How to Pitch Brands (With Templates That Actually Work)

Waiting for brands to come to you might work—but if you want consistent income, you need to be proactive. Pitching doesn't mean being pushy. It means showing up professionally with a clear offer and helping a brand see how your content fits their goals.

What Makes a Good Pitch?

It's short and clear. The brand manager is busy. Get to the point in 3-5 sentences max.
You offer value. "Here's what I'd love to create for you..." works better than "I'd love to work together."
You follow up. Most deals are closed after the second or third message. Don't ghost your own pitch.
