As a blogger who makes a full time income through my blog and social media channels I’m often asked how to make money as a blogger. Today I’m going to share with you exactly who to work with (and why) to get paid.
IZEA
Izea previously known as Social Spark. New name and new platform. You can add your Google+,Twitter,Instagram,Blog,Vine,and more. You do not have to be only a blogger for campaigns and if you have a favorite social media form then you will be thrilled with the campaigns.
You make money by doing assignments and are paid out every 30 days. The prices change per client and you usually have a minimum amount they will take and a cap on their budget. You can choose what you would like to get paid, they have the option of not selecting you or trying to get you to lower your price to still work with you.
They have finally added a section to see when you will get paid by campaigns. There is a tiered level of paid membership as well if you want early cash-out and less fees. Or you can just have a free account and wait to have the minimum amount needed.
Clever Girls Network
I have had some really great campaigns through this company. Those Swiffer green boxes you have seen in commercials? One came to my door and everyone has been obsessed with it.
Payment is within 60 days usually and they send you a contract for each campaign that you are approved for. You know exactly what to expect from the campaign so there are no hidden surprises. They also have wonderful Twitter parties that I love joining in and meeting new CleverGirls.
Social Fabric
Social Fabric is so much more than just a brand to blogger network. They also offer amazing classes to take in their SoFab University. There is a conference to look forward to each year and they also have condensed the courses into a new conference called SoFabU on the Road! They are rolling out a new payment system that is suppose to have us paid faster, I can’t complain on the payment and I have had amazing campaigns through them. There is so much to learn from them.
One 2 One Network
Another wonderful network that offers paid campaigns. They also offer campaigns where you have the chance to earn gift cards. There is a wonderful spot on the site to look at different suggestions for ways to grow your social media and blog.
I have been lucky enough to get some big items from them, just recently a Graco stroller. This is definitely a company you should try getting in with.
Mode Media
Known previously as Glam, this network company offers connections to big brands such as Kellogg’s, Olay and more. They offer a wonderful way to earn money through your social media channels if you don’t have a blog or they usually offer you the chance of being able to sign up as a social promotion for the campaigns if you’re not selected with your blog.
You are able to keep track of your money through their Insider page and you have the ability of getting paid within 30 days with FastTrack however there is a fee.
MODE MEDIA WENT OUT OF BANKRUPT AND LEFT MANY BLOGGERS UNPAID. PLEASE DO RESEARCH BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR ANY COMPANY NOT LISTED OR EMAIL ME FOR MY OPINION
These are just a few of my favorite places to make money as a blogger.
Thanks so much for sharing this post – I have checked out a few of these websites and they have been really helpful so far. I really appreciate you sharing this!

You’re welcome Krystin! I’ll be adding another addition of companies to pay so stay tuned.
I have a question for you. How do you claim this income on your taxes? I just imagine with individual contracts with each of these places that it could be quite tricky to calculate.
Some of these companies give out 1099s and others I keep track of in my email and also on paper as a back up. There are a lot of great income tracking sheets bloggers have made, any time I get a new ‘job’ I write it down right away.
Thanks for this list! I will definitely be checking these out. Found you on the #MSAHA linky party. Thanks for sharing!

Great resource! I actually hadn’t heard of One2One. Another one I like is Pollinate and Influenster. Influenster just sends products I think but you also don’t have to be a blogger to participate.

I keep hearing about Pollinate so I will be checking them out. I think Influenster is great if you have the time to do their requirements but I’m so busy with clients that I don’t have the time anymore. I recommend it to bloggers however as a way to find structure if you want to do reviews for products so they can understand how they work and social media promotion too. And it’s great for anyone who likes free products in return for a little work.
It’s actually a great and useful piece of info.
I’m happy that you just shared this useful information with
us. Please stay us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
