How to Land More Collaborations in 2021!
Gosh, it’s been nearly two years since I wrote this post about how bloggers make money, and already I have so much to add.
At the time I was knee-deep in affiliate programs and blog sponsorships. Since then and after joining many platforms that bring brands and influencers together, my opportunities (and cash) have multiplied month after month.
“It has always been my goal to either inspire, educate, or entertain with Chicks and Salsa.”
Many collaborations come through to my email. MOST I hustle for. The rest I get matched for on one of the platforms I am going to highlight below. Just as I did before I wanted to share all the platforms on which I have successfully landed paid and gifted collaborations with companies I love.
Here is a list of platforms that I highly recommend creating profiles on to get matched with companies looking for people JUST LIKE YOU. No audience is too small, engagement numbers are equally as important.
Once you have created your profile, it is easy! You just apply to campaigns you are eligible for or interested in and wait to hear from the brand.
Here they are:
I have worked with L’Oreal, Aveeno, Coola, GUIDE Beauty, Spa Science, KRIS Wines, and more via Aspire IQ.
I have worked with Hand in Hand, Hollywood Browzer, CVS, SIJO, Good To Go, and more via Cohley.
I can’t say enough about how much Fohr has taught me! They have excellent influencer-forward education that they share on a weekly basis on their YouTube channel. I also suspect that many of the emails that come to me with opportunities, come via Fohr.
I am new to this platform but they recently ran a campaign with BVLGARI and I was part of their KISS Nails campaign.
CLEVER has many awesome opportunities and works with many big names and familiar brands, however, I have been unable to land an opportunity with anyone yet (here’s to 2021!)
I discovered Shopping Links when we met with the founder at ThinkTank in Chicago in 2019. Since then they have partnered up with high-end brands like INTERMIX, NYDJ Jeans, Double Icon, and more!
MAVRCK recently partnered up with Express for their Winter Campaign, sadly, I was not part of this.
