Hey guys!

Hope you are doing great!

In today's post, we will discuss four ways to get collaborations with brands as an influencer.

When you come across a word influencer, the first thing that comes into everyone's mind is how does an influencer get all freebies?

One thing you must know here is, nothing comes for free. The things which are known to be freebies must be considered as the amount of effort and time an influencer spent to create content.

So basically, if you're a newbie, you need to put a little more effort to get collaborations with brands.

One :
Emails:
Sending Emails is one of the best ways to get in touch with brands. Every brand will have mail id for influencers to get in touch with.
We can give a brief description about us and our work, Contact information, attach the social media website links along with a media kit it required.
The brands will get you if your profile matches their requirement.

Two:
DM:
Sending Direct Messages on Instagram is similar to sending emails but in an informal way.
You briefly tell about your work and share screenshots of your insights.
Brands will directly talk you if they have requirements.
Sometimes, they share Emails to make the conversation formal.

Three:
Referrals and Blogger groups:

Referrals are the best way to get collaborations with newbies. If you have any friends from influencers, you can ask them to refer you for event launches and brand collaborations.
You need to maintain a huge network if you're an influencer.

Networking is something that helps with brand collaborations.

Four:
PR agencies

PR agencies are the third party who brings brands and influencers together.
To get in touch with PR agencies, you need to do a little research.
Try to find the best PR agencies in your city on google and try getting the mail ids.
Once you get the right mail ids, then its a boom.
You will get an opportunity to collaborate with brands more often if you get connected to PR agencies.

So guys!

These are the ways to get in touch with brands and to get collaborations.

I hope this article of mine, will help you with your initial collaborations.

Thank you for reading.

Lots of Love,
SP

Hazelnut cake is a Showstopping cake which never goes out of style though it has a little bit of old fashioned charm.

Feu Dessert Hyderabad has sent this cake to me on the occasion of my birthday.

The top layer of the cake is filled with chocolate ganache and it gave a luscious taste.
The inner layers of the cake have given a coffee-like taste and this taste is something very fresh from the routine.

Altogether, the cake tasted slightly chocolatey and minimally bittersweet. This is the newest combination of a cake I've ever had!

I've celebrated my birthday with this unique flavored cake which I believe has two emotions in it.
Sweetness for bringing in all the happiness for the entire year
Bitterness for letting go of all the unfortunate things that have happened throughout the year.

I would specially love to thank Feu Dessert for sending this cake for my birthday.
And guys,

This store is partly novelty store and a grocery store.

As in, stationery, confectionery, Home Decor, Snacks, Toys and many more.

The prices here are very economical and there are discounts across all the departments.
The interesting part about the pricing is, every product's price ends either with '99 or '9 .
I found this product pricing very unique and so do the store.

If you ask 10 people about their favorite flower, 9 out of 10 would answer it to be rose.
It is indeed easy for me to answer because I am one of the fans of rose flowers.
The petals of rose unfurl slowly, gently and softly and the colors choices are so vivid.

Flowewali is a Hyderabad based company who offers handcrafted flower bouquets and crafts amazing rose flower bouquets.

The brand is synonymous with luxury, innovation, and style.

The bouquets are very unique and they are the combination of fresh roses and eternal roses.
These eternal roses stay at least for a year.

The combination of red and golden roses is my most favorite style of presenting the bouquets.

Flowerwali is basically B2C and they offer home delivery as soon as the bouquets are made.

The bouquets will stay fresh up to 4 days and they have a really good fragrance.

I received these beautiful flowers on the occasion of my birthday.
The bouquet is made of square shape and 'HBD Gorgeous ' is engraved on one of
the petals of roses.

I would love to thank flowerwali for making an effort of sending these beautiful roses for my birthday.

Hello there!

You all know how much I love food. I'm a connoisseur indeed.
I'm a fan of cute little things and pretty little cafe's.

A new place in town has captured my heart for its tasty food, ambiance, and infrastructure.
And the place is "Bird Box Cafe" which serves continental food.

Right from the Starters to desserts, I loved every single dish they served.

