There’s A New Brand Partnership App 👀

If you are ready to “Crack the code” on being a consistently paid influencer or creator & fast-track your path to engagement and follower growth…

WITHOUT…

Spending a fortune on courses, masterminds and coaching…

The anxiety and stress of brand deals and the constant need for growth…

The frustration of being inspired by content in your feed but having no idea how to produce or edit it for yourself…

Wasting anymore of your time or passion…

Struggling to “fly solo” and not understanding how to grow your engagement, following and consistently make content that performs well…

Learn how to land monthly recurring paid brand partnerships through the first creator audio education app powered by advanced AI technology, real time strategy updates, creator insights, and industry expert experience.

Get real-time relevant bite-sized sessions (100+ rn) you can listen to while you scroll through social so you can actually act on what you’re learning or listen on screen lock while on the go. Most are under 15 mins long.

Plus, inside there’s something called “The Creator Gear Fund” which is wild. A monthly scheduled giveaway of all the tech creators need to excel 😱

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 well—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.

I’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.

Don’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 4–8 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.

Life Update

I’m in Cali, Friends! ✌🏾

Ah, the never-ending hustle of New York. As someone who lives amidst the city's busy nature, taking a break and diving into the laid-back vibe of Palm Springs for a month felt like a complete dream.

But one minor hiccup was stressing me out: how to get my Husky safely there with me?

While most of us pet owners are aware of the risks associated with transporting our pets via plane cargo (not to mention the horror stories), the options often seem limited. And let's face it, the idea of putting my fur baby in a plane's cargo hold was a nightmarish thought.

Discovering CitizenShipper felt like a breath of fresh air. Their platform is designed to prioritize the safety and comfort of our four-legged friends. Rather than treating them like mere cargo, they understand that our pets are family. The process is streamlined, ensuring your pet is transported swiftly, safely, and without burning a hole in your pocket.

I can’t emphasize enough the relief I felt knowing my Husky was in good hands and that he was having fun. With live tracking, regular photo and video updates, and a clear sense of dedication, they transformed what could've been a stressful experience into a smooth journey.

For anyone looking to transport their pet, I wholeheartedly recommend @CitizenShipper. It’s a decision that blends practicality with the utmost care for your pet. As we bask in the Palm Springs sun, my boy by my side, I’m reminded of the value of services that put our pet’s well-being first. 🐶❤️

Here's to stress-free travels and many more #HuskyHolidays! If you value your pet's well-being as much as your peace of mind, trust CitizenShipper.
