How to Create an Effective Media Kit or Rate Card for Your Music Blog (2025)

If you want to earn from music promo, artist features, and paid campaigns — you need a media kit.

A media kit (or rate card) shows clients what your blog offers, how much you charge, and why you’re worth it.

This 2025 guide shows you how to create a professional media kit and rate card for your Nigerian music or entertainment blog — even if you’re just starting out.

📌 What Is a Media Kit?

A media kit is a one-page (or short PDF) presentation that includes:

  • 📊 Your blog stats (traffic, followers, region)
  • 💼 What services you offer (e.g., blog features, banner ads, music promos)
  • 💸 Pricing (rate card)
  • 📧 How to contact or book you

It tells artists and advertisers: “Here’s what I can do for you — and what it costs.”

📋 What to Include in Your Media Kit (2025 Format)

  1. 1. Logo + Tagline
    Show your blog name, logo, and niche (e.g., GbeduHQ – Discover New Nigerian Sound).
  2. 2. About Your Blog
    Write 2–3 lines on what your blog does and who it serves.
    Example: “GbeduHQ covers the latest Afrobeats releases, artist interviews, and youth culture stories in Nigeria. Our audience includes students, music lovers, and rising talents.”
  3. 3. Blog Stats
    Use your analytics tool to display:
    • Monthly traffic (page views, users)
    • Top countries (e.g., Nigeria, UK, US)
    • Social media followers (Instagram, WhatsApp list, X)

    Add charts or icons to make it visual.

  4. 4. Services Offered
    List what clients can buy from you:
    • 🎤 Artist Feature Post
    • 🎵 Music Promotion Package (blog + WhatsApp broadcast)
    • 📸 Sponsored Instagram/X Post
    • 🎙 Interview or Guest Post
    • 📰 Homepage Banner (30 days)
  5. 5. Pricing Table (Rate Card)
    Clearly list what each service costs.
    Example:
    Service Price (₦)
    Basic Artist Feature (with links) ₦7,000
    Full Promo Package (blog + IG + WhatsApp) ₦15,000
    Exclusive Interview Article ₦10,000
    Sidebar Ad (1 week) ₦5,000
  6. 6. Testimonials or Previous Clients
    Add 1–3 quotes from past clients or artist screenshots. Even Instagram replies count.
  7. 7. Contact Info
    Show how to reach you: email, WhatsApp, or form.
