We have long been part of Better Bloggers - Sweden's professional network for bloggers. Last night we were there when founder Linda Hörnfeldt had the release of what Better Bloggers will become from now on: Influencers of Sweden. It is not only the name that will be new but also a lot of other things.

ShareGreat tools for bloggers
We have benefited greatly from Better Bloggers through our membership. Their site has always had good information on things like legal rules for bloggers and how to work with companies in the right way. In the Facebook group, we have also been able to discuss things that bloggers are thinking about.
Lots of news
Now Better Bloggers Influencers of Sweden - The reason for using the word "influencers" is that we do not only welcome bloggers, but also Instagrammers and Youtubers. One novelty is that there will now be a board that also includes Sara Rönne from The joy of exercise and Clara Lidström from Lovely Clara included.
There will be a new member portal (only available as a beta version) where you can choose between hobby membership (free) or professional membership (500 SEK/year). Here you will be able to create your own profile page, access document templates, sell services (e.g. photos) and of course information about seminars and meetings. It will be interesting to see what it can provide!
Mingle with bloggers
We were treated to bubbly, sandwiches and of course a lot of mingling with other bloggers. It's always fun to meet both familiar and unfamiliar faces at these events. Several of our friends among the travel bloggers were there and it was of course fun to meet and talk about the latest trips. On the way home we also had time to talk to Susanne who runs the food blog Recepten.se.

So much fun. Linda is awesome and the network is fantastic! Ohhhh, how I would have liked to be there! But I probably did best in staying at home after all.

Blog meeting. Nice stuff. It will be exciting to see how it turns out for us hobby bloggers who (so far) do not pay for membership.

admin says:
Lena, really! And there will certainly be more meetings in the future 🙂 ðŸ™'
Dryden, the "professional" membership is aimed at anyone who wants to do a little more with their blog, whether it's big or small. You simply get more in the membership if you choose to become a paying member.

Wihoo! So great with a report for us who live too far away (y) 🙂 I really believe in this and will make a difference for Swedish influencers in social media!

Oooh so nice that we got an update here first thing in the morning! Thank you so much! And YAY! 🙂

admin says:
Lennart, yes, we did talk about that. There are guys/men in the network too, but the girls/women really dominate ...
Angeliqa, but oh, we didn't have time to talk to each other!!! Next time! 🙂
Anita, a bit too far, I can agree with that 😉.
Linnea, glad you appreciate the report! Yes, I think a serious organisation can be a good public face.
Liniztravel, sad to miss out of course, but there will be more opportunities!
Jenn, we always try to be quick 😉

This sounds like an exciting initiative! 🙂

Ama de casa says:
It's so nice to meet so many other bloggers!
However, I have never heard of this forum *shame*. On the other hand, I run my own travel and there is probably no one out there who would want to sponsor me. Or maybe wettex would... But it's been a long time since I wrote about my favourite rags 😉.

Lots of girls blogging!

Lena says:
Lovely activities it has become atort to blog at those levels, fun 🙂 Is it then = the only job? Can they make a living from blogging AND have a life?

admin says:
Renates Reiser, yes, it will be exciting to see what it leads to!
Ama de casa, it can be fun/good to be part of a network like this whether you are looking to be sponsored or not. You can join as a free hobby member, if you do not want to spend more than that on it.
Lena, those who run this trade organisation (and who also run large blogs) may be able to (but many bloggers have a combination of activities/services that provide income). Among the members, there is a great variety - everything from really big bloggers who can make a living from it to lots of small bloggers who only have it as a hobby (but maybe aiming bigger for the future ;)).

Ditte says:
Fun with some new thinking here and changing the name to Influencers of Sweden sounds good to me, maybe more in this direction it will go.
It's also fun to meet and mingle with other bloggers and maybe exchange some thoughts and experiences.
Thanks for the update .
It will be interesting to follow developments.

Sara says:
Hello! But - we never got to talk! But nice to have been in the same physical place anyway, otherwise it will be mostly in the virtual world. I believe a lot in Influencers of Sweden - it will be an exciting future!

Oh how I would have liked to go. But unfortunately, we had a stomach bug at the weekend and I didn't dare go out.

What fun with such a big blog meeting, 😀 but a bit of a shame that not everyone had time to talk to each other in the mingle.
The name Influencers of Sweden sounded very professional 😀.
Have a nice Tuesday!

Nice report for those of us who were not there! Good professional name that seems promising for us!

Great initiative and so good to get this report from you! I have benefited a lot from them and look forward to the continuation.

What fun and it will be interesting to be part of Influencers Of Sweden, because Better Bloggers has been a great network with a good forum and a lot of useful information in the blog world.

BP says:
I didn't know there was a trade organisation for bloggers and now also Instagrammers and Youtubers. I think it is good, then the status is raised regardless of whether you want to make money from your blog or not. Oh that with legal help not least with regard to images is really good.
Then I clicked on your links just to see what you can/will blog about. Oh, that's probably most of it I saw. Then I can think that the blog and Instagram world is incredibly female-dominated, which I think is an incredible shame. Youtube is probably more mixed or?

Makes sense to network. The blogger "Finally lost" piqued my interest....

Cathinka says:
Linda is really driven! It's great that the social media are linked in this way because they are often so closely related and we all use slightly different channels. Better Bloggers is awesome even for us who may not be investing in becoming so big but who still want to do "right". Thanks for a great report!

Matts Torebring says:
It's great to know that they exist. Personally, I am still at my leisure level. I still work far too many hours a week. There is not enough time for me anymore.

Ditte, it is fun to mingle and exchange experiences in the blog world! 🙂
Sara, next time we will have time to talk! 🙂
Miashopping, stomach flu is not fun!!! But there will certainly be more meetings in the future!
Geddfish, yes, it is always difficult to talk to everyone... I also think the name will be good!
Annika Ecological, I like the name too! And glad you appreciated the report! 🙂
Anna Travel on a cloud, we are also looking forward to the continuation, it will be exciting 🙂 .
Jeanette, yes it's fun to be involved now and see what happens!
BP, this business organisation for bloggers is new, but good! We also discussed this with the female dominance. There are male bloggers too, but they are definitely fewer (and maybe more "niche" and less "lifestyle"?) I don't know what it looks like in Instagram and Youtube, but I can guess that there are more guys there.
Solan, glad you found Katarina's lovely blog! 🙂
I'm not stupid..., I'm sure there will be more opportunities in the future!
Steve, yes things are really happening in this world, exciting!
Cathinka, I also think this is valuable for all bloggers, large and small. As you say, you want to keep track of rules and the like regardless.
Matts, a blog can definitely be just a fun and relaxing hobby! A fantastic hobby, I think 🙂 .

Marianne, yes I think so, is there something similar in Norway?
Sheida, very interesting and exciting we think! Thank you for your comment!

Seems to have been a wonderful mingle and exciting with the new concept! 🙂

Marianne - Glimpses of the world says:
ANSWER: I certainly don't know of anything similar here in Norway, but then I don't know everything, I'm not that experienced as a travel blogger 🙂 .

admin says:
Marianne, you are well experienced as a travel blogger! 😉 There may not be anything similar in Norway yet, it's very new here too, but it may come!
