How-to: PR/Collabs 🤔💭

I got you!! ⬇️

People often never know where to start when it comes to trying to secure a spot on their of favorite brands PR list, the same can be said for trying to secure collabs - gifted or paid!

I've created a quick and simple guide for you to follow if you’re just started your content creating journey or if you're simply looking to change your approach!

1. Do your research!

It's important that you research the different industries out there, keep yourself educated! Once you’ve got the education part down, you’re ready to niche down. 🙇🏽‍♀️ Example: In the beginning of all this, I thought I wanted to focus my content on motherhood and vlogging, but that didn’t feel most like me. It didn’t flow naturally, and it should!

2. Find your niche!

Try to figure out what type of niche you want to focus your content on. ( beauty, fashion, lifestyle, etc.) by doing this, you'll help brands understand their wants and your needs! This will also help you in the long run when trying to identify what specific brands you want to reach out to. 💻📲

* Example: I knew I liked doing makeup and figured, I’d niche down in the Beauty category! This decision should come naturally to you, don’t overthink it - focus on what you like doing!

3. Pitch yourself to brands!

Once you've niched down, it's easier to pitch yourself to brands! Your pitch should always be short and sweet. It should essentially be a few short sentences. (your name, social media handle(s), how you identify with this brand, why you'd like to work this brand, and now this would benefit the both of you) 📄

* Example: As I started messaging brands, I started noticing what messages worked and which ones didn’t. Here’s a sweet and simple template that I found works when messaging brands!

“Hi!!

I hope you all are doing well☺️ I am reaching out to you to explore an opportunity to test a few of your products and share a dedicated reel/post with these products as a way to promote your brand/products.

Please let me know if that's something you'd be interested in discussing further.

I really love your brand and would love to get the opportunity to work with you!

Thanks,

Irma Vazquez”

I get replies from brands using this pitch, but remember: if you don’t hear back, IT’S OK! there’s soooo many other brands out there who will, keep trying!

4. Have fun!

It's so easy to get wrapped up in trying to prove yourself and grow your socials, but it's important to celebrate those small wins and learn to live in the moment! ❤️ I usually take one or two days out of the week to decompress from social media and live in the moment! I put my phone down as much as a I can and take time to make sure I come back and feel refreshed with new ideas. I highly recommend you try this for yourself ☺️
