What an amazing adventure offering sponsorship has been for SortaCrunchy since last September. It has been an absolute joy to work with both small business owners and fellow bloggers in this venture!
Toward the end of 2011, SortaCrunchy hit a new milestone that I had only dreamed of in years past - over 150,000 monthly pageviews and 100,000 absolute unique visits. Subscriber numbers continue to climb, and it's incredibly humbling to stand back and see this much growth (though I must confess that after almost six years of blogging, it's also incredibly rewarding!).
I've decided to keep my sponsorship rates the same even though SortaCrunchy's statistics have changed quite a bit since I launched sponsorship plans last fall. It's my goal to continue to provide sponsorship options that are open and affordable to all!
Do you have a small business, Etsy shop, or personal blog? Looking to grow your audience in 2012? I would love to get you plugged in as a sponsor for January!
I'm delighted to share this testimonial from October's featured sponsor, Jennifer of Every Breath I Take:
When looking to promote your blog or business, there are a lot of ways of reaching new customers or readers. But, few of them are as rewarding as sponsoring Megan and her work on SortaCrunchy. First of all, you know your "promotional dollar" is going to a woman who's work is changing the world for the better. That alone is worthwhile. But then you get the most wonderful icing on the cake - her readers are just about the most beautiful group of people you could ever want to do business with. They are kind, loving, supportive and encouraging. Sponsoring SortaCrunchy has resulted in huge increases of traffic to my blog. But, more than that, it has allowed me to build connections and relationships that will inform and bless my work for years to come. Thank you so much, Megan!
Jennifer experienced a 297% increase in visits during her sponsorship month and a 287% increase in pageviews in October. She also picked up new Facebook likes, Twitter followers, and subscriptions to her weekly email newsletter.
