🌠Which Influencer Networks to Join to Make Money as a Blogger?

Pin It

I’ve been blogging for almost 9 years on Freebies4Mom.com and I’ve adjusted from making my income primarily by affiliate marketing to making my money as an influencer. The key to my success as an influencer is to belong to several influencer networks that connect brands with bloggers. Here is the list of inluencer networks that I work with. I know that there are many more, but these are the ones that I have experiences with and would recommend to others.

 *

Social Fabric – owned by Collective Bias, this is my favorite influencer network to work with because they invest in your training. I’m able to make a living as an influencer primarily thanks to the training that Social Fabric provided me with. They taught me how to take pretty recipe photos and how to “wow” the client with over-the-top sponsored posts. They are the only network I know of that hires Twitter Party hosts, all the other networks appear to only hire panelists.

 *

Tap Influence – my favorite influencer network for how their system works. Companies shop their marketplace of influencers and offer them jobs based on their published rates. I get a high volume of work from Tap Influence and they have been great at helping me set competitive rates to make me an attractive influencer in their marketplace.

Massive Sway – I was lucky to get to attend one of their conferences in Dallas and hear the co-founders speak. I love working with them, especially on unique campaigns like the Viva Vantage campaign which involved attending a get-together at a fellow blogger’s home in Houston.

 *

Acorn – they don’t have a high volume of campaigns, but I really enjoy working with them because they probably have the clearest instructions (because everything is in one place).

 *

Clever – formerly Clever Girls, they probably have the largest volume of opportunities and I do a lot of social sharing for them.

 *

BlogHer – they used to be my ad network, but now their one of my influencer networks. I get mostly small social sharing jobs from BlogHer.

*

She Speaks – what I like about She Speaks is that they do a lot of social campaigns that pay well because they are asking you for a series of posts and they send you a lot of traffic to the sponsored posts you do for them.

 **

Best Buy Blogger Network – they only pay in Best Buy gift cards, but this is how I pay for Christmas! I get mostly social campaigns, but a few blog posts too about various products they sell.

*

Mom It Forward – they pay me to be a panelist at their weekly #gno Twitter Parties.

 *

iConnect – I get a lot of small jobs from them and get paid to be a panelist at Twitter Parties.

 *

Influence Central – formerly Mom Central, they offer a lot of smaller opportunities with brands.

*

Linqia – they are unique because they pay-per-click with a maximum earnings. I love that it is performance-based (and I always blast through the maximum clicks), but I rarely get campaigns from them.

*

Social Stars – I don’t get many campaigns from them, but it’s worth joining their network.

*

Global Influence – I’ve gotten a few smaller campaigns from them.

*

Fresh Press Media – in this network rather than apply, you bid on work with your fee.

 *

Kasai Media – great network for personal finance or frugal lifestyle bloggers to join.
