Blogger insurance
Blogger insurance: get covered for posts, reviews, and claims.
The short answer
Blogger insurance from CreatorSure covers what you publish on your site. Media liability pays for your defense when someone says a post or review defamed them, used their photos or infringed their work. Fight Back helps pay for a lawyer when someone scrapes or copies your content.
Your archive is your business. Blogger liability insurance covers every post in it.

The risks
Common claims against bloggers
- Reviews. A restaurant, product or company that didn't like what you wrote. Food blogger insurance starts here.
- Images. A photo you found online with an owner who wants paying.
- Recipes and how-tos. Text and photos copied from somewhere else.
- Affiliate posts. Product claims you repeat.
- Comments. What readers post on your site.
Fight Back
Fight Back for content theft
Most insurance waits for you to get sued. Fight Back helps pay for takedowns, demand letters and a lawyer to go after people who take your work. It's for theft you find after your policy starts.
Stolen photos
Your food or travel photos on other sites and pins.
Content in products
Your recipes or guides sold in someone else's ebook.
False claims about you
Lies that cost you brand partners.
Someone ripping off your work?
Proof of insurance
Proof of insurance for brands and affiliates
Brands, affiliate programs and agencies sometimes ask bloggers for proof of coverage. Once you're covered, CreatorSure sends a certificate of insurance to anyone who needs it.
General liability
Why general liability usually doesn't cover blog content
General liability, or GL, is the policy lots of small businesses buy. One part of it, Coverage B, is for personal and advertising injury. For an ordinary business, like a plumber, that part typically covers defamation claims.
A blog is publishing, so that part is usually limited or excluded for bloggers. This is called the media exclusion, and GL doesn't address claims over your content the way media liability does.
Keep GL for physical accidents (CreatorSure covers general liability too and will place it alongside your media liability), and add media liability for your content.
Cost
Blogger insurance cost
There's no flat price, and we won't guess at one here. Your blogger insurance cost depends on your traffic, how the blog earns (ads, affiliates, sponsors), your niche, the limits brands ask for, and your claims history.
CreatorSure builds the quote around you, so you're not paying for extras you don't need. See what moves the price, then request a quote for a real number.
