PITCHING TIPS

Aim to pitch packages that include high-priced items like videos (Reels, TikTok, and stories). Never just pitch a single feed post.

When pitching, go HARD on the specific value you will add to the brand with your content, engagement rate, experience, and community. Not necessarily your follower count.

Always try to stay in line with your niche, and when in doubt, ask your audience in your stories! "Hey guys, would you be interested in brand x? "Do you like brand x?"

Do a poll and let the numbers speak for themselves! That would be great data to share with the brand you pitch as wellā€”a screenshot of the poll results in their favor.

We created a NEW private Canva template that my students are currently using, and it POPS hard for brands.

Iā€™ve used it myself to land a deal worth over $3,500.

Want it?

Respond to this email.

As a baseline, the industry standard is $100 per 10,000 followers. This basic formula does not take into account video content, your engagement rate, niche worth, usage rights, expertise, or the time it costs you to put the deliverables together, all of which should be factored into your pricing.

Be prepared to negotiate, and always push for a little more than you think you can get.

Most 4-figure plus deals are landed on calls with a brand, not back and forth via email or DM, so always offer and encourage a meeting with the brand to discuss their campaign vision and current marketing goals.

Let your personality, readiness, creativity, and professionalism shine through.

You will get the best offer that is reflective of your current content quality, engagement rate, AND the strength of your pitch.

Donā€™t let this newsletter be your only source of opportunity. You should be actively looking for brands relevant to your niche and consistently pitching yourself every 4ā€“8 weeks to these brands.

And remember, if a brand says no, it's not a forever no, it's just no right now :)

I cannot tell you how many clients over the course of my career told me no/not interested during my first pitch.

I also cannot tell you how many creators I know who have landed pitches that the brand originally said no to.

The power is always in a well-executed follow-up and being able to prove your worth.

Don't wait for money to come to you, go to money.

Have an amazing day!
