When you first start out blogging, it’s hard to know where to go or how to go about doing sponsored posts. There really are a lot of Media Companies and Networks for Bloggers out there that will help you take out the guess work of having to contact a company directly and set everything up for a sponsored post. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a blogger that is just starting out, a blogger that has just decided to start monetizing your blog or a blogger that’s been doing it a while but wants to earn some more money blogging, you can work hard and find some great opportunities out there.
What’s great about these companies that they will tell you up front what your payment will be, when you post is due and a brief overview of what’s expected all before you even apply. I know that a lot of people get discouraged because a company never chooses them for an opportunity and I can completely understand the frustration. But, don’t stop apply to those places if you find an opportunity that speaks to you & is a great fit for your blog. There are three places on this list that didn’t choose me for anything for probably a good solid year. But, I didn’t give up or complain. I just started looking at the blogs that they DID choose to see what I could do to better myself and my blog.
Also, when a place asks you how you’re going to incorporate the product into a post, try to be as detailed as possible. If it’s a food product, don’t just say you’re going to make a recipe. Even if you don’t have an exact recipe in mind, describe how you’re going to make it into an authentic post (Using the product for an impromptu date night IN with your husband, using the craft item in a new and exciting way, maybe something that no one else might think of). They want to see how creative you are and want to know that you will work hard and make it into a story, not just a “sponsored post”.
So, here is a list of places that work with bloggers like us. Some are geared more towards a certain niche and some have affiliate programs where you can make a little money by sharing your referral link with other bloggers (I do have a few affiliate links in this post for those type of places). I hope that this list helps out some of you bloggers and I hope that if I have missed any, you will leave them down in the comment section so I can add them to the list!
On a side note, if you already have a blog or are thinking about starting one, check out SiteGround for all your hosting needs. It’s who I use & who I recommend. I switched over to them from a company that was awful and the difference was amazing! If you have any questions about their services, leave me a comment & I’ll answer it for you!
Sometimes there were be less than 80 links here & sometimes more. I am always going through and making sure all the links are still current. If I hear of another network, I’ll add it. On the other hand, if I hear that a network isn’t paying bloggers or are difficult to work with, I will delete them from this list until I hear otherwise!

