Brand deals are one of the most common ways you can make money as a creator.

Just recently, I landed my biggest brand deal ever:

I know what you might be thinking...

It's easy for you when you have a relatively large audience.

However, trust me on this...

The fact that you have many followers doesn't guarantee that you will easily secure brand deals.

When I had a small audience, I still managed to secure sponsorships.

And I established connections with various brands.

Here is the blueprint you can follow as a small creator if you want to start getting sponsored and paid to create videos for companies you love:

Step 1: Compile a list of 50-100 companies that you would like to be sponsored by (these can include e-commerce brands, software companies, etc.).

Step 2: Create a spreadsheet and install the Chrome extension called snov.io.

Step 3: When you visit these companies' websites, click on the extension to access the owner's email addresses.

Step 4: Collect the email addresses of the owners.

Step 5: Create 2-3 videos showcasing their products and post them on your Instagram for free.

Step 6: Begin reaching out to the owners using the script provided below:

Subject line: Quick question

Email body:

Incorporating your brand's products.

The best part? It’s all for FREE and I’ll post on my page with (X) followers

Let me know if that would sound like a good idea!

Sincerely,

Following that, you can begin acquiring paying clients while simultaneously expanding your audience.
