With a new blogging year upon us, many bloggers are trying to find the best places to get sponsored work, and figure out which blogging networks are still relevant for sponsored posts this year.
This list includes only networks that I have personally received sponsored work through in the last year. I hope it helps you on your own blogging journey!
Some of these links are referral links, meaning I may get a commission if you sign up or get work through my link.
IzeaIzea – Great for sponsored blog posts and individual sponsored social media posts too! I have been working with this company for several years and love them!
Everywhere Society (I’d love it if you list me, Paula Rollo, as the person who referred you!)
Activate/Bloglovin – Formerly Sverve, activate is another network that has individual tweets/social media opportunities as well as sponsored posts.
While there are more networks that I have worked with in previous years, these are the ones that I have found work with thorughout the last year.
If you are signed up for these networks, but still struggling to get as many sponsored posts as you would like, there are a few things that might help!
It could be as simple as your profile not being filled out to the fullest. Take some time this week and go through each of your sponsored post networks to check your profile and be sure it’s showing the correct information.
Look for things like:
- Updated stats and numbers
- A profile picture
- A good description of your blog’s topics and your target audience
- Keyword-rich tags
- Connected social media platforms
If any of these things are missing from your profile, you might be missing out on sponsored work with your blog!

Paula,
With Izea – – do you personally pay to be a member & get the sponsored opportunities?
Paula says
The $1 gives you more bids. Just start paying for it when you need to bid more :)
I do the $1 a month one.

Hey, Paula. Thanks for the great list! You said you love working with Izea, which you listed first. Care to elaborate on why you love the company?
Paula says
I have been working with them for years. They are wonderful people, very professional they always pay on time and give room for the blogger to be creative. It’s an awesome company!

I don’t get much that is a fit for my niche through IZEA. I always see things for companies like CORTS Furniture and other organizations that just don’t fit for beauty and lifestyle. Many companies I’ve never heard of. Do you get a lot of popular companies through that platform?
Thanks so much!
