Land Brand Deals & Price Yourself

Build a brand-ready media kit

A clean one-pager with your niche, audience demographics and past results is non-negotiable. Brands reply to clarity, not follower count. Update it as you grow.

Find the right brands

Start with products you already use and tag them. Then join a creator network that matches campaigns to your actual audience — far higher reply rates than cold outreach.

Pitch like a professional

One short, specific email: who you are, why your audience fits, the deliverables you propose. Attach the media kit, not a novel. Make saying yes easy.

Price on value, not just reach

Base rates on audience quality and engagement. As a smaller creator, lead with niche relevance and trust — that's what smart brands pay for. Deliver, get a testimonial, and turn it into a retainer.

Key takeaways

  • Build a media kit (niche, demographics, results).
  • Find brands via products you use + a creator network.
  • Price on engagement/quality; deliver and turn into retainers.
