating, hair styling, green living, etc.

You will do better working with blogs you enjoy as well.

It may help to search on more specific areas of interest.

I searched on "How to Make Homemade Laundry Detergent" once, and actually found a great many blog possibilities.

Bloggers want to drive traffic to their blogs, so you can pretty much find them on any social media platform. 

Some of the best places to network are:

And another cool network you can use to find blogs is StumbleUpon

When looking for a blog to advertise on, see how many followers, Facebook fans, etc. they have.

Also ask how many page views and/or unique visitors they have per month…the more the better. If it's too small, you may not get any sales at all.

You usually get what you pay for, so even if an ad or giveaway seems pricey, it will more likely pay off.

Compare the cost to the number of page views, etc.

I hesitate to recommend numbers, but to be effective, they should be in the range of:

This is just in general, because a lot depends on the blogger and the blog's giveaway participation.

I usually do a few smaller blogs a month to help out newer bloggers, those who have requested to do a giveaway for me, or for blogs I really enjoy and believe in that I'd like to support.

It's nice to be able to help them out, and it is likely they will grow in the future.

Once you find a possibility, check to see how much interaction the blogger has with her fans.

You will want to find a blogger whose posts get lots of comments, and her fans trust her and see her as a friend.

Very importantly, check a blogger’s past giveaways, and see how many entrants there were.

If she doesn't get much participation, look elsewhere.

At least 100 entrants would be good; 400 or more would be even better.

Note: Some giveaways seem like they have a lot of participation because of the number of entries, but the actual number of people entering may not be that large, as some allow many entries per person, so be sure to check the approximate number of actual people entering.

An enthusiastic and/or helpful blogger can more than make up for lower page views or fans. If you find a good one, stick with her!

Experiment with different types of blogs (market research!)

The best kinds are usually the ones you enjoy the most, and that have good quality content, and not ones that are mostly for just giveaways.

If one doesn't work, try another!

This will be especially beneficial if you never want to do another vendor show or home party ever again!
