Media Kit and PR Info

Media Kit and PR INFORMATION
He Do Nail's is a PR Friendly blog.  I would like the opportunity to provide you with a site/business review, product review, and/or giveaway.  Please email me at hedonails@gmail.com if you have interest in having me provide your product/company with a review.
I am a 35-year-old male who is Diabetic, and very tech savvy, and very much into doing nails, nail art, and learning new techniques and testing products.
My background has always been an artistic one, and I have used my artistic talents to explore different mediums ranging from digital arts to more traditional methods such as painting. I bring my artistic background into my nail designs and the art that I do with them.
I strive to test out new products and give my honest reviews of them. Because nothing is worse that finding products that promise  you that they will do something and turn out that they dont. I am also using this blog as a social media platform to share my creative flare, and unique nail designs. I dont make any claims to being a professional, and thus all my work and postings are coming from that of a hobbyist and an amature nail designer/technition. Also being a male who wears nail polish, and designs on his nails, I am hoping to not only start a new trend, but also battle gender roles and bring high fashion nails to men's hands.
I enjoy being able to spread the word about products and my experiences with them through business/site/product reviews, and giveaways. If you or your company would like for me to test a product or use one on my blog, or youtube channel, please email me so we can talk about it hedonails@gmail.com
MEDIA KIT
The majority of my followers include persons who are looking to purchase a new product or service, or have varying levels of interest in nail design, nail art, and nail polish. I would say that my demographic is currently women from 18-45 years of age.

PRODUCT REVIEWS & GIVEAWAYS
Product reviews are a wonderful way to not only receive some honest feedback on a product, but they are also a cost effective way to spread word to others.  I will provide product reviews free of charge, although I will require that a full size sample of the product be sent to me to keep.  I will require 1-2 weeks to complete the review.
If interested in doing a giveaway to accompany a review, I will advertise the giveaway on social networking sites, blogging communities, and giveaway links.  I will utilized Random.org to choose the winner. 
SITE/BUSINESS REVIEW 
Why do a site/business review?  First, it provides instant exposure.  Second, it provides your business with a review that utilizes keywords to help your site’s ranking in the search engines.  I simply ask that you place my banner on your site or blog.
I do request that the site/business/product be family friendly.
If you are interested in having your site/business/product featured on He Do Nails,  or would like to Guest Blog, please contact me at hedonails@gmail.com 
I look forward to any inquiries and future business done with you and your company.

An open letter to PR firms by Jamie of Babyguygearguide.com:
When you contact me, or other people in the social media space, on behalf of a client, don’t be surprised when we ask what we will get in-return. You make a few thousand dollars a month (sometimes a week) to reach out to people like me to promote brands you work with. They pay you to find an outlet. Without the outlet, word about your brands does not spread. Expecting ANYONE to work for free is ballsy and offensive. You wouldn’t ask a plumber, an electrician, a babysitter, or a doctor to work for free. The same thing applies here. Respect the work that people have put into building their careers and their audience, and the education and experience they are bringing to the table. Most of us GREATLY value our audience and we take our relationship with them very seriously. “We do not pay for reviews”—you’re not paying for a review. You’re paying to reach an audience (a highly educated and engaged one, I might add). An audience that is worth being reached is worth paying for. You make money promoting your client, your clients sell products, yet you expect people like me to work for Facebook likes or exposure.
Facebook likes do not pay bills, exposure is what people die of in the extreme cold or heat…
