Do you want to get PR and work with brands? If so, I'm going to tell you how to pitch yourself to brands in order to make brand deals. Also, excuse me, set up because I am at work right now. It's just super, super slow, so I figured I would make this video. Let me give you a quick introduction to myself first. My name is Roxy and I have a part-time position at a tanning salon, which has definitely given me more experience when it comes to consulting versus selling. It also has a lot of me to gain an experience when it comes to pitching products, pitching yourself to other people, things of that matter. Now, only I work at the tanning salon, but I have created this account in order for me to be able to pitch myself to brands and kind of grow my experience as a consultant, um, in the real world and also just be able to have an extra side hustle. The most important thing is knowing what it means to consult. So consulting versus selling is going to be instead of pitching yourself to brands just simply because you want PR, because you want to make money. You want to consult them in a way that benefits them as well. The way that you're going to do that is when you pitch the brands, you want to make sure that they know that you actually care about them and their products. I typically will tell them that I'm reaching out to them because I want to help promote their brand and I want to help promote their products. Um I want people to enjoy their products as much as I do instead of saying, I just want PR, I just want more money, things that matter. Another key thing when it comes to consulting is when you do reach out to brands, you don't want to reach out and be like, can I get some PR things of that matter? Um you just want to reach out to them and say Hey, I'm give them a little bit of background from yourself, but don't make it all about yourself, but you want to be like, I would love to have the opportunity to work with you, whether that meant gifted PR, collaborations, brand deals, anything of that matter. You just want to seem grateful for anything that they give you because not every brand just wants to send you PR just to send you PR. The biggest thing about brand deals is just making sure that you talk to the brand as if you want to help them. You don't want to rely on a brand to help boost your following your views, your likes, all that stuff. You want to boost their followers, their views, their likes. You want to boost their company. So always make sure that you're focusing on their company versus your own content. Yes, it is a benefit when you are making brand deals because that is going to bring in more engagement for your content, but the main priority with brand deals, PR things of that is to boost their engagement. And don't be discouraged if brands don't get back to you. Engaging on their videos is definitely one of the most important things you can do. If you reach out to them and they don't respond to you, that's okay. Just keep engaging on their profile, keep tagging them on your videos, things of that matter. You do not want to seem desperate, but you want to show them that you actually are interested in their brand versus just getting free stuff out of them. But I hope this video did help you out. So let me know if you have any questions down in the comments.
