Joining blogger networks is a great way for bloggers to work with brands. These networks act as the "middleman", providing bloggers with opportunities to participate in compensated brand campaigns that they may not be able to land yourself. As a blogger, the more networks you join, the higher your chances of working on some pretty awesome branded campaigns!
I'm a member of some of these blogger networks. Some do offer more paid sponsored campaigns than others and most of the time, you get invited to participate in these campaigns via email. If your profile fits the demographics they're looking for, chances are, you'll get hired to participate in these campaigns.
Note that most of these networks look for blogs that are at least 6 months old, offer great quality content and already has a fair amount of readers or followers on their blog as well as on the major social media networks like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, among others. So if you think your blog meets these guidelines, go join!
Below is a list of 25 blogger networks to join, if you want to start working with brands and get compensated for your time and participation.
1. Influence Central - Formerly Mom Central, this network works with many top brands like Hasbro, Baskin Robbins, Kohls, Dove, Target, Vtech, and more.
2. Massive Sway - This network is run by the wonderful ladies of The SITS Girls. They do a lot of social media opportunities as well as blog campaigns. Brands they have worked with include Pepperidge Farm, Graco, Dove, Sears, Sara Lee, Walgreens, and more.
3. Social Fabric (or Collective Bias) - This blog network works quite differently from all the rest. They require a good number of page views and following, but sometimes accept people based on other demographics. Their campaigns, called shopportunities, require you to shop for the product before you write you post. A stipend is given and they pay more for parties and videos!
4. Pollinate Media - This network always has nicely paying offers. Brands they have worked with include Nestle, Tyson, Huggies, K-Mart, and more.
5. Linqia - This network pays on the number of clicks you bring to links you add to your blog posts. To sign up, you must have 2500 unique monthly visitors, be in the US or Canada, and post to your blog at least once a month.
6. Tapinfluence - This network has its own platform where you can write your post to ensure it meets their standards. They pay very well, based on your page views and following.
7.One2One Network - This network sometimes has unpaid sharing campaigns but they do paid opportunities too. Brands they have worked with include Dove, Barilla, and Johnson's Baby.
8. SheSpeaks - This network has some of the easiest campaigns for bloggers! One was about pinning 5 links and earning $50. That was not even 10 minutes of work!
9. Activate by Bloglovin' - This network has some very high paying opportunities. They do regularly blog post campaigns as well as social media only opps sometimes.
10. BlogHer - This network usually only has social media opportunities, and they may be low paying for some. Eight tweets pays $50, but they only take 15 minutes to schedule via Hootsuite or a similar program.
12. The Motherhood - Another network that does campaigns sporadicly. They are usually high paying and with known brands like Carter's, Listerine, Kellogg's, Vicks, McDonalds, and more.
13.Fitfluential - This network is perfect for health and fitness bloggers! Those topics don't have to be all you blog about, but you should publish them regularly to be part of this network.
14. Blog Meets Brand - This growing network offer bloggers access to the latest promotions, connections to leading brands, a chance to build their portfolio and find new professional opportunities. I've been personally invited to a few campaigns from this network and they are very easy to work with.
15. Brandbacker- This network also offer blogger weekly opportunities for free samples, paid posts, discounts & more! In my opinion, they have more free product samples than paid campaigns but it's sti;l worthwhile to join if you like sampling/testing new products.
16 Clever (Formerly Clever Girls Collective) - This network regularly features blog and social media campaigns. You must install their code on your blog so they can track the number of visitors you receive.
17. IZEA - This network requires you to bid for opportunities. However you may get a direct offer from brands too. There is a free option for this network as well as paid options.
18. MomSelect - This network mainly offers product reviews and in-home parties. Sometimes there is a monetary payment involved on top of the products you receive. They also do ambassador programs such as the Chick-Fil-A Mom's Panel.
19. Everywhere Agency - This network offers high paying opportunities for bloggers with an established following. Campaign applications are sent out once a month, and you will be contacted if you are accepted. Brands they work with include Carter's, OshKosh, Macy's, and Mattress Firm.
