How To Get Paid Partnerships

Are you an influencer or blogger looking for more paid partnerships? Are you at a loss as to where to start?

I want to share one of the biggest ways that you can land partnerships…Influencer Platforms. First off, you could reach out to a brand directly offering your services, but that can be very overwhelming in the beginning. So a good starting point can be to utilize influencer platforms. This can help you find brands with upcomping campaigns.

So to begin I will share with you platforms that are exchange collaborations but also opportunities for paid partnerships as well.

EXCHANGE PRODUCT PLATFORMS

• Octoly Exchange Product collabs only. Here you will find a wide range of products to review mostly by posting to your feed. (example)
• Find Your Influence Mostly Product exchange campaigns. However it does deal with some bigger brands with better higher value items.
• Statusphere This platform provides monthly product exchange. Choose what products you want to try and post about to your instagram feed. Some options come with a small payment via Amazon gift card when completed. I love my monthly Statusphere box! (example)
• weSponsored Another great product exchange platform! Apply for products, agreeing to leave a Review, posting to stories, or posting to feed–there are lots of options depening on the product. Here you have a chance to earn a small payment for posting via Paypal. Here is an example of one of my collabs with them.
• Intellifluence Mostly product exchange opportunities, but there is potential to earn here as well. Ive only done one collab via this platform so far. (example)
• creator.co Has a lot of exchange products based on your following, and there is occasionally a paid opporutnity.
• Trendship Product exchanges only here and not a lot of new brands posted regularly. (example)

PAID PARTNERSHIP PLATFORMS

• Activate Paid Partnership campaigns! On this platform you will be able to apply with brands, by pitching your bid for what you would like to be paid for each campaign.
• AspireIQ You must qualify for this platform, apply and wait to be accepted.
• IZEA Worldwide Another great paid partnership platform where you can apply and bid on campaigns.
• Obviously I am actually working on a pretty great campaign with this platform and cant wait to share! This will be my highest paying partnership so far and Im thrilled to have this opportunity.
• #paid I dont know much about this one, I havent seen anything from them yet as far as opportunities go. Hopefully something comes from it! Worth checking out!
• Markerly Paid opportunities, but I havent had any yet. Still holding out hope!
• Influencify Another platform with great potential!

What other platforms do you know of? I know there are a couple others out there such as Grin and Cohley, but they seem to be a collective database and not a platform to apply to. I have done collabs through Grin, but its always been that the brand has reached out to me through them.
