Talking about subjects I’m very passionate about, making money blogging (with a small following or as a micro influencer) is probably part of my top 3. Today I want to share a new guide that I’ll be adding articles and resources to the next few weeks to help you make money with your blog if you have a small following.
This post is an updated version of my post with 50+ blogging networks to join, as the market is always changing and there are SO many influencer agencies now.
I have listed the top 20 agencies that have landed me or people that I know big bucks. I think the correct term now is something like ‘influencer agency’ and not ‘blogging network’.
You can make big money with sponsored content, ugc creation and company collaborations. Your personal brand is worth a lot.
But what if companies don’t approach you?
You can approach them.
But as a blogger with a small audience, it’s more likely they will sell you a ‘no, not yet’ than a ‘yes, great let’s go’ But there are other options, you just have to know where the brands are that are actively looking to work with bloggers!

A house, routine, and greater goal to work towards. Building my business. Settle down. The Great Things Of Life. And so with early retirement to feel completely free. I am now often dependent on the evenings or weekends, taking vacation and planning and the feeling of being completely free is wonderful. Because fair is fair. Even when I’m free, I still think about my company and post on social media “because of the algorithm I have to.”
Lately the F.I.R.E. movement is gaining popularity. F.I.R.E. is the abbreviation for Financial Independence Retire Early.

And I’ve never written about it on my blog so it’s about time! My FIRE plan looks something like this:
