42 Sponsorship Networks For PAID Blogging Jobs

As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. This post may contain Amazon, Rewardstyle, and other affiliate links. That means if you click and buy, I may receive a small commission (at zero cost to you). Please see my full disclosure policy for details.

I know how hard it is for new bloggers to find paid opportunities and how overwhelming all this information is. Everyone starts off in the same boat.

That is why we created this list of the absolute best sponsorship networks for paid blogging jobs.ย 

Believe it or not, there are a ridiculous amount of blogging sponsorship networks out there and it’s not that hard to get into some of them.

Sponsorship Networks For PAID Blogging Jobs

But first…

What is a sponsorship network?

A sponsorship network is a platform that connects brands with influencers/individuals who can help promote their brand/products.

Most times in order to sign up as a blogger for a sponsorship network you have to fill out a profile detailing all of your information. This generally includes your social channels, follower counts, engagement info, contact info, etc.

Sometimes networks require you to have a certain amount of followers before you can even apply. Unfortunately, this has kept me from a few networks that I would really love to be a part of right now.

But, it’s ok, I will get there one day soon and that is exactly why I decided to come up with this list of blogging sponsorship networks for newbie bloggers to join. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

First, I want to share the networks that I have been accepted to and have already completed campaigns for and been paid by. Here are my current stats so that you have an idea of where I stand in terms of followers/reach.

Instagram: 10,045 followersย  (updated 8/24/20 – 59.300 followers)

Facebook: 405 followers (updated 8/24/20ย  1,488 followers)

Pinterest: 320 followers/92.5k monthly viewers and growing rapidly (I just started putting time into it and also using Tailwind – more on that later). (updated 8/24/20 – 3,800 followers)

Twitter: 15 followers (I don’t use this in any strategic way but I knew I needed to create an account because some networks require it) (updated 8/24/20 – 83 followers, still don’t really use it lol)

Blog: Pageviews/month: 19,00/mo. I have been revamping my blog in the last few weeks. My original theme was nothing but a headache and I’m certain was affecting my SEO. (Updated 8/24/20 – I took this SEO course in June and my pageviews are skyrocketing. HIGHLY recommend).

This should give you a pretty good idea of where I stand in terms of reach (total followers/views together).

Now I want to share with you the sponsorship networks that I have ALREADY completed campaigns through and have been paid by.

Sponsorship networks for paid blogging jobs I have worked with

1.) Linqia

Linqia is GREAT if you’re in the parenting/lifestyle niche. There are great campaigns geared towards these niches and depending on your reach and (after your first campaign) previous performance, the pay can be really good.

The pay is based on a pay-per-click scale. Update* – Linqia now also offers set-rate campaigns.

At the beginning of each campaign, you are given a personal link to use in all your social shares as well as a “click goal” (how many clicks you need to achieve to reach the highest payout possible).

A click goal is based on a few things.

  • If it is your first campaign they give you a click goal based on what they feel is proper for your following.
  • If you have already completed a campaign then your click goal is based on your reach AS WELL AS your previous performance.

For example, if your first campaign had a click goal of 100 clicks and you received 150 clicks then your next campaign is likely going to have a higher click goal. The higher the click goal the higher the pay.

I personally love this setup because the harder you work the more money you make. Perfect for us go-getters ๐Ÿ™‚

2.) Social Native

Social Native is great for new bloggers because it has campaigns available for so many niches. Not only that, but Social Native campaigns (generally) only require 1 Instagram photo. No blog post, no social shares, etc.

While the pay is very low it’s still a great way to get your foot in the door to start working with some big brands like Lays, Lululemon, Clinique, Sucrets, and more.

It’s so good for your blogging experience to work with brands like these!

3.) Heartbeat.co

This platform pays the absolute lowest and to many, it’s not worth the time. However, if you’re a brand new blogger with no past campaign history it’s a great way to get started.

The campaign requirements are generally very simple (all mine have been 1 Instagram post) and they will email you when they think you are a perfect fit for an upcoming opportunity.

4.) Izea

This platform also has opportunities for virtually any niche. I was signed up with the free plan for quite a few months and still hadn’t received any offers. I decided to give the $1/month plan a try and literally 2-3 weeks later received a direct offer for an UH-MAZING campaign that fit my niche to a T!

5.) Activate

While this network is definitely a little tougher for a newbie blogger it is definitely still one to join. Many of the campaigns require a large following and/or blog pageviews however, not always.

I applied for DOZENS of campaigns before ever receiving one but the one that I did get was absolutely perfect for me!

I have only done one campaign via this platform so far but it was very organized and payment came exactly on time.

6.) Influence.co

Influence.co is great because it is yet another network that offers campaigns for a variety of niches. I have seen everything from children’s products to fitness/health products to apparel, etc.

You simply scroll through the available opportunities and apply as you see fit. I have landed some great campaigns here for both fitness and parenting.

7.) FitApproach

If fitness/wellness is a main topic on your blog I highly suggest hopping on the Fit Approach Network.

There are some really great apparel/wellness item opportunities and the owners are so helpful and always available for help when needed.

8.) ShoppingLinks

This platform mostly offers payment in kind however, I have seen Nordstrom on there so it’s worth signing up if you’re a newer fashion/lifestyle blogger!

I’ve done 2 product trades via this network and both were very easy.

9.) Social Fabric

Social Fabric is one of my favorite platforms! If you’re a lifestyle/parenting blogger there are SO many opportunities.

There are quite a few important directions involved in each campaign but all the info you need is right in your dashboard so it’s very easy to go back in and check to make sure you’re completing your tasks properly.

Payment varies greatly from job to job but once you do complete a task the payment is very quick!

10.) Massive Sway

The pay isn’t amazing but it’s very organized and directions are laid out clearly.

11.) Socialix

I’ve only done 1 campaign with Socialix and it has been one of my favorite recent campaigns! The directions I was given were very clear, everything was very organized and I was paid VERY quickly.

You deal directly with the brand/company so you don’t have to worry about drafts/revisions. I highly recommend it!

12.) TapInfluence

It took me FOREVER to get a campaign offer through Tap! But I will say it was very well organized and I really enjoyed it. If you sign up and don’t get any offers I suggest reaching out to a contact there and introducing yourself, ask for insights, etc.

13.) Muse

I love Muse! It took quite a few applications before I was accepted to my first campaign but I LOVED working with them on each one since. All the campaign managers I’ve dealt with have been exceptionally helpful, friendly, and flexible.

I can’t say anything but great things about this platform. It’s also name-your-price so you can insert what you would like to be paid vs. them telling you what the rate is.

14.) Buzzoole

Another great platform that allows you to name your price. I’ve worked on 2 campaigns with them now so far.

The only downside is that it’s a bit unorganized. All communication/direction/revisions are done via email which can get pretty confusing after a while.

Having to go back and sift through all my emails gets time-consuming and messy. The pay is better than other networks though so if you can handle the way it’s run then you’ll be ok.

It’s also a bit confusing on when you can expect to get paid but I will say – I did receive payment for both campaigns without too much back and forth.

15.) Mom It Forward/Forward Influence

I just got done with my first campaign and it was awesome! I don’t believe they are all the same but this particular campaign asked for my rates which I much prefer over a set given rate.

16.) Clever

Clever is now one of my favorite platforms. With a very clear dashboard and instructions for each campaign, it’s pretty straightforward. The only downside is that the payout period is 60 days after the campaign’s end date.

17.) Aspire IQ (formerly Revfluence)

One of the best networks for paid blogging jobs on Instagram! Most campaigns give you the opportunity to input your desired pay as well as what you are interested in doing for the brand (Instagram post, blog post, etc.)

18.) Acorn Influence

I’m currently working on my first Acorn campaign. The details for the campaign are laid out on the site making it easy to keep track of required deliverables, due dates, etc. The pay is also good.

19.) Mometer

I worked with Mometer on a campaign around the holidays and it was great. The pay was fair and the deliverables were simple.

The only thing that I am not a fan of is that all communication is through email. I never prefer this because it’s hard to keep information organized this way, especially if you’re a blogger working on several/many jobs at once.

