I've gotten a lot of questions (online and in real life) asking how to monetize a blog. Finding sponsors (aka companies that want to pay you for a blog post) is an important step in turning your blog into a full time job. One way to get sponsors is to contact individual companies that you're interested in partnering with. Another (easier) way is to join a sponsor network.
Massive Sway: Lots of good campaigns from a variety of different sponsors.
Clever Girls Collective: Plenty of varied campaigns from food to beauty to home improvement.
Activate by Bloglovin': This network is relatively new and new campaigns are only posted a few times a month. I haven't found campaigns that are an appropriate fit for the blog just yet, but it doesn't hurt to be a member.
Pollinate Media: They require 20,000+ pageviews a month to join. They send a weekly email with several available campaigns.
TapInfluence: You fill out a profile, link your blog and social accounts and they'll contact you when they've match you with an interested sponsor.
I just discovered and signed up for these networks this week, so I don't have any experience with them yet. They looked promising though!

Thanks so much for the info. I really want to take my blog to the next level. I just bookmarked this post.
Bookmarked this too!
Oh one question, how do you know how much $ to charge for a sponsored post?
For almost of the networks the price is set by the company which takes a lot of the guesswork out. In my experience, the prices have been very fair. Hope this helps!
What a helpful post, thanks!