Starters
Jalapeno Broccoli Cheese Poppers and Zucinni Tots were served as Starters.
The subtleness of cheese popped out for every single bite.
And Jalapeno broccoli was so soft and luscious.
Zucinni Tots was my favorite dish and it tasted so yum.




The Salad

This is something very fresh and very healthy which was served at the cafe. I'm not a fan of salads but I assure you that you will definitely love this one if you're into salads. 


The pasta
Red Sauce pasta is my all-time favorite continental food. The fragrance was so nice and it was served very hot. It was mouth-watering and was the best pasta I've ever had.


Fried rice combo

This Combo is a combination of fried rice, dry Manchuria and grated vegetables. This is my most favorite dish. The rice was so tasty along with Manchuria. 
This plate is the best combo ever.



Dessert

Blueberry cheesecake is the star food among all the dishes that were served. 
The cake was so yummy and I still get water in my mouth.





Ratings:
Food - 4.5/5
Infrastructure- 4/5
Ambiance - 5/5

On the overall, I would rate 4.5/5

The cost for two people will be Rs.800 which is extremely reasonable.

So guys,
Do visit the place and I hope you will have a great time along with some amazing food and music.

Thank you for reading.

Lots of love,
Sneha Polapragada.

Hello there,

I hope you have liked the case study which I have written earlier.

In today's post, we will learn about how to start a blog if you are a beginner.

Let us do it in stepwise.

Step one:
Be specific.

When you're a newbie, you must actually know what your interests are.
When you want to start a blog you must be very keen about a particular category you are interested in.
For example, Someone is very keen on finance and some of them are keen about food.
So, it is very important to be specific about what you're going to start with.

Step two:
Choose a right platform :

Now that you have an idea with you, You need to choose a platform to write your blogs.

You can choose Wordpress, Blogger, Tumbler, Wix and so on.

Since you're a newbie you can start it up with Google's Blogger.
The crux of using WordPress or any other platform is, You will have to buy a domain name and other services if you want to use its complete services.
Whereas in blogger everything is free initially. You don't have to pay for taxes or any other additional services.

Once you are used to it, then you can change your platform to any other site.
*/We will learn about changing the platform without disturbing your SEO in other article/*


Step three:
Write frequently

It is very much important to post at least once a week. Your audience must not get bored with your blog. They must get engaged and entertained.
So try to post frequently.

Step four:
Maintain SEO

To maintain Search Engine Optimization, you have to use the right keywords.

1. If you're writing a post related to fashion, try to get some keywords form hashtag analytics website.

These websites help to build engagement and reach.
Once you get the right keywords, try implementing them in your article.

Right keywords will help you to get more visibility in Search Engines as in google.

For example, if someone is searching about 'fashion tips in summer', Your article will get displayed on Search Engine if you have used the word 'fashion tips' frequently in your article.

2. You have to design an appropriate cover picture for your article.
If the cover picture looks attractive,people will visit your blog and read the articles you have written.
You can use Canvas and Photogrid to edit your cover pictures.

3. Always maintain an Email list.
When you're just starting, it is obvious that you don't have enough subscribers as a newbie.
Collect email Ids from people and send them your post as a group mail every week.
If people like what you wrote, then they will subscribe to your Blog.

So guys,

I hope this post has given you some insights about how to start a blog.

Today's Excercise:

Take a paper & pen and jot down your interests about your favorite blog category.
Fashion, Food, Education, Technology or anything as such.

Once you have finalized your idea, open a blogger site and start writing it.

Also, if you have any queries, do write them in the comment section below. I would love to answer them all.

Lots of love,
SP

Hello There!

So lately, I've been to three amazing restaurants and felt like sharing my experiences with you all today.

Hashi :


Moshi Moshi!

Hashi is a new Japanese restaurant in town which serves Cantonese Cuisine exclusively.
The place is neither too big nor too small. It is just appropriate.
The surroundings are very very hygiene and it gave me a total Japanese vibe with a wooden wall piece hung on the wall.
The interiors are decent and to the corner of the restaurant, they got live Sushi making stall.

The fragrance of the Sushi was all over the room and felt amazing.

