The Influencer Podcast Exclusive Access to Pitch Coaching Call: Navigating Brand Deals and Self-Promotion
In today’s very special episode, I’m joined by our dedicated Pitch It Perfect students who share their journey, from handling vague company responses to landing a single $2k brand deal!
We'll discuss strategies like patience and persistence in follow-ups, and how important it is not to take rejections personally. My students bring up the ever-important question of how to strike the right balance between paid partnerships and selling their own services.
Together, we explore the art of engaging an audience, the significance of local reputation, and why it's crucial to remain true to opportunities that excite us.
Tune in as we talk through actionable insights on mindset, content creation, and growing your following. As well as how to transition from free brand features to paid collaborations and setting boundaries for future partnerships.
