You've grown to 18,000 followers and a healthy email list. Brand deals are slow, sponsored posts feel forced, and your audience would rather have a discount than another #ad. Social Perks fixes that.
Your readers earn real perks (discounts at restaurants you cover, free product from brands you partner with, exclusive event seats) every time they post about your recommendations. You recommend. They activate. You earn a share.
Free for 14 days, then $49/mo. Fair pricing for small operators. Cancel anytime.
Food bloggers are the missing link between brands and engaged audiences. Social Perks lets you monetize your influence directly — your audience gets real perks, brands get measurable activation, and you get a transparent revenue share.
Your audience signs up once and gets a wallet of perks across every brand you partner with. They earn perks for posting about ANY brand you've onboarded, not one-off offers.
20% revenue share on perks redeemed from your audience. Tracked transparently, paid monthly. No black-box brand-deal pricing.
We match you with brands fitting your niche (BBQ blogger gets BBQ-sauce brand offers, baking blogger gets flour and butter brand offers). You stay on-brand, audience stays trusting.
Every audience post auto-tags as paid partnership per FTC rules. No legal exposure for you, no shaky disclosures from your audience.

Branded prize package
Why food-blog audiences convert at higher rates than influencer audiences:
Your audience built up trust over hundreds of recipes. When you say a brand is worth it, they believe you. Influencer audiences don't have that depth.
Food blog readers come back weekly for new recipes. Each visit is a potential conversion. They're already in 'I'm cooking this' mode, perks just nudge them across.
Your email list is your audience's most engaged channel. Combining newsletter drops with social perks doubles activation versus social-only influencer deals.
No technical setup. No long onboarding. Just five small steps and you're live.
Sign up and connect Instagram, Substack/email, and TikTok
Get matched with 3-5 brand partners in your niche within 24 hours

Watch activations, audience growth, and revenue share roll in monthly
The specific concerns we hear from food bloggers before they start.
Sponsored posts pay you a one-time fee. Social Perks pays you a share of every redemption from your audience — recurring revenue tied to activation, not a flat post fee. Most bloggers earn more on perks than sponsored posts within 90 days.
5,000+ engaged followers across any combination of Instagram, TikTok, Substack, or email list. We weight engagement over raw follower count.
No. You approve every brand partnership manually. Decline anything off-brand, your audience never sees it.
Monthly via Stripe Connect. Dashboard shows exactly which posts drove which redemptions and your revenue share in real time.
Yes. If you already have brand relationships, you can onboard them directly to the platform and keep 100% of the relationship (we charge a small flat platform fee instead of taking a revenue share).
Audiences love perks because they're real discounts on things readers were already curious about. They feel meaningfully different from sponsored content. Audience retention actually improves.
No. Affiliate revenue and perk revenue stack. Many bloggers use both, with affiliate for evergreen recommendations and perks for activation drives.