20.) Inda Hash

Inda Hash is great. You download the app and you can apply to campaigns right through there. It keeps everything organized and easy to find and you get paid very quickly post-campaign.

They do have a set rate in place but I always negotiate these as they are very low.

21.) Takumi

Takumi is another app where you can apply for opportunities. I’ve only done one campaign through Takumi but it was very simple, organized, and straightforward.

Most of the campaigns I’ve seen available are for kids/parenting (clothing, car seats, etc.) so it’s perfect for mommy bloggers.

22.) Influence.Pepperjam

I just completed my first campaign through the platform and I had a great experience with the brand I worked with. The platform itself though gave me quite a bit of trouble.

Influence.Pepperjam is a new platform so you can expect little issues quite frequently. I have a contact that I email whenever something isn’t working and he’s always very helpful. The pay was quick!

23.) Influence Central

I’ve now done 4 campaigns through Influence Central and all went very smoothly. Since all information is right on your dashboard, everything is very organized and easy to follow.

I definitely recommend this platform for new bloggers. However, if you’re a more seasoned blogger the pay is quite low and I’ve never seen a campaign that’s been negotiable in terms of pay.

24.) Tomoson

I have completed 2 campaigns with Tomoson. In Tomoson you talk directly with the company/brand that you apply to and negotiate without Tomoson being involved.

The pay was quick but I will say I have applied for TONS of campaigns and have only gotten 2.

25.) Cohley

I’m currently working on my first campaign through Cohley. Often the rates are very low but you can negotiate on some of them.

All correspondence is kept in your Cohley dashboard so it’s very easy to keep track of deadlines, etc.

26.) Obvious.ly

I haven’t done a campaign through this platform in a really long time but the deliverables are typically 1 post or 1 post and 1 story with minimal requirements. Pay isn’t the highest but the deliverables are pretty simple.

27.) Popular Pays

I find the campaigns on this network to have too many requirements and specifics for me. However, almost every campaign I’ve seen listed has been name-your-price which is great!ย 

28.) Fohr

I’ve been a member of Fohr for a while now and I’ve only received 2 paying opportunities but both were great pay. However, these opportunities are more geared for Instagram than blog content so if you have an Instagram that associates with your blog, I would definitely sign up.

The payout is 60 days though which is really long in my opinion.

29.) Megaphone

This platform sends you emails with opportunities you can apply for. The ones I’ve done have been very simple and straightforward.ย 

30.) Insense

Insense is an app that offers opportunities for paid content, but again mostly Instagram. You submit your own offer and price directly to the brand.

There are video opportunities, stories, in-feed posts, and even content to be used by the brand without your need to post.

I’ve done 3 campaigns through the app and all were very straight forward and payment was received quickly post-completion.

31.) Ambassadher.co

This is a good one for the very beginning stages of your blogging/influencer career. The pay is much less but the products are often great and it’s a good way to get your foot in the door.ย 

32.) PTPA Media

I’ve only done one campaign through this platform but it was a 3 part campaign and it paid relatively well.

You can negotiate your price and deliverables directly via the campaign manager.

Sponsorship networks for paid blogging jobs I belong to but haven’t worked with yet

  1. StyleHaul

  2. Blog Meets Brand

  3. One2OneNetwork

  4. Socialyte

  5. Find Your Influence

  6. Hypefactory

  7. Cooperatize

  8. Webfluential

  9. Ritual Network

  10. Vetterviewย 

You can see that the list of networks for paid blogging jobs that I haven’t worked with yet is pretty long. While it may be on the easier side to get into some of these it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get opportunities right away.

I still suggest signing up for these networks because you never know when some paid blogging jobs might pop up that fit your niche!

Sometimes brands aren’t looking for influencers with the largest following and instead have a different market they are trying to reach (location, etc.).

With that being said, I do think you have a greater chance of receiving paid blogging jobs if you have a presence on the 4 main social channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest).

I hope this list of sponsorship networks for paid blogging jobs makes it easier for you to search for and apply to opportunities.