Slap Dash Mom says
This is a great list! 🙂 I’ve been working on one of these for a while, I’ll have to remember to link back when it’s finally finished. 😉
Tara says
Let me know, Sadie and I’ll do the same for you! I’ve been working on this one far too long as well 🙂 Thanks so much!
Erinn S says
Wow! Thank you for all the hard work it must have taken to provide us this list!
Tara says
You are so welcome, Erinn! Thanks for stopping by!
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
Wow….that’s a massive list! I’m working with several of them, but there are many that I’ve never even heard of. I’ll have to sign up with them too! Thank you for such an awesome resource!
Tara says
You are welcome, Jenni!
Marielle Altenor says
I’ve been blogging for about 6 months and I’m always looking at way to get connect with companies! Thank you for sharing this list!!
Tara says
You are very welcome, Marielle! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Bill Hartzer says
What a great list, Tara. I’ve been blogging and creating sites for 20 years now, and there are a bunch of ones one your list that I haven’t heard of and am going to check out. Many I’ve heard of, like Sponsored Tweets, but just haven’t considered them yet.
Tara says
Thanks so much, Bill!
Migdalia - @StilettoChat says
Thanks for including the Stiletto Media Blogger Network!
Tara says
Absolutely! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Amy @ Oh So Savvy Mom says
Wow! This list is amazing! You know, I’m one of the bloggers that has been hoping that to find a list like this! Are you signed up/active with all of these?
Tara says
Amy, I am signed up with pretty much every one (except that ones that don’t fit me or my site). I would say I actively use and apply to about 20 of the companies 🙂 Some are just 1 or 2 time posts, depending on the subject manner.
Doreen Pendgracs says
Wow! Good on you, Tara, for making so many active and helpful connections. Thx for compiling this list. I will be happy to share.
debradiriwachter says
well thank you very much i love that theres people willing to help fellow bloggers thanks for your help i would not have known about some of these companys if it wasnt for this list again thanks from a fellow blogger..
Tara says
Absolutely! I really hope these help 🙂
Dana@chocolateandsunshine says
Thank you very much!! This is the most valuable post I’ve found on any topic of blogging yet.
I have a couple questions for you, if you don’t mind:
1. I’ve been blogging since Sept. 2013. I haven’t approached any company yet as I am trying to get my stats up on my subscribers and all of my social media. Would you have any suggestions that are very general, of course, on minimums needed?
2. I am having a hard time getting subscribers. I have more Bloglovin followers than subscribers. Any tips or suggestions? Again, what do you think would be a min. # here?
3. My blog focuses on home decor, chocolate recipes, vintage, family (teen girl & 27 yr old son starting his life). Any suggestions on your favorites to to try to connect with?
I realize this may be too much to answer in one comment and welcome any form of communication you prefer.
Big thanks!!!!!
Dana
I’m following YOU now on your social media.
Tara says
Dana,
I know that the minimum needed for each site varies. For instance, Pollinate has set a 20k UMV to be accepted, However, they just launched Weave Made Media for bloggers that have under that amount. Pollinate is a great place to work for for home decor/DIY/crafty/recipes so I am pretty sure that Weave Made Media will have a lot of great campaigns just like that too http://weavemade.com/. My DIY/craft blogger friends have liked Blueprint Social.
I started out as a mostly review/giveaway blogger so my subscribers mostly came from that. My email subscribers are pretty low compared to my other stats. I get most of my traffic from Pinterest so I focus on Pinterest a lot. I think if you spread yourself too thin in social media, you might miss out. I also love having a tribe of bloggers that share each others posts, tweets, pins etc., especially if people in your tribe are different niches than you because then your stuff is being seen by different readers than you’d be able to reach 🙂
If I think of more tips, I’ll email you 🙂 Loved your post on BBC! I went to the one in Dallas & learned so much!
Dana@chocolateandsunshine says
Dear Tara,
Thank you! You obviously have a very large blog and as such I am so impressed that you took the time to reply to my very long comment with many questions to provide such thoughtful answers. In general, bloggers are such a friendly and helpful group, although some more than others. Much appreciated.
Part of my issue with the low subscribers is that many signed up initially and then did not activate the subscription in their e-mail. I agree with spreading too thin on Social Media. Pinterest is my favorite and largest group, although have a way to go with it. Getting better with Twitter, too, although I prefer it to cheer for my favorite Voice singer! 🙂 So nice to meet you. I will return often. Glad you liked the SITS Girls post. I loved that group and yes, we developed a small tribe as a result.
Kisa Johnson says
Thank you so much! I haven’t heard of some of these so I am trying much luck. 😀 It can’t hurt to apply to ones that I am not sure I’ll be approved for, and better to try and get a no and maybe a few yeses than never try and get no place. ^_^;; at least, that’s what I am telling myself!
Tara says
Don’t give up, Kisa! Like I said, I just kept reading blogs that were wonderfully written, looked nice and seemed to get a lot of great offers. I’m still constantly learning & seeing campaigns I applied for and didn’t get and sometimes I will see what someone who did get chosen did or wrote about & think “Whoa! I never would have thought to do it that way or write like that!” We can all learn from each other 🙂
Ashley says
Awesome list! One you’re missing is SocialStars by CrowdTap.
Tara says
Thanks, Ashley! I will check them out!
Joy says
Thank you for the list! I found some that I had never heard of.
Tara says
You’re so welcome, Joy!
LeeAnn G Taylor {The Mosaic Life} says
Thank you so much for this list! I can’t imagine how many hours it took you to put this together. This is exactly the kind of list I’ve been looking for. I pinned it to Pinterest so others can benefit too!
Tara says
It took a long time but I’m so glad that people are finding it helpful! Thanks for stopping by, LeeAnn!
Organize 365 says

Thank you for the guide
Dolche says
Love this article thanks for sharing Tara. Reading article like these can motivate me to do more and more post on blog. If anyone want to share ideas on my blog. Please feel free to contact me At ([email protected]). I’m looking for some help. Thanks
Shelly says
Tara, thank you so much for putting this list together. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for!
Tara says
You are so welcome, Shelly! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Viktoria Michaelis says
A good and comprehensive list. I was, however, surprised to see that the book review sites all profess to be exclusively Christian, one even insists that no one other than those favorable to Christian works and thinking need apply. Surely there are a few others who do not have such a limited worldview.
Tara says
Viktoria, I’ll look into seeing if I can find some others. I’m not a book reviewer so I’ll see what some other bloggers say 🙂
keitha (The Bajan Texan) says
Awesome list! I havent monetized yet cause I am trying to build up my following. I would love to see a post on a list of forums or ways to increase your following!
Joan says
Thanks so much for this awesome list! I am a new blogger still figuring this new language / world out! Great resource!!
Tara says
You’re welcome, Joan! Welcome to the world of blogging 🙂

