The Influencer Podcast How to Pitch & Land Paid Brand Deals With a Small Following
Ready to land brand deals regardless of how many followers you have? In today’s episode I’m sharing the secrets to successful pitching using the "shine structure", a strategic framework designed to craft winning pitches that prioritize a brand's needs and position you as their ideal partner.
It's about strategy, and focusing on the RIGHT numbers. By focusing on value and proactive engagement, you can unlock brand partnerships regardless of follower size. I believe in the power of starting where you are and building something extraordinary.
