Sponsored Posts and Ambassador Programs
I plan on keeping this list of places to get Sponsored and Ambassador programs up to date, so this is a good one to bookmark.
Linqia: (one of my faves so far): Linqia helps brands share their stories and content with influential communities across blogs, facebook, twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, google+ and other social channels. We help community leaders earn money from trusted brands for sharing authentic and relevant stories.

Izea: IZEA helps connect brands with influencers for sponsored opportunities.
Coppertize: They aim to streamline the sponsored post process for you and the brands you work with. They have standardized policies around payment, content relevance, and backlinking so that expectations are made clear between brands and bloggers.
Advowire: The social promotion platform offers Advocates one-click earning capabilities.
MassiveSway: They have developed a proprietary, online blogger portal, known as iSway. It is a one-of-a-kind platform allows us to match brands with the online publishers they are looking for. Once you sign up, you will be able to select the opportunities that match your blog’s strengths and demographics.
Tapfluence: I just secured a sponsored review through them. I just recently signed up for this company so I don't know a ton about them, just that I am happy so far. My first review with them will be one to create tons of buzz.

Nice list - I belong to a few of them.
Jenn
Lovely list. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
David Fultner
That is a lot of things you thought of. Thanks
Nancy Gammon
I used to be part of so many of these. Also, have you heard of Social Fabric? You should join that one too, I had a lot of opp's when I lived in Canada. But unfortunately I cannot accept any form of payment now that I live here in the USA. Not yet anyway. Maybe sometime soon.
Chantal Bernard
Share a sale is one is am working with now. I look forward to going some of the other groups like blogher when my blog gets bigger/ I have been blogging longer... I am hoping to qualify in the next few months! Thanks for sharing, I am pinning this for future!
Kita Bryant
Great list. I have done a few of them my favorite is actually purex I love how they are set up with sending you a blog of the week that featured their product.
Jennifer Juro
This is a great list! I am always looking for new companies to work with. I had not heard of some of these before, several of these companies I have worked with a couple times.
Krystal Butherus
IZEA is one of my favorites. I am a part of Social Fabric and really like it. This is a great list. Clever Girls and Pollinate are good networks as well. Best Buy has a blog program too for gift cards in exchange for a review so that is a great option. Mums the Word is a new one. I will need to look into that one.
Laura Gallaway
I am definitely going to bookmark this. I have been doing sponsored posts for a couple years now and I think it has become a great way to support my family while also writing about what I love. I need to go ahead and sign up for the rest of the networks I am not a part of.
Rochkirstin Santos
This is a great consolidated list of all the resources and sites that are related to sponsorship opportunities. Connecting promoters and brand ambassadors will be helpful for companies and businesses especially for those who are just starting up with their marketing strategies. Stories and content will highly be appreciated.
Stephanie Pass
I work with many of these. I think my absolute favorite is Linqia. I love how they lay out all the information that you need to put it all together and never come back and say, "wait add this, too." And they pay super fast. I do a lot of work with Social Fabric as well. Though lately, I've had a huge increase in Tapinfluence work.
