[0:00] what is going on guys today I'm going to
[0:01] be going over how to get paid as a small
[0:04] Creator getting brand deals how to reach
[0:06] out to different brands how to find out
[0:07] who to reach out to how to do it in a
[0:09] professional way where they're more
[0:10] willing to respond to you potentially
[0:12] get paid when I had under 10,000
[0:13] followers on my social media platforms I
[0:15] was still making thousands a month off
[0:17] of brand deals by leveraging these three
[0:18] different things they might seem obvious
[0:20] but 90% of content creators do not do
[0:23] this enough the first than going into it
[0:24] again you should watch the last two
[0:26] videos that I've made you have to learn
[0:27] how to provide value in your content
[0:30] niche-based content build a niche-based
[0:31] community and really be involved with
[0:34] that Community you're not going to be
[0:35] able to get brand deals if the companies
[0:37] that you're trying to reach out to see
[0:38] people not consistently coming back
[0:40] engaging with you you need to be
[0:41] engaging with your audience you need to
[0:42] provide value consistently and make them
[0:44] want to keep coming back little a loyal
[0:45] following now once you do that you need
[0:46] to learn how to Market yourself to
[0:48] Brands and learn how to outreach out to
[0:50] them I had the blessing of having the
[0:52] main brands that I first started working
[0:54] out with back in 2020 they reached out
[0:55] to me Bradley Martin dm' me to work have
[0:57] me work with raar a clothing line at the
[0:59] time and rise reach out to me I believe
[1:01] or no it was there a friend I think that
[1:03] connected me work out with them so I
[1:04] didn't have to worry about doing much
[1:05] Outreach but the thing is dude social
[1:07] media is growing so much now it is
[1:08] easier now more than it has ever been to
[1:10] reach out to these companies and this is
[1:12] how you do it the first step is you want
[1:13] to find the athlete manager or the
[1:15] affiliate manager for whatever company
[1:17] that you were potentially trying to work
[1:19] for now the way you do this step one is
[1:21] you got to go to apollo.io make an
[1:23] account and once you this is not even a
[1:24] sponsor make an account once you make an
[1:26] account type in the name of the company
[1:27] that you potentially want to partner up
[1:29] with or work with or promotee from there
[1:31] you can find usually the marketing or
[1:33] athlete managers and their email you can
[1:35] also sometimes find their phone numbers
[1:37] this way although I feel like it's less
[1:38] intrusive to just send an email if you
[1:40] don't hear back in a week or so send a
[1:42] followup and then if that doesn't work
[1:43] then send a text over make sure in that
[1:45] email you provide value show them the
[1:47] engagement that you've had you can show
[1:49] them your analytics show them the
[1:50] following that you've built the niche
[1:51] that you build the vision that you have
[1:53] for your social media and really just
[1:55] provide a bunch of value don't be
[1:56] hitting them up being like yo will you
[1:57] guys pay me x amount of bread for me to
[2:00] post a story post no let's say it's a
[2:01] something the company you're trying to
[2:02] work with you find their athlete
[2:03] affiliate manager you reach out to them
[2:05] say hey I've been social media blah blah
[2:07] blah 6 months now I've gained a little
[2:08] bit of a loyal following so far this is
[2:10] the type of content that I make I'm
[2:11] doing this fulltime now I'm really
[2:12] trying to make it a big thing trying to
[2:14] find some companies that would take a
[2:15] risk on me I would love to promote your
[2:17] product let me know if there's any way
[2:18] maybe I could get a pre-workout or a
[2:20] protein powder I'll make some crazy ugc
[2:22] content for you guys you guys can use
[2:23] can't wait to hear back from you you
[2:24] want to provide content for them anyway
[2:26] a lot of these Brands they don't mind
[2:27] sending you something that cost them $10
[2:29] in return for ugc Content most companies
[2:31] are going to be fine with doing that
[2:32] they do that for free anyways if you're
[2:33] a smaller influencer don't hit up like
[2:35] crazy big huge companies I would say you
[2:38] want to maybe find some of like the
[2:39] smaller more upand cominging companies
[2:41] uh and they're probably more likely to
[2:42] be willing to work with you sometimes a
[2:44] lot of these really really bigname
[2:45] companies let's say if you hit up young
[2:47] LA and you're a small influencer with
