Blogger Outreach Opportunities

Hello,

I’m Lynn Smythe, the founder of The Creative Cottage and Sloth Athletica blogs. I am occasionally contacted by brands and public relations agencies regarding placing sponsored content on my blogs and social media sites. Here is a quick brochure I created on Canva that lists my rates, etc.

Sponsored Post Examples (I Wrote Content)

Freelance Writer -SEO Copywriter – Communications Consultant

Besides blogging, I am also a freelance writer, SEO copywriter and communications consultant. My work has appeared on many online sites and in magazines, and other print publications, including Thrive Global, VeggieLife, BackHome, The Herb Quarterly, The Old Farmer’s Almanac, Llewellyn’s Herbal Almanac, The Crafts Report, Beadwork, Jewelry Crafts and Lapidary Journal.

I cover a variety of lifestyle and outdoor activity topics on my two hobby/niche blogs; The Creative Cottage and Sloth Athletica. When I’m not busy researching topics and writing articles, I enjoy swimming, biking, running, standup paddle boarding and training for long distance endurance events to support my favorite non-profit charity organizations.
