I just reached out to 3 brands that I use their products regularly in my videos because I love their brand - really daunting to be honest! I was denied for 1, no response from the 2nd, and the third liked the collab idea and asked me - yes they asked me - how much I'd charge for a video on their channel! This happened today and I'm so nervous that I raised the bar too high with my asking price...we'll see how it goes, but this video helped ease my nerves because I think every creator can relate at some point that knowing your worth and value should start early! If you're serious about your channel, start early for sure. I wish I had.

[@JadeBeason]

Huge congrats on making that first step and pitching to a few brands! I agree it's super daunting however don't be put off if they try to negotiate you down or question your value - define you worth and stick to it!

[@SarahMariLucas]

Update - they worked with me on the collaboration and agreed to pay me what I asked for! 😁 Definitely worth reaching out to companies you love and would want to work with!

[@JadeBeason]

@@SarahMariLucas Omg!! CONGRATULATIONS! So pleased for you 😊

[@SarahMariLucas]

@@JadeBeason Thank you so much!! :D Your video gave me the push I needed! hehe

[@BriLaShae]

I came back to see your update ! Congratulations on the acceptance

[@runningwithfitnes]

I’m reaching out to 3 brands right now and this video helped to get my nerves down and to understand the process more. If your thinking about taking your brand and your content serious then start now don’t wait. If someone say no then say okay and keep it moving there plenty of work out there just need to keep reaching out

[@AsiaAndrea]

Any updates?

[@kiannawarrenfam]

I wanted to stop by and say I absolutely LOVE the information you provided in this video!! It gave me the courage and push to reach out to a brand I had my eye on for a while. The company is on the smaller side so they weren’t able to offer several free items in exchange for content but they did offer a lifetime discount code and 1 free item to begin the collaboration! 🤗 Thank you so much for creating this video! Please keep doing more! I am a small youtuber and have been trying to stay in the loop with both youtube and instagram to brand myself💕 You have helped a lot with my confidence to make that first step!

[@mrsetamayple]

As I subscribe and put on my notifications bc dammit this was brilliant!! Thank you Jade

[@tamekiaroseroloveyourselfwell]

This is the first time I saw a video from you and I enjoy it very much because I just got my first paid brand deal and I think I spelled myself short in terms of pay . But thank you 🙏 for the confidence that I do have now to not just sit and wait. As you read this I wish you nothing but the best for sharing such brilliant knowledge with a mom of 5 that don’t know her worth . Many blessings

[@maximizedmoney]

This was excellent! Awesome to hear it from someone who pitches and receives the pitches. I’ve been tailoring mine but the additional insights/content idea infusion is genius. I’m a certified financial educator in the personal finance space so it’s a little more rigid, but feels more possible now. Thank you!!

[@Tygise]

Jade thank you so much!!! This video is BEYOND insightful and has tons of calls to action. I just started making TIKTOK content (less than 100 followers, but growing everyday😄). Once I have more reach- im rewatching this video and getting the ebook ! Thank you so so so much! Cannot wait to apply all that I’ve learned from your video. Thanks a million!

[@yayyouknowitsj9]

[@user-po8pk6zn6b]

very useful content as always!

[@togethertoeat]

Love this video! Thanks Jade! ❤ would be amazing if you could do one on reaching out to brands for UGC / Content Creator work in the UK as oppose to influencer work. I have watched a few vids from US bloggers but none from the UK. Thanks!

[@LATheLyfe]

Great information, thank you.

[@TansZen]

Although this video is over 2 years of age, it gave me some helpful tips to understanding brand deals as my channel grows. Thank you!!

[@foxyraw]

Hey Jade can we get an update on this type of video...like a 2022 strategy on how to reach out to brands!!!

[@HollyHargreaves]

So helpful. Thanks

[@atadlish]

Hello! Just thinking about a potential Instagram account and happened upon your videos, so helpful. You've got such a great perspective, coming from the buyer/seller side at the same time. Question: based on all you say about stats/analytics I'm guessing a person should already be a couple months into a channel with several posts/#s to be able to share with brands? Otherwise, there's not much value to "sell", right? Thanks!🌺🙏

[@theglamorousherbalist]

I love this video! Thank you for this ❤️

[@bedheadacademic]

your hair is amazing

[@kagisotlatsana]

Thank you so so much for this. This was very informative and helpful. I hope after this video I would have a better approach to brands. fingers crossed, ill be back with some positive feedback.

[@lauryntaylor]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’m in the process of doing this right now with brands however I only sent them my media kit and my message could use some improvements, I haven’t followed up yet so do you think if I follow up with a better/more improved message that would help?

[@wiktoriawabnyc]

Would you say it’s too early to start charging for brand deals with 2,000 subscribers ?

Great tips, Jade! I noticed some of the links in your "Let's work Together" section, don't work in case you want to update them!

[@travelbags979]

Great video!! Was wondering if you can shed a little more light on the process of attaining the actual email contacts for brands you want to target and pitch to. I feel like this is a topic within the process of procuring sponsorship that isn’t highlighted as much as it should be. I’m a travel content creator and created a good media kit, then had a fiverr seller do some of this research grunt work to find email contacts for me at both small and bigger players in the travel industry. With whatever emails she collected, I blasted out a mass email only inquiring for other direct contact email addresses for their social media marketing departments. Unfortunately I did not get the responses I was hoping for… Any ideas will be helpful…. Thanks!

[@HealthyyHottiee]

Great Video 👍😌👏