Thanks for the list 🙂
Tara says

Laura Hinckley says
Thank you so much! Impressive list and again thank you that must of been a lot of work. 🙂
Tara says
You’re welcome, Laura!
Paula Bendfeldt-Diaz says
Awesome list! Thanks for including Social Fabric / Collective Bias!
Tara says
Absolutely, Paula! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Heather Lopez says
I run a network called Bloggin’ Mamas.
Tara says
Thanks, Heather! Just found your site & will add it to the list 🙂
Heather Lopez says
I believe I still don’t see it on there Tara. Is it just my eyes?
Tara says
Just added it, Heather! Sorry for my oversight!
Eileen says
Hi Tara! Do any of these sites on the list accept bloggers from outside the US? I have done some work with TapInfluence, Sverve and SponsoredReviews. I regularly do Payu2blog too. I would want to have opportunities for product reviews, however, I think companies would not ship their products 2000 miles away. I would appreciate your feedback/ advice. Thank you.
Tara says
Eileen, to be honest I’m not certain. If I come across some I will definitely add them!
Diana says
I have a blog post going live tomorrow about tips to grow your blog and increase traffic. I’m going to edit it to include a link to this post. Thanks for doing the footwork on this!! 🙂 XOXO
Tara says
That’s awesome, thanks so much Diana!
Christine @MomsNCharge says
Great list, thanks for sharing! You should add The Black Family Blogger Network to the list 🙂 (www.facebook.com/blackfamilybloggernetwork)
Tara says
Christine, thanks so much! I am adding it right now 🙂
Jilleen says
Fabulous! Especially for a newbie. Thanks, Jilleen
Tara says
You’re welcome, Jilleen!
Jennifer says
Thanks so much for including Pollinate and Weave in your post Tara! We think you’re awesome!
Tara says
You are so welcome, Jennifer! Love Pollinate 🙂 (and excited to see all the work Weave does too!)
Alissa Circle says
Tara, thank you so much for including Pollinate and Weave on your list!! We appreciate all your support! xo
Tara says
Absolutely, Alissa! I’ve always loved working with Pollinate and so happy for you guys that you started Weave 🙂
Jodi Flaherty says
Fantastic list! Thank you!
Lori says
Thank you for this terrific list. I would add Savings.com to your list. They have a sponsored campaigns component along with coupons and promo codes. Everyone I have worked with at Savings.com is so supportive and friendly. It has become one of my favorite relationships.
Mommerce says
Thanks for listing us on this fantastic post, Tara! We’d love your fellow bloggers to join Mommerce and look forward to working with you on programs!
Kate says
AdvoWire.com is another great one to add to your awesome list. Thanks for putting it together. I can’t wait to check out some of these.
Nancy says
Thanks for this! Such a great resource. I’ve been blogging for a while, and have been curious about working with brands, but haven’t started yet. This is going to be so helpful!
I am curious about something — do bloggers who work with networks/media companies tend to sign up with many of them, or do they tend to work with just one or two?
Tara says
Nancy, I would say that bloggers have their favorites to work with but I have signed up for pretty much anyone I could find & was in my niche. You never know what kind of opps are going to come from a certain company (unless they only work with a certain niche) 🙂
Nancy says
Thank you for the response!
Yadira says
This is a great list. I would add http://SocialInfluenz.com for multicultural bloggers.
Tara says
Thanks, Yadira! I will add it now!
Joscelyn says
Thank you for including Mami Innovative Media and your work on putting together an all-inclusive list!
Tamara says
Thanks for sharing such great information. I have pinned & will be referring back to it time & time again!

Tina with http://www.gringoslocos6.blogspot.com
Rachel R. says
Great list! Thank you for taking the time and going to the trouble of compiling and sharing it!
Your images at the top of the page are overwhelmingly HUGE, though. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have a wide-screen monitor and I feel like they’re still crowding their way off every edge of my screen.
Tara says
Thank you for the compliments 🙂 And thanks for letting me know about the image. I have no idea why it was so big but I think I have it fixed 🙂
Rachel R. says
It’s much better now!
Catherine says
Great post Tara! I’m on the founding team of an all female led tech start-up delivering affordable+accessible home design to everyone. Would love to connect with bloggers who would like to do a mini-makeover giveaway. Ping me if you’re interested.

Natalie says
Wow Tara, thank you so much for this list! It is exactly what I needed to start myself on this blogging adventure over the next few months. The company I work for was acquired a few months ago and will be closing is doors and transferring all business elsewhere at the end of the year. It gives me the perfect opportunity to stay home with my baby and finish my degree online, but I’ll need some kind of income so this should help! Thanks again!
Tara says
You are so welcome, Natalie! Good luck!
Mitzi says
Sharing is caring, thanks for all the love! This type of information is hard to come by and shows that there’s room for us all on one level or another. Thank you for such a wonderful resource!

Tara says
You are so welcome, Jenny!
Hillary Marek says
Thank you so much! You have no idea (or maybe you do) how many bookmarks and pin’s I have dedicated to assimilate even a fraction of this list. You have literally given me back weeks of my life I would have otherwise spent on said task. I feel like I should bake you cookies or something. -Hillary
Tara says
You are SO welcome, Hilary! I love being able to help other bloggers 🙂
