I know how the bloggers market can be overwhelming, especially if you are just getting started with blogging. I was there too. I was researching how to find websites that make it easier to collaborate with brands who are willing to connect with small influencers (like myself) because I know many brands want to gift items to big and famous influencers on the market. So I’ve been told by my friends and other influencers that were nice enough to help get me started.
I wanna share my list of platforms and apps with you, that you’ll definitely want to sign up for if you don’t want to manually reach out to brands yourself.
I have another blog post that lists top agencies that primarily focuses on paid collaborations, but in this post I will share my list of paid and unpaid apps that help small influencers build their portfolio and enhance their collaborations. All of these apps focus on giving you products in return for a post.
Octoly – great app for beauty lovers. Lots of makeup for you to try.
For bloggers only – website with many different brands, mostly clothing/ shoes and jewelry who are looking for influencers that are willing to promote their brand in an exchange for the gifted products. Great opportunity to start building your portfolio. They also charge monthly fee membership which pays according to the value of products you will get.
Activate – great platform to get paid collaborations from world famous brands.
Reward Style – great app for fashion bloggers, who would like to promote tighter style and earn some money by using affiliation programs.
Clever – easy-to-use platform, works with major brands including Facebook.
Into app – is the great app with opportunities to get free food/drinks/gifts and services in specific cities in different parts of the word, whether it be Bali or Moscow or NYC.
Intellinfluence – paid and unpaid collaborations for big and small influencers.
BrandBacker – mostly beauty and wellness brands, your pay will depend on how big your following is.
BrandSnob – good app for small collaborations for up to 100$ per post.
Takumi – app with great brands.
Wellness Amplified – as you can guess this is a platform for wellness, fitness and health products.
Influenster – Great app if you just want to try new products in the beauty and wellness space in exchange for a review!
Heartbeat – a lot of food and drink campaigns, beauty and hair care as well. But don’t expect a big rate for your post, even for bloggers with a big Instagram following their is rate very small compare to the market.
I hope you will like this list and it will help you to get started as an influencer, also I have a blog post about how to start building your own brand on Instagram. There are some tips for those who are just getting involved in the market and trying to find a way to make their blog more appealing for brands and to find their niche.
