I just reached out to 3 brands that I use their products regularly in my videos because I love their brand - really daunting to be honest! I was denied for 1, no response from the 2nd, and the third liked the collab idea and asked me - yes they asked me - how much I'd charge for a video on their channel! This happened today and I'm so nervous that I raised the bar too high with my asking price...we'll see how it goes, but this video helped ease my nerves because I think every creator can relate at some point that knowing your worth and value should start early! If you're serious about your channel, start early for sure. I wish I had.
Huge congrats on making that first step and pitching to a few brands! I agree it's super daunting however don't be put off if they try to negotiate you down or question your value - define you worth and stick to it!
Update - they worked with me on the collaboration and agreed to pay me what I asked for! 😁 Definitely worth reaching out to companies you love and would want to work with!
I’m reaching out to 3 brands right now and this video helped to get my nerves down and to understand the process more. If your thinking about taking your brand and your content serious then start now don’t wait. If someone say no then say okay and keep it moving there plenty of work out there just need to keep reaching out
So far I’ve gotten brand gifts at 1500 IG followers and 600 YT subs! I’m trying to utilize my photography skills and travel passion as part of my pitches!
I wanted to stop by and say I absolutely LOVE the information you provided in this video!! It gave me the courage and push to reach out to a brand I had my eye on for a while. The company is on the smaller side so they weren’t able to offer several free items in exchange for content but they did offer a lifetime discount code and 1 free item to begin the collaboration! 🤗 Thank you so much for creating this video! Please keep doing more! I am a small youtuber and have been trying to stay in the loop with both youtube and instagram to brand myself💕 You have helped a lot with my confidence to make that first step!
This was excellent! Awesome to hear it from someone who pitches and receives the pitches. I’ve been tailoring mine but the additional insights/content idea infusion is genius. I’m a certified financial educator in the personal finance space so it’s a little more rigid, but feels more possible now. Thank you!!
Jade thank you so much!!! This video is BEYOND insightful and has tons of calls to action. I just started making TIKTOK content (less than 100 followers, but growing everyday😄). Once I have more reach- im rewatching this video and getting the ebook ! Thank you so so so much! Cannot wait to apply all that I’ve learned from your video. Thanks a million!
This is the first time I saw a video from you and I enjoy it very much because I just got my first paid brand deal and I think I spelled myself short in terms of pay . But thank you 🙏 for the confidence that I do have now to not just sit and wait. As you read this I wish you nothing but the best for sharing such brilliant knowledge with a mom of 5 that don’t know her worth . Many blessings
I just started social media in January and got over 700,000 followers on TikTok and now I’m going on Instagram and RUclips I’m now about to start reaching out to Brand but I’m so glad that I listen to this video first

Hi Jade! I have scoured your website looking for the Influencer Hustle Kit and I am wondering if it has been discontinued and replaced with this option...
Can you do another video showing good and bad messages you have received? It’s really entertaining to see the bad ones lol but also informative to see examples of good and bad. Loved this video!
This is all great information. I just launched my channel a few days ago and I’m studying studying studying on everything I need to know. I know I’m a little bit from this step, but I’m manifesting it. Thanks for the info!!
Smashing video again 😍 So interesting to hear your perspective on the flip side and the types of messages you would/wouldn't respond to as a brand owner. Downloaded your guide too, that's tonight's bed time reading sorted ❤

Loved your video! I’m no where near close to what brands expect in terms of followers but hopefully I get there one day! Ur content was very detailed thank you for sharing everything 🙏🏽🤍
Thank you! I’m serious on taking my love for my passion and social media and leveling up and making a name for myself amen 🙏🏾! This was such a well detailed video and I definitely had my notes! Thank you! for this amazing video I learned a lot! I really enjoyed crafting the DM for Step 4. Showing how to and not to pitch to the brand is very important! It’ll make it break the deal lol. I also loved step 2 and the different options and offerings you can use when promoting the brand. I feel relieved and not so lost 😅anymore. Thank you again have a great one 💙💛⭐️🌙🙏🏾♥️
This was so helpful. Thank you so much. I love your videos. Your channel is so underrated. There are so many helpful tips and hacks that have helped me grow on Instagram. Keep doing what you're doing. Its amazing!
Great video!! Was wondering if you can shed a little more light on the process of attaining the actual email contacts for brands you want to target and pitch to. I feel like this is a topic within the process of procuring sponsorship that isn’t highlighted as much as it should be. I’m a travel content creator and created a good media kit, then had a fiverr seller do some of this research grunt work to find email contacts for me at both small and bigger players in the travel industry. With whatever emails she collected, I blasted out a mass email only inquiring for other direct contact email addresses for their social media marketing departments. Unfortunately I did not get the responses I was hoping for… Any ideas will be helpful…. Thanks!
Thank you, Jade, This was very informative. I myself am looking to start working with brands in the US and I will definitely be using some of your tips and will probably get one of your courses too. Cheers :)
You've explained everything soo well and easy to understand! I am no where near ready for brand deals but I love learning about them and hope to one day be able to work with brands that I love! You're stunning also girl! 😍🙌🏻
Thank you so much! This was informative and actionable. I’m about to reach out to brands and wanted to do it correctly. I’ll let you know how it works for me. Thank you again!🌷
Love this video! Thanks Jade! ❤ would be amazing if you could do one on reaching out to brands for UGC / Content Creator work in the UK as oppose to influencer work. I have watched a few vids from US bloggers but none from the UK. Thanks!
This was very helpful, it's just that I'm kinda scared to work with brands because i have this doubt that will i be able to deliver what they want and whether I'm charging properly. 😢
Hi Jade, what do you do if your niche is the business you’re in. Would you still reach out and target other businesses in your niche as you’d potentially have similar audiences? A Direct competitors that is. I don’t know if that makes sense but if I’m selling jewellery would I still target other bigger jewellery brands and show them my RUclips content and Instagram, or avoid that? I just felt it may be a conflict of interest… 🤔 Also, happy holidays, hope you had a great day 🙏🏾🎄
I've recently made a spreadsheet with a bunch of brands that I want to pitch myself to (mainly for my organization) based on what relates to me. I found a bunch of brands on Instagram that I like and that also work with other small influencers. I'm struggling with the actual message part and what I should say, so this was really helpful. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m in the process of doing this right now with brands however I only sent them my media kit and my message could use some improvements, I haven’t followed up yet so do you think if I follow up with a better/more improved message that would help?
Referred you to my daughter. Thanks for the information 😊. Will use it for my IG channel. I have several of them in different areas, one is for fashion.
Is under 1000 subscribers too small for brands to want to sponsor? I have almost 400 subscribers and over 700 Instagram followers. I have a couple of brands I am passionate about that I want to partner with, but I’m scared that reaching out too soon will ruin my chances.
Thank you so so much for this. This was very informative and helpful. I hope after this video I would have a better approach to brands. fingers crossed, ill be back with some positive feedback.
So I am an influencer but not quite micro yet I have 3,230 followers & my nice is fashion. Obviously, I want to work with big brands such as fashion nova, shein & PLT to name a few but do you recommend any brands to reach out to first that are legit! Anything helps thanks 💕
Hello! Just thinking about a potential Instagram account and happened upon your videos, so helpful. You've got such a great perspective, coming from the buyer/seller side at the same time. Question: based on all you say about stats/analytics I'm guessing a person should already be a couple months into a channel with several posts/#s to be able to share with brands? Otherwise, there's not much value to "sell", right? Thanks!🌺🙏
