🧙‍♂️ Paid Sponsorships with Google, Tasty x Boar's Head, Bright Cellars, Babycenter, General Mills, SONIC, Ergobaby, GoodCook [February 10]

Hey there,

Among the most common questions I get are:

“What do I actually say when I pitch a brand?”

AND

“How do I know who to contact?”

Well, the LAST thing you should do is just DM them on Instagram and say "I love your brand, wanna collab?!"

Full disclosure: I did that a ton when I was starting out 😂

But there are a TON of things you need to consider before you contact them.

That's why in this week's video, I’m gonna teach you How to Pitch a Brand (from start to finish). 👇

​

How to make your YouTube titles suck less

The title is one of the most important parts of your YouTube video,
but most people don’t actually know how to write a good title.
​
My friend Jake shows you how to use psychology to write better YouTube titles in his weekly newsletter, Creator Hooks.

I signed up recently and it's really well done so make sure to check it out.

Meme of the week

Livestream tomorrow at 1pm EST 🎥 🔴

Somehow asking your followers to buy things from you is harder than "indirectly" monetizing your influence through things like sponsorships.

I'm going to talk all about my experiences and lessons learned after 10+ years as a creator.
