These days more businesses than ever before are turning to DAM software as a means to store their company’s digital files and most valuable assets. As businesses are becoming more and more digitized, it's commonplace for organizations to have thousands of files, ranging from data sheets and sales materials to presentations, marketing documents, product photography and video, as well as website and written content.

A Digital Asset Management system keeps all these files in one easy to manage place. Using a powerful, Google-style search criterion, employees can find the specific file they need within seconds. Version control capabilities, user groups and permission profiles keep these files up to date and protected, making DAM software an essential part of any organization. 

While the implementation of DAM software can help streamline workflows across your department or company, businesses can still benefit from someone at the helm of this powerful organization tool. This is where the role of a Digital Asset Manager comes in.

It is still a very new profession to consider - social media influencer. Whether you want to become famous on the internet, supplement your income, share your passion, or even discover a whole new career that you love. I have been in the social media world since my friend introduced me over a decade and a half ago and I have never looked back. I have loved social media before I even knew of it's potential. And now I get to share my life with the world with the touch of a fingertip.

So how to become a social media influencer? Here are my tips.

People ask me all the time "how did I get into product reviewing and making money blogging". My journey into this job (that I love) is unconventional. I started just keeping track of my pregnancy with my daughter. While on bed rest, I had heard that you could make money blogging, but it was a penny a word type stuff and I didn't feel that was worth it for me. I took a break for a while from my blog because it was hard to keep up with it and a newborn. I picked it up again when my daughter was almost two. But since I was a stay-at-home mom (with no car for 6 months), I started trying to connect with other bloggers, so I could feel a sense of community and for some adult interaction. And I noticed other bloggers getting products to review. So I pitched one. I pitched a lot actually, but the first company that took a chance on me was Buddy Fruits. And since then this wonderful endeavor has opened up so many opportunities for me.


There are a few things you should note if you are going to try to get into this business:
1. You have to be able to meet personal deadlines.
2. You have to be able to follow through on any commitments you make.
3. You have to understand that this isn't just about "getting free stuff". It's a LOT of work.

So how do you become a product review blogger?

I have been blogging "as work" for over 2 years now and I have learned a LOT along the way. When I first started trying to make money on my blog back was back in 2010. I signed up through all these different companies and websites not knowing what I was looking for and never found anything that I felt was worth my time. But when I started trying to expand my blog in 2012, it was more for hobby and then I thought I could review a few items here and there because I saw other bloggers doing just that. So I reached out to a few companies. And it worked. But that's a post for another day. And then I found out that I could really make money, if I invested more money into my blog. But that's also a post for another day. This post is all about the sites that you can work with to help monetize your blog because they have worked for me.
