New to SITS? Welcome!! Go read this to get started.
Waiting to receive that magical e-mail stating that your Feature Day has arrived can take awhile. That’s why when we revamped the website, we also reconfirmed our commitment to showcasing the fabulous women in our community by coming up with new and innovative ways to feature bloggers.
It has long been said that a picture can speak a thousand words and videos offer a glimpse of a person in a way that a blog post simply cannot. As our way to encourage you to continue expanding your bag of bloggy tricks, we’re excited to launch: SITS Girl in the Spotlight. Doing so allows us to recognize even more talented SITStahs and what they’re doing around the blogosphere.
Here’s how it works: Once a quarter, we’ll be asking you to send us your favorite picture OR vlog. Our plan is to then update our homepage multiple times a week and feature these submissions by including a short description of the blogger, link love, and the blogger’s photo or vlog.
For a full explanation of rules, regulations, and other important tips, Mama Kat recorded her own vlog. Hopefully it will help answer any questions you might have…
In short, here is how you can get involved:
- Send your vlog or picture to SITSspotlight@gmail.com, and include “SITS Spotlight” in the subject.
- Include a description of your submission and your URL in the email.
- If you are submitting a vlog, keep the length to two (maybe three) minutes long.
- If you are submitting a picture, your camera can pretty much focus on anything.
- Choose only one video or picture to share.
- Stay away from nudity and foul language.
Also, if you want to take the leap into vlogging, but aren’t sure how to get started, then be sure to check out my tips on how to become a vlogging superstar. Making a vlog does not have to be difficult or intimidating!
So what are you waiting for? The window for becoming a SITS Girl in the Spotlight is now open! Send us your e-mail and let’s get you featured!
