If you’ve got an audience, or you’re building one, and you’re putting in the work, let’s start getting you paid.
Today’s lesson: Influencer Marketplaces
What’s an Influencer Marketplace?
It’s like a dating sites, but for content and collabs.
An influencer marketplace is a platform that connects creators and brands.
On one side, brands use these tools to post campaigns, find creators, and manage partnerships.
On the other side, creators (that’s you) can join these platforms, apply to paid opportunities, get discovered, and even set your own rates in some cases.
Influencer Marketplaces You Can Join
Below is a list of real, brand-facing influencer marketplaces.
This is by no means an extensive list. If you're a creator using a marketplace not listed here, or you're a company that wants to be included, reach out to me. Happy to keep this growing.
Disclaimer: I don’t officially endorse any of these. I’ve tried some, not all, and the info comes from public sources. Please, please do your own research and go with what feels right for you.

Before You Sign Up: Try to Get These in Place
You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to look and be ready.
Consider making the following:
- A simple media kit or one-pager (Canva makes this easy)
- Collect a few strong, recent posts that show your niche and style
- A bio that tells brands what you do, who you speak to, and why they should work with you
Don’t overthink it. Just be clear and confident.
And if you need help, I’m here for that too.
