Hi, welcome.
You've got a great list here including a few that I am familiar with and joined, and a number that I've never heard of before. You also reminded me of a few that I joined with my other blog and had no luck with (largely due to my niche, I believe) and would like to explore now with this one. Thank you!
Thanks for reading!
I love this. Thank you. How in the world do we know which is for us though? How do we know where to start? I’m new to this.
Hi Linda, I think it mostly depends on the size of your audience. Some of the networks here, will only work with you, if you have a reliable traffic flow to your website, and also a good following on your social media accounts.
