Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pitch brands as a small creator?
Focus on the value you provide, not your follower count. Highlight your engagement rate, niche expertise, content quality, and audience demographics. A well-crafted pitch from a 5K-follower creator can outperform a generic pitch from a 100K-follower account.
How long should a brand pitch email be?
Keep it under 150 words. Brand managers receive hundreds of emails — get to the point quickly. Lead with who you are, what you offer, and why you're a good fit. Include a link to your portfolio or media kit.
Should I follow up if a brand doesn't respond?
Yes, always follow up. Wait 5-7 business days, then send a brief, friendly follow-up. Most successful brand deals close on the second or third email, not the first. Follow up 2-3 times maximum before moving on.
