Welcome back to Missmv.com blog. Today I have decided to write this article to answer your question of how to get sponsored posts for your blog since many new bloggers are struggling to monetize their website. Discover a full list with platforms to get paid sponsored posts for your blog and social media.
Creating a blog is one of the easiest and most exciting things, especially if you already have a social media fan base. I always advise every aspiring blogger to start a personal blog.
I wrote a detailed article where I explain why you should invest in a blog rather than social media and how vulnerable you are if you rely purely on social media to make an income.
Blogging has changed a lot since Justin Hall gave life in 1994 to what is called today “A blog” At that time, he was only posting about his daily activities, just as you write a journal.
In the following years, many people realized the potential of owning a blog. Just before we got hooked up to social media, the blogging world was booming, and everyone was promoting cheap affiliate programs like crazy.
Once people felt the joy of swiping on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, they forgot about blogs. Many content creators abandoned their websites, searching for methods to monetize their social media pages.
How to get sponsored posts for your blog
We all know that posting content on social media is easier than writing a blog post, but not every blogger quits posting quality content on their website, and that’s proved by doing a quick search for any topic.
The first results will probably be Google ads, followed by blog posts created by professional bloggers who stick with their goals and turn their blogs into profitable businesses.
Nowadays, things overturned, and millennials are becoming more interested in spending time on a blog because they love consuming quality content or want to start a personal blog.
The reasons to create a blog are endless, maybe you have deep knowledge about a topic and what to share those secrets with others, or perhaps you want to supplement your monthly income while doing what you like. Either reason, let me tell you that blogging is a fantastic world that opens many opportunities to make a living.
As a new blogger, it might be hard to kick off your website and make money, but the good news is that you can actually make money blogging if you focus on a specific niche and post consistent articles in a short period of time.
For example, if you have a passion for everything related to hair, hair care, and so on, there are many chances that a company will contact you to write a sponsored post on your blog. Now enough writing about blogging, now let me show you my methods to get sponsored posts for your website and social media.
Ads networks for blogs to earn money:
- Google AdSense
- Mediavine
- Media net
- Ezoic
- Outbrain
- Taboola
- BuySellAds
The best blogging networks to get paid campaigns for your website
Intellifluence
Intellifluence is my number one platform to get paid sponsored posts for my blog and social media. The platform itself is very easy to use, it has a great reputation, and it always pays on time, directly into your PayPal account.
When you join Intellifluence, you have many options to make money, and one of the easiest is to refer influencers and brands to join the platform. For every influencer you register and completes their profile, you will get paid $0,25. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but this is just an extra option to earn money by simply posting your referral link on your blog or social media.
To stand out from the competition, add all your social media pages, including TikTok, Reddit, Linkedln , and many others.
Get blogged
Get blogged is another platform to get paid to write sponsored posts on your blog. I really like this network, but it seems a little crowded and very competitive, and the payment is not the best. It appears that domain authority is very important on the GetBlogged platform to be approved for campaigns.
If your blog has a domain authority of more than 30, a brand will offer more money for a sponsored post, and you have less competition since not many blogs reach this kind of authority.
I strongly suggest being patient, building your authority, and joining this platform. You will do exactly the same work as a blog with lower DA, except that you will get better paid and won’t impact your SEO ranking since your blog will be well established.
Fiverr
Just ignore the name. You won’t be paid $5 for a blog post. Fiverr is a platform where you can create as many gigs as you like and charge as much as you like. From guest posting on your personal blog to writing SEO articles for other publications, you can get paid up to $70 – $100 per job.
To get an idea of how Fiverr works, register and check other sellers to see what services they sell. To get some reviews, you should list your gigs for a cheaper price and increase the amount you want to get paid when you feel comfortable enough that you can deliver awesome work.
Fiverr is a great platform to start when you are a new blogger looking to make money. Other than guest posting, create a separate gig for an Instagram shoutout or posting on social media.

BlogmeetsBrand
This platform looks very interesting, with campaigns from crats to beauty and digital products. Although I just joined BlogMeetsBrands, I already got notifications about campaigns.
I like to make it clear that I don’t accept all kinds of collaborations, and I only pick the ones that resonate with me and my audience you should do the same if you want your blogging career to go a long way.
Acorn Influence
Acorn influence works similarly to Intellifluence. Both platforms have the same features, except one has better campaigns than the other. It won’t hurt to join it and list all your details. The more networks you join, the more chances you have to get sponsored blog posts for your blog and social media.
Izea
Izea looks a bit confusing and quite limited to making money as a content creator. They have a free plan and two options to upgrade your account to unlock the access the full, which I find unreliable. As a content creator, you shouldn’t be charged for joining a website to get jobs. I understand if you get charged a commission once you complete a campaign, but not a monthly membership.