[2:48] like a thousand followers I doubt
[2:50] they're going to send you some free
[2:51] young La you know what I mean but if
[2:52] it's like an upand coming clothing brand
[2:53] they more likely are probably willing to
[2:55] send you like a pump cover to wear in
[2:56] your content to make some ugc stuff for
[2:58] them now when it gets to the point where
[2:59] or maybe if you're a little bit of a
[3:00] bigger influencer and these companies
[3:02] want to bring you on board I've already
[3:04] talked to plenty of these guys that I
[3:05] have as clients in my inner circle who
[3:07] try to present you contracts get you to
[3:09] sign contracts offer I don't recommend
[3:11] doing that without a manager if you join
[3:12] the Inner Circle right and you're
[3:13] getting some progress by learning what
[3:15] we teach you you have access to people
[3:17] like my manager so if you have a brand
[3:18] deal come across your table we will look
[3:20] at it we'll tell you what we think about
[3:22] it and maybe even help you get a better
[3:23] deal for it I think one of the biggest
[3:24] mistakes that we've had to kind of learn
[3:26] in my 5year run so far on social media
[3:28] is in the beginning we didn't really
[3:29] understand how that works there's a lot
[3:30] of sneaky things sometimes companies
[3:32] will put into contracts that will either
[3:33] lock you in for a long time or even
[3:35] after you're done with it they'll keep
[3:37] using your likeliness there's a lot of
[3:38] details that go into it so make sure you
[3:39] have someone professional look it over
[3:41] you just never know what they're going
[3:42] to try and get out of you back when I
[3:43] started I went with a company called
[3:45] rise they uh took a chance on me and
[3:47] they had a thing called a the swole
[3:48] house it was a house that they invited
[3:50] us to go out to that they paid for me
[3:52] and a few other content creators this
[3:53] when I was first starting out social
[3:54] media I took the leap of faith I
[3:55] literally moved to Dallas to go and make
[3:57] content with them and for them and it
[3:59] was a lot of me taking a risk but I
[4:02] provided so much value to the company
[4:04] they were willing to give in a sense me
[4:05] more money down the road as I was able
[4:07] to kind of grow my following show them
[4:09] that I'm I actually serious about what
[4:10] I'm doing I'm not just trying to get
[4:11] free product that goes a long way for
[4:13] these companies when they see you as a
[4:14] hard worker and someone who is providing
[4:16] value and doing more than what you're
[4:17] just getting paid to do always give
[4:19] value before trying to get paid don't
[4:21] just try to get paid from these people
[4:22] off rip it's super super basic but in
[4:24] conclusion from this short video the
[4:26] three things that you need to do is
[4:27] provide value create Niche based content
[4:29] provide provide value to your followers
[4:31] provide value to these brands that might
[4:32] take a chance on sell yourself hit up
[4:34] these companies and sell yourself show
[4:36] them the vision that you have for your
[4:38] own stuff have social proof showing that
[4:40] you've already been doing it showing the
[4:41] trajectory of where it's going and sell
[4:43] yourself be like if you guys I'm blowing
[4:44] up I'm going to be the next big thing if
[4:45] you guys want to be part of it I would
[4:46] love to have you guys on board take a
[4:48] chance on me sell yourself to these
[4:49] companies and the third thing is
[4:51] protecting your name your likeliness
[4:52] make sure that whenever there's more
[4:54] specific brand deals as you grow and get
[4:56] bigger or these emails hit you up and
[4:57] they're like yo we want you to sign this
[4:58] contract with send you $ from make sure
[5:00] you have someone professional look over
[5:01] it don't just get green money eyes we
[5:03] had someone in the Inner Circle we had
[5:04] to literally take out of a deal and save
[5:06] them because they had that happen to
[5:07] them they didn't know how this this is
[5:08] how the system works when you get in
[5:09] social media way to fix a bunch of
[5:11] things in their contracts so make sure
[5:12] that you protect yourself have someone
[5:14] professional look over that stuff
[5:15] whenever some company takes a chance on
[5:17] you do more than you're supposed to
[5:18] provide a bunch of value whatever
[5:20] deliverables or ugc content you're
[5:21] supposed to make double it do more
[5:23] provide value these companies will
[5:24] recognize that and they will work for
[5:26] you more in the long run now if you want