We were served fried rice, Plain noodles with sauce and Sushi for the main course.
For the desert, I had a Ginger flavored ice cream.
I must say, it is the star dish served at the place.
They tasted so yum and luscious.
I still get water in my mouth describing the dishes.
If you guys are visiting the place, I want you all to taste the mentioned dishes.

I really love the place and I will go back there again pretty soon

Ratings:
Infrastructure: 4/5
Food: 4.5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Hygiene: 5/5

On average rating is : 4.5/5

Gazebo : 




The buffet is a category which I often prefer to Al-a-cartè when it comes to food.
The Gazebo restaurant has got a buffet.

Serving the starters at the table and Self-serving the Main course is the wonderful part of Buffet.

Crispy corn and baby corn were served as starters. I felt that crispy corn was got low spices and it was served very cold. It also tasted rancid. Baby corn was too mushy and I haven't liked the taste at all.

The main course has got both veg and nonveg dishes.
Biryani, Jira rice, 2 dry curries, 2 wet curries, dal, sambar, Rasam, curd, curd rice, plain rice, fruits, and sweets were served.

I'm not at all happy with the hygiene and the infrastructure. The food's taste haven't rose above the mediocre. This place is a one time visit and needs a lot of improvement.

Ratings:
Infrastructure: 2/5
Food: 2/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Hygiene: 1.5/5
On the overall, the rating will be 2.5/5

Bonito dessert bar :






 The Bonito dessert studio has got the most amazing food ever.
I felt like I was having a luscious England breakfast.
This dessert bar studio has got England's food cultur to hyderabad.
The Veg and Non-Veg Breakfast combo is the yummiest food ever and they also got an innumrable number of cakes , sweets and brownies.
The doughnut is one of the mouthwatering dishes available there.
The hygiene and infrastructure is to the point and I would want to go back there whenever I find free time

I would love to congratulate and thank @bonito.thedessertstudio for bringing up the England culture here in Hyderabad.
The most interesting part is the entire combo is very very affordable.
For two people it will cost nearly Rs.500 including taxes. .
.
Guys!
Do visit the place and You will return with yummymummies in your tummies. .

Ratings:

Infrastructure: 5/5
Food: 4.5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Hygiene: 5/5
On the overall, the rating will be 4.5/5


Khandani Rajdhani






Ram Ram sa,

The culture of having Rajasthani food here is Hyderabad is bought here by The Khandani Rajdhani restraunt.

The place looks dim, but manageable. This place is specialized in serving the huge rajasthani thali.

The price for a person is Rs. 500 and the dishes served were very very yummy.
There were about 29 traditional Rajasthani dishes served in one thali plate.

As part of the mango festival, aamras( freshly. Squeezed mango pulp) is also served.

The entire place gave me a vibe of typical rajasthani locality and I surely did like it.

Ratings:

Infrastructure: 3/5
Food: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Hygiene: 3/5
On the overall, the rating will be 3.5/5

So guys,
That was it for now.

Health is wealth is said to be an important saying of everyone's lives.
Being fit is not just about working out but eating healthy.
When you have a perfect diet, you look fit and also healthy.

About Saladefy:

Saladefy has come up with a unique platform which sells only salads.

I'm basically not a fan of leaves and Salads, but after going through 'Saladefy website, I wanted to try something very different from the routine.

I've ordered Rainbow Salad, Mixed green Salad and also Watermelon refresher.
Rainbow salad is my most favorite among all.
These salads have got all the ingredients which have got all the necessary minerals and proteins that are necessary for Human bodies.

The interesting part is all the ingredients are collected from local farms of Hyderabad.

They also have a home delivery service . They deliver within 30 minutes after the order is placed.
If you want to switch from your regular diet routine and want to try something new, you must defenitely try Salads and refreshments from Saladefy.

They also have weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions. You check them in the gallery below.

Hey guys!

Hope you're doing great.

Today, I got you all some information about a very interesting place in town.

We often see launches and hoardings about Hair Salons and Beauty parlors.

This time it's a launch of a Nail Salon which is exclusively established for nails.

