"Why would a brand pay me with only 2,000 followers?"
You don't need a million followers to get paid by brands. You need a pitch, a price, and a process.
Most small creators wait to be discovered, accept free products for hours of work, or never send a pitch because they think their following is too small. Brands do pay creators with smaller audiences, but they pay the ones who make it easy to say yes.
Get Paid by Brands takes you step by step from your first pitch to your first payment and answers the questions that stall most creators:
- How do you find brands that actually work with smaller creators?
- What do you say in a first email, and who do you send it to?
- How much should you charge when a brand offers free product instead of payment?
- What do you do when a brand goes silent, asks for extra work, or pays late?
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Position your content and build a media kit using free tools.
- Research 30 target brands and find the right contact.
- Write pitches that get opened, read, and answered.
- Follow up without being annoying using the Three-Touch Follow-Up
- Price every offer with the SCOPE Method
- Review every agreement with the CLEAR Check.
- Handle invoices and payment reminders professionally
- Turn one campaign into repeat business with the REPEAT Method.
Most guides stop at landing the deal. This one also takes you through the contract, the invoice, and the payment, so you know what to do after a brand says yes.
Every chapter ends with a practical task. You'll also get ready-to-use pitch, follow-up, and payment-reminder templates, checklists, pricing examples, and a quote worksheet you can adapt to your own niche.
Whether you're chasing your first paid collaboration or want a repeatable system, you can start with the platform you have and the content you've already made.
Stop waiting to be discovered. Start pitching the brands you want to work with.
