Of course, you can make money with sponsored content, banner ads, and company collaborations. But what if companies don’t approach you? You can approach them.

I created a free email course about this topic. You can sign up here. Or you can join one of the 50+ blogger networks I listed in this post.

A game changer for me? Contacting these companies yourself, introducing yourself the right way and get to know them, as much as they get to know you (and your stats!).

How you do that? I devoted a whole module about this in my online courses, see my school.

Most blogger networks work with ‘pitches’. They provide assignments from companies and you can pitch as a blogger to participate. Sometimes they pay you with products, sometimes with cash.

Other blogger networks or agencies work like model agencies: you join them and they’ll hook you up with assignments. These are the deals you wanna go for if you wanna make big money, but it’s hard if you’re just starting out or have a small following.

Other options are paid review websites, who’ll pay you in change for a review about something and affiliate networks, they’ll pay you as soon as somebody clicks your link and buys something from the site it’s linked to.

The following links are a mix of multicultural networks, mom networks, fashion networks, paid review websites, affiliate networks, paid social media posts networks, US only or Dutch only networks. Just check them all out and start making money today!