They say if you have a perfectly manicured nails, you are officially "An Adult"

I'm someone who always looks up at having a very perfect trimmed and toned nails.

Tip & Toe nail bar has come up to fulfill all my needs.
They have trimmed and fixed my nails as the way I wanted them to be.

The Service was so good and quintessentially outstanding.

Someone who is a chronic nail biter, who occasionally paints nails or have chipped nail paint on nails ?
Relaxx girls
The Salon is just bulit for you!
They have amazing equipment just for your nails.

The Smudge-free UV nail paints stay on nails for over a month and the acrylic nails look very real and beautiful.

My nails usually grow very long. They're very healthy and fine.
To experience the acrylic nails, I cut down my original nails and got acrylic nails done.

I really loved my first experience and would love to get it done again.

Tip and Toe nail bar also got a cordless UV gel paint Dryer for the very first time in Hyderabad.
They also have launched their very own UV gel paint product line which is called TNT professional paints.

Hey guys!

I've been planning to give you all some lessons about blogs, blogger, influencers, and influencer marketing.

This course is basically designed to make you understand how collaborations with bloggers work? And how do bloggers and influencers actually make money.

/*Along with the readings, you will find some exercises to practice*/

So to begin with,
I would love to introduce you all to the "Daniel Wellington" a classic collaboration which every influencer wishes for!

You need to first understand what is influencer marketing before learning about DW collaboration.

Read about influencer marketing here if you haven't read before!

Hope you have got some insights about influencer marketing.

Have you ever wondered how influencers get a ten thousand rupees 'wrist watch' absolutely for free?
You will understand everything after going through the article.

Daniel Wellington - the brand
DW is a Swedish company which was founded in 2011 by Filip Tysander.
On average, the brands make money of $200million dollars every year.
From the past four years, the sales have gone from $1 million dollars to $200million.

So can you guess what strategies they might have implemented to grow their business?

Undoubtedly they have implemented a strategy called "Influencer Marketing".

As part of the collaboration, a few selected influencers from a niche will be given a watch along with a coupon code.
In return, the influencer has to promote the watch and brand.
The coupon code given by the brand will have a 15% discount on every new purchase.
The influencer will promote the watch and code at their particular niche.

Someone from the influencers target group purchases the watch using the code will get an offer of 15%.
For example, if the watch is for Rs.10,000/- using the code, it comes down to Rs.7500/-
The percentage of that watch's sale will be given to the influencer.

How does this benefit Daniel Wellington ?

Firstly, DW wants a social presence which will automatically happen through influencers when they promote the watch on various social media platforms as in face book, instagram and so on.

Second, when the influencer of a particular niche, will promote the watch, people who are in the surroundings and have no idea about DW will get to know about the brand.

third, When the targeted group purchases the watch, the brand gets 70% of the amount
For example, if an influencer has got 5000 followers, at least 10 of his followers will use the coupon code and purchase the watch.
One watch equals to Rs.10,000/-
Ten watches equal to Rs.1,00,000/-

After cutting down the percentage of an influencer, Daniel Wellington will recieve
Rs.70,00/-.

So, for Rs.10,00/- DW will gain Rs.60,000/- .

Every year Daniel Wellington will manufacture 20,00 watches just for the influencers.
They send a sample watch to the influencer and expect a promotion for them which indeed gives them huge returns.

That is how DW makes money.

How can you collaborate with DW?

There are two ways to collaborate with DW

One, The PR's from DW will look at your social media profiles and will send you a request for collaboration.

Two, You can directly mail to the official influencer program of DW and request them to collaborate with you.
Once, your profile gets verified, you will be sent a sample watch.

Mail id: collaborateindia@danielwellington.com

So guys,
I hope you got some good knowledge after reading the post.

Also, I hope this post will help you to get a Collaboration with DW.

Exercise:
Visit: https://www.danielwellington.com/in/
*//www.danielwellington.com/in/ //*

Go through the collection and let me know your favorite watch.
If you are purchasing any watch use my code "SNEHALP" and avail 15% offer on your purchases.

Thank you for having a glance.

Lots of love,
Sneha polapragada
