Email Marketing, Social Media, Product Giveaways
Zondervan/Zonderkidz — part of HarperCollins — reached out to me directly to partner on reviewing their children’s books and Bibles for my audience of over 5,000 YouTube subscribers, plus my podcast and email list. It was a self-directed collaboration: I received review copies and shared honest reviews across my channels. It’s a good example of being recognized as a credible voice that a name-brand publisher wanted to reach my audience through.
