After the questions about what kind of camera I use, this is probably the question I get asked the most:<\/span><\/p>\n

“How did you land your first collaboration with a brand?”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of my goals this year was to use this blog to answer questions you all send me on Instagram. I honestly LOVE sharing blogging\/photography tips with you guys. And if I can empower someone else with the little bit of knowledge I have, then woot!!! \u00a0There is no secret formula here, but after two years of pitching myself to brands, I\u2019ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t. I hope this post gives you the confidence to reach out to a brand for your first collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Establish Your Voice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before you’re ready to reach out you have to <\/span>know your niche<\/b>. Are you a bookstagrammer? Do you focus on personal style or cooking? Maybe both? Once you figure out your angle, it makes it much easier to find brands that align with your values. Keep in mind that developing your voice on social media won\u2019t necessarily happen overnight. It\u2019s something that comes along with experimenting with the type of content you post and the story you choose to share. Be patient with yourself. You\u2019ll know when it\u2019s right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Your Homework<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to pay for an influencer marketing tool like PeopleMap<\/a>, there’s a little trick I like to do by clicking the “suggested” button next to companies I would like to work with.<\/span> Instagram does a great job of showing you similar brands with a varying amount of followers. For example, It would be a dream to create content for Sezane, but with over 1M followers it\u2019s a little unrealistic for me to expect a reply from them. I\u2019d be much better off with building up my portfolio by working with smaller but similar brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create Your Media Kit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Creating your own media kit is THE key to landing your first brand collaboration.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A media kit is a simple, one-page visual resume. Its primary purpose is to provide media and brands a quick summary of who you are and what you can do for them. It usually includes a photo of you, a bio (that relates to your blog or Insta handle) Instagram\/blog statistics and a list of brands that you\u2019ve worked with in the past. If you don\u2019t have any brands yet don\u2019t worry! Instead, use that space on your media kit to link to blog or Instagram posts that have performed well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There have been brands that have said, we usually say no to someone with a smaller following, but because of your media kit, we’ll give it a go!<\/em> If you’re not keen on photoshop or InDesign, it’s worth the investment of having a graphic designer help you out or checking these sites out:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitch Perfect<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Think about how many emails brands receive per day. A LOT. Which means that when you reach out, you need to make it count. Keep the email informative without being too wordy, and try your best to find the perfect balance between professionalism and letting your personality shine through.<\/span><\/p>\n

I often start my email pitch with a quick intro of my blog. Then I share a little bit of what I love about their brand and how I incorporate their products into my everyday life. It\u2019s then a matter of proposing what you\u2019d like to create for the brand in exchange for their product. Will you be providing high-quality photos? 3 permanent Instagram posts? Shooting video for Instagram stories with swipe-up links? Whatever you propose, be sure to make your terms clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought people were joking when they said they get emails that literally just say:<\/span><\/p>\n

I have an Instagram with a lot of followers, give me a free product and I’ll promote it.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s true, PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO THIS. Please d<\/span>on’t be that person. This brand doesn’t owe you anything<\/span>.<\/b> You gotta work for it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quick tips: <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • In the contact section of the brand\u2019s website, there is usually an email dedicated to press, that\u2019s the one you want. If their email is not listed, you can usually find an email by checking the brand\u2019s Instagram bio.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Avoid emailing brands on Fridays. Chances are they\u2019ve already mentally clocked out and your email will get lost in the flood of inbox clutter over the weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Content creation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Okay, this is the fun part. The brand has agreed to send you their product in exchange for content that you\u2019ll create for them. Remember to be yourself. Sometimes it\u2019s easy to get caught up in what you think they might like best, but remember that they agreed to this collaboration after scrolling through your feed and your blog. They like your style, and they want your personality to shine through!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Keep in touch!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    After posting, It makes a great impression when you send your post analytics to the brand. Not only does it display professionalism, it shows that you care!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Was this post helpful? Let me know if you’d like to see more “how to” posts from me in the future. I really like answering your questions about blogging and influencer marketing.<\/p>\n
