Daily Dose: Health, Fitness Bloggers Wanted for St. Charles Patch

Are you a health and fitness expert who has a lot of tips or advice to share with your neighbors? Perhaps you have found success in your journey to better health or have developed recipes that have helped along the way that you might like to share.

St. Charles Patch is now looking for health and nutrition bloggers from St. Charles to share stories and photos on Patch. Your blogs could include stories from your life and experiences, tips or recipes. Because you own and operate the blog, the content is up to you—and you can blog as little or as often as you want.

Bloggers will be granted access to our Local Voices platform, where they'll interact with other parents and Patch users. We currently have more than 16 bloggers who have contributed a collective 122 posts.

To become a blogger, shoot me an email at Kalen.ponche@patch.com or call 636-399-9674.

Patch bloggers are not paid and they own the content they produce. So if you are already blogging and want to share with the Patch community, too, let us know.