Bloggers Required
This website is a great option for new bloggers and those who accept products in exchange for a blog post or social media post. Once you register, you will receive emails about assignments every week. Feel free to apply for a campaign that suits you.
Facebook groups for finding collaborations with brands
There are awesome Facebook groups for bloggers to get paid sponsored posts. Here is a list of a few that you should join and connect with professional people like you:
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/influencersandbloggers/
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1442403722481438/
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/bloggeropportunities/
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKBloggerOpportunities/
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/429320147435037/
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/instagraminfluencersunite/

Pitch to brands directly
You probably heard this before but haven’t taken serious action to build brand partnerships. An easy way to find brands to pitch is to write down some advertisers that Google AdSense is displaying on your blog and contact them directly to offer sponsored posts for a fixed sum( they will be more than happy to pay one time and get results for their business).
Another way to get sponsored posts for your blog is to pitch to a brand you already use for its products. Look around your house and see what brands you own and products you consume, and contact them to arrange a content placement.
ProBlogger
ProBlogger is a straightforward platform to find freelance jobs from writing articles to designing logos and creating social media content for brands. To make some extra money along with your blog, Problogger is an excellent way to test your writing skills and get some experience as a blogger.
Contact the brands you have already worked with
Contact the brands you already worked with and ask if they need extra work. Maybe offer them an advertising package that they cannot resist (posting on your blog, social media, and a YouTube video, you decide your price and leave room for negotiations).
Keep an eye on blogging events
Do you know that there are many events for bloggers to meet up and network, exchange ideas, and discuss new trends every week? On Eventbrite, you have the chance to join exclusive events where bloggers, influencers, photographers, and PR agencies meet with brands to discuss possible collaborations.
If you’re a new blogger, meeting face-to-face with a PR recruiter might sound intimidating, that’s why is better to connect with other bloggers first, and learning from others will make your blogging career progress faster. Once you become confident in your blogging skills, try your luck at blogging events, who knows, it might be a life-changing decision.
some tips before you decide to accept sponsored posts on your blog
Focus on one thing at a time
You should focus on one thing at a time, meaning you should not start writing random articles or giving random reviews for different things. Sure, it’d help if your blog had a good reach, but all good blogs and startups succeed when they focus on one thing.
This will boost your blog reach and will definitely urge the sponsors to line up to your blog. For example, suppose your blog is only about gadgets and video camera reviews. In that case, enthusiasts will surely visit your page to learn more about the product, all the technical details, and the pros and cons of owning such a product.
After getting enough recognition and credibility for your posts, you can maximize your output and write about other things too. Is best to write at least 10 articles for the same topic in order to gain SEO power for your blog. Repeat that for every topic, and you will be a successful blogger sooner than you might expect.
Create a media kit
Be sure to create a media kit, which is basically a short form of every type of niche you can perform through your channel. This can include your work type, audience, social media pages, payment methods you accept, and any other general information your sponsors should know about.
The media kit will be a PDF or an image file and should be as attractive as possible while delivering the most information. You can easily create a media kit using Canva for free.
Improve your SEO
SEO can be the engine of your blog to make it successful because the main traffic source is Google. If you take my advice and invest heavily in SEO, you will avoid the headache later on.
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization – is a set of rules and regulations that must be followed to rank better on Google. If you improve your SEO, the chances of getting a company to sponsor your posts will improve substantially.
If SEO is done professionally, there are good chances that your articles can be picked up by major publications too, and all the hard work will be better paid off and you will become an authority in the web world.
Add traffic to your website
Improving your SEO is fine, but as long as the traffic coming to your website is not good enough, no one would want to partner with your blog. Traffic doesn’t mean the robots and crawlers that are roaming around your website, the traffic that comes from real people searching for a specific keyword and visiting your blog to find more or learn something from your articles.
A good idea to drive traffic to your blog is Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook groups. You need to create attractive images and use keywords in social media posts to help people to discover your content.
Pinterest is bloggers’ favorite platform to have their content discovered. All you have to do is to create pretty Pins, add SEO descriptions for every Pin and be active, and engage with other pins (follow, save pins, and send thank you messages to followers).
There are multiple ways to use Pinterest to build your audience. You need to have patience, be creative, and follow the rules in order to stay safe on this social network. You can also join Tailwind to speed up the process of going viral on Pinterest.
Conclusion
If you want to make a career out of blogging and look to become a full-time blogger, you have to arm yourself with all the tools available to stand out from the competition. Blogging is a tough world, and you need an extra source of income before relying totally on sponsored blog posts.
