What Did We Learn From My FIRST FREE Mentorship Class?
Last Thursday I hosted my first ever free mentorship class, part of a new series I’m doing – and the feedback was incredible! We had 200 people join us to not only dive into the ins and outs of brand partnerships, but also get involved in the class by asking questions, receiving clarity on key issues, and getting clear action items.
In case you missed it (or you want an extra recap), here are the top two tips we shared :
If you want to succeed in working with your dream brand, you first have to ensure that your aesthetic matches theirs. So for example, if you’re dying to work with a top notch beauty brand (let’s say Chanel Beauty), the first step is to go to their online page, see what their aesthetic is, and get inspiration for yours. I always give this example which is rather extreme, but it really brings the point home : If your IG page is of you half naked in a thong taking tequila shots on the beach, and you’re wondering why Chanel Beauty isn’t getting back to you… well, now you know. You have to be visually aligned already with the brands you want to work with. So write down three brands you want to work with. Now I want you to go into their IG pages, and write down what their key aesthetics are. Then I want you to be inspired by that next time you create content.
PITCH! Yes my friends. You have to pitch yourself, and the way you write that email and/or DM is going to literally determine whether or not a brand replies. And I’m going to let you in on a little secret – the majority of influencers don’t know what that secret sauce is in an email to ensure you get a response. That’s why I created the “How To Reach Out to Brands Course” – my newest online class where I not only guide you on how to reach out to brands but give you several email templates which you can simply copy and paste when emailing your dream brands. Yeah, I could not have made it an easier for you to succeed – I’m giving you the exact email templates I use to pitch my top girls like Chriselle Lim and brands like Dior, Stuart Weitzman, Spanx, and so many more.
AND NOW THIS SECRET SAUCE IS YOURSSSSS!
