What is a media kit?

A media kit is a document that keeps track of all of your site stats and other useful information to give to potential sponsors. They are going to want to make sure they are advertising with a site that is worth their money. Show them you’re worth it, L’Oreal.

What should I put in my media kit? Free media kit template.

Here is what I have in mine. I am always tweaking it based on my needs and stat changes. When someone asks for my media kit, I like to update it, save it as a PDF, then send it off. A nice touch is to add your site logo right at the top too.

I hope you can make use of this free media kit template. Feel free to copy and paste the free media kit template below, and use it how you wish. Tweak it. Use it as it. Make it work for you, dahhhling.
