Free Sponsor Form Printable

I’ve been trying to get my blog stuff in order recently, and I am pulling together a binder to keep track of everything. Most free printables out there have great things in them. There are calendars, to-do lists, goal sheets, sheets to keep track of the people who are sponsoring you, and more. One thing that I wasn’t finding – or finding a version that I liked – was a way to keep track of the people who you are sponsoring. After getting frustrated with Pinterest and Google, I ended up making my own.

The first version has 2 on each page. It is the quick and dirty version, designed to just keep track of everything.

SPONSOR FORM LINK (Without the watermark)

Fill out all the information on it, including circling if you bought social media shout-outs or participating in a giveaway. There’s a place for the straight ad price and one for you to write down any extra giveaway costs. Then at the end of your sponsorship, you can write down how many visitors the sponsor sent your way (this involves math from looking at your traffic sources).

The second version has 1 on each page. It is more detailed as also doubles as an evaluation of your sponsor to determine if it is worth renewing it or not. You can also use this evaluate yourself and see if you’re living up to your cost!

Like the other version, you fill it out with the usual information. But you can also write out how may social media shout-outs you were promised, how many you received, the number of followers you gained from each link in a giveaway, any other notes you want to write down, and circle if it was worth it or not. The notes section might be used to write things like, “Great to work with,” “I had to email them asking for some of the information,” “Death in the family took them offline for a week,” or “Gave me coupon code ‘Thank you’ to use later.”

I’m trying to be very deliberate with my sponsors (especially for those spots that cost more than $5), and so I’m planning to use this to help me decide where is best to spend my money in the future. I’d rather spend $20 on one ad that brings me a lot of traffic and helps me to grow as a blog and a brand than $5 on 4-5 ads ($20-25 total) that don’t bring me much at all.

Enjoy!

Today, I also bring you the awesome Jenn from Hello Rigby!

Hi Kate the (Almost) Great readers! I’m Jenn, and I blog over at hellorigby!, a lifestyle and fashion blog that’s named after my silly dog, Rigby. He’s a one-and-a-half year old Shiba Inu who runs my life most days. I mostly write about fashion and life, but I also enjoy beauty and reading so I write about those topics sometimes too. I’m a little bit sarcastic, and a lot in love with my hometown, Seattle. You’ll probably see some shots of some of my favorite places and local events from time to time too. I’d love for you to come say hi anytime!

    So smart to keep track of how your blog grows with certain sponsors!

    I think that keeping track/making a final decision on if I should go back or not is key! I tend to think about it, but then forget. Great printable!

    This is fabulous! I haven't been doing a very good job keeping track of who I'm sponsoring, so I think this will be a great help!

      What type of form are you looking for? If you’re looking for the sponsor form that you can print out for your own records, it should be in the post! If the link doesn’t work, let me know.

SHARING YOUR HEALTH EXPERIENCES PUBLICLY⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I sh SHARING YOUR HEALTH EXPERIENCES PUBLICLY⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I share my personal health experiences online, which I find it somewhat easy to do because I've been talking publicly - albeit to a smaller audience - since my health problems started in 2001. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
If you share something online, you need to be prepared for people to ask questions or argue with you. Should they? No. Will that stop them? Also do. ⁣
⁣
That's one of the reasons that talking online about what can be trauma is not easy or for everyone. That's why it's important to practice self-care and to consciously think about what you want to share online before you do it. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
For example, I generally only talk publicly about a health situation once it has passed, especially if it's an emergency. I also make sure that I'm in a good place mentally before I talk about it. That way, I don't share things I'll regret sharing publicly later. It also helps me be less anxious about sharing these details.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
And I don't share everything! There's lot of stuff that I haven't talked about not only online but with people in real life. It might seem like I share everything I've experienced, but I don't. ⁣

I’ve been on IVIG since September. So what does su I’ve been on IVIG since September. So what does success look like? ⁣
⁣
*This is all just for me and my case!*⁣
⁣
1️⃣ I haven't gotten sick at all since I started, not even a cold. ⁣
2️⃣ My lungs are clear of any ground glass opacities, which was what pushed us over to finally doing IVIG regularly. ⁣
3️⃣ We feel better about saying that I don't have any infections. Because symptoms are often signs of the body fighting an infection, we couldn't always trust that I wasn't sick because I didn't have symptoms. ⁣
4️⃣ Because of all of this, we're increasing my next Rituxan dose! This will mean better RA symptoms and hopefully no new illnesses for a few years.⁣

Can we talk about fatigue for a sec? ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Fatigue Can we talk about fatigue for a sec? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Fatigue is so much more than being tired. It's sleeping 10 hours at night and then struggling to stay awake during the day. It's trouble focusing because, even though you just had 3 cups of coffee, you're thinking about sleep. It's needing to factor rest in during the day because you have plans at night. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
It's a lot. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
It's no secret that I have multiple chronic illnesses. But did you know that all of them - all 11+ of them - have fatigue as a symptom? Sometimes the fatigue is worse than the pain and, uh, I live with a lot of pain.⁣⁣
⁣
This picture was taken when I was super anemic and waiting for 4 iron infusions. Now, months later, I can see it. And I also don't know how I got through the months of that anemia. ⁣
