Скачать или смотреть Episode 4: How to Pitch Brands with Confidence and Land Paid Deals as a Creator

Struggling to pitch brands and actually hear back? Feeling like your emails go into the void or your confidence tanks the second you hit send?

This episode is your blueprint. We’re breaking down exactly how to write a brand pitch that feels aligned, lands deals, and gets you paid — even if you don’t have a massive following. We share the exact 5-part pitch framework we use to land long-term, well-paying partnerships — including how to create an “obvious yes” offer and show up with the kind of confidence that sets you apart in a crowded creator space.

Whether you're an edu-creator, educator on TikTok, or online expert building your brand — this episode will help you pitch smarter, show up like a business, and finally get the yes.
