The Green Ninja

Women blog for a lot of different reasons – to make money, to fill the time, to teach others, to have a creative outlet or even for the perks.

Wait. What’s this about perks?

Are you a lady blogger who likes freebies?  Do I have news for you!

There was a great article over at Problogger a couple of days ago by a lady named Krizia.  The article was about how hard it is now to get samples from companies whose products she wants to review on her beauty blog.  Since the recession, apparently companies are wanting more and more blog reviews and are being much pickier about who they will send samples to.

Fortunatly, I don’t have this problem. Why? Because I belong to the One to One network.

The One to One Network is a network of women bloggers who get the word out on new music, books, etc, in exchange for a review copy of the product.

From the website:

One2One Network is made up of a wide array of women from 21 to 70+ years young in various life stages, from first-time mommies to seasoned moms and from career newbies to budding entrepreneurs. The common bond between us all is that we love to discover new products and we love to communicate!

It doesn’t matter if it’s online, on the phone or good ‘ol face-to-face, One2One Network Members interact with many different people in our daily lives.

As women, we appreciate the ability to share our opinions about the products and services we believe in, whether it’s with our friends, co-workers or with companies directly.

When it comes to marketing to women as a consumer group, we hold the opinions of people who share our lifestyles and interests in very high regard.

Recommendations shared via word of mouth are some of the most powerful and effective forms of marketing.

Plus, we’re the tastemakers and ‘real-life’ product testers who are usually the ‘go-to’ people in our peer groups for all things new, improved and let’s face it, probably on sale.

I’ve been with One to One for a while now and I have really enjoyed my experience.  Not too long ago, I received a book in the mail to read and write a review on.  In exchange for the book, I had agreed to post reviews at 3 different online retailers.  I was also put into a drawing for some amazon gift cards.  It’s a win/win situation.

Do all the reviews have to be positive? No.  They are looking for honest reviews from women who can say what they really think.  The book that I read was good, but not great.  And that’s how I wrote my review.

If this seems like something you would be interested in or you are already a part of the women blog network, leave me a comment and let me know.  You can get to the One to One website by clicking here.
