SL&Co Features + Freelance Options
About the blog:
Simply Liv & Co. is a community to inspire slow, mindful, and ethical living curated by Olivia Youngs, a wife, mom to two toddlers, coffee connoisseur, and ethical fashion advocate. I love working with brands that create ethical products, promote sustainability, and embody a "less is more" mentality. Think we'd be a good fit? I'd love to work with you and get your product in the hands of my (equally passionate) readers!
In addition to my collaboration opportunities on Simply Liv & Co. I also work as a freelance copywriter and social media manager for ethically minded brands, helping them find their target audience and create engaging content. Does that sound like you? Read on for pricing and available hours.

Blog Packages & Rates:
After a long period of accepting product as payment for promotion/reviews, SL&Co. now charges a fee for sponsored content. Since the brands I work with all promote fair wages and mindful living, I believe compensation for the work bloggers do is important (word of mouth is a powerful advertiser, as you know!) This blog, along with my freelance work, is my full time job and each partnership helps to support our livelihood.
However, I also know that running an ethical business doesn't always allow for an extensive marketing budget, so I intentionally keep prices affordable.

I'm looking forward to working with her again."
