Most blogger start their blog as an hobby or part time work and when their blog become an authority and increase in blog pageview, there is a need for you to find a way to monetise your blog.

The higher your domain authority, the higher the chance of your sites having a higher ranking in search engine. Though Google has comes out to claim that there are different metrics that they use in ranking of sites. Nevertheless, you need to increase your domain authority. You can increase your domain authority by:

Once, your domain authority is greater than 30, the chance of landing sponsored post increases. Though some blogging network sometimes accept sites with lower domain authority.
Another factor that increase your chance of landing sponsored post very fast is an increase in site traffic. Most blogging network accept sites with more than 20,000 visitor per month. You can increase your site traffic by:

- Share your blog post to your social media account. Popular platform to use is Pinterest where you create high quality pin and share it to your board.
- Include long tail keywords with low competition in your post to increase the chance of your post being in page 1.

These are some great networks for bloggers, especially those who fall into their target market. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a lot of luck with them due to a combination of my niche and the fact that I live in Canada. That being said, I know of some beauty and fashion bloggers in both the US and UK that are doing GREAT there!
