PR packages with a small following✨

This week I was lucky enough to be able to receive 2 packages from Skinny Pasta and Monday Muse!

Both companies reached out to me via email offering to send over some of their products!

This is exactly why I always say to HAVE YOUR EMAIL IN YOUR INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK BIO!!! I can’t stress it enough. You NEVER know what brands are stumbling across your page that could be sending you products!

... Read moreHey everyone! So, you saw my post about the incredible PR packages I received from Monday Muse and Skinny Pasta, even with a relatively small following. It's been such an exciting journey, and I know many of you are asking: 'How do I get a Monday Muse PR package?' or 'How can I get gifted by brands when I’m just starting out?' Well, I'm here to spill the tea and share everything I've learned that helped me land these amazing opportunities. First things first, that crucial 'email in bio' tip from my original post? It's non-negotiable. Think of it as your digital handshake to brands. But don't just put any old email! Make it professional, something like yourname.collabs@email.com. Beyond that, make sure your Instagram and TikTok bios clearly state your niche and what kind of content you create. Are you a beauty lover, a food enthusiast, or a wellness guru? Brands want to see that you have a specific audience they can connect with. Next, it's all about your content. Quality over quantity, always. When I got my Monday Muse PR package, which included their amazing The Gloss SCALP & HAIR OIL, I genuinely felt like my consistent efforts in creating engaging beauty content paid off. Brands are looking for creators who produce high-quality photos and videos, tell a compelling story, and most importantly, have authentic engagement. This means comments, saves, and shares are often more important than just a huge follower count. Show your personality and let your passion shine through! Don't just wait for brands to find you; you can also be proactive. Start by identifying brands you genuinely admire and use their products (like I did with some health-conscious choices, which led to Skinny Pasta reaching out!). Engage with their content, comment on their posts, and tag them when you use their products naturally. Sometimes, brands have specific 'micro-influencer' or 'ambassador' programs that you can apply to directly. A quick Google search for '[Brand Name] ambassador program' can often lead you to an application page. When you do get an email inquiry, or if you decide to pitch a brand, be professional yet authentic. Clearly state why you're a good fit, what value you can bring, and how you envision collaborating. You don't need a fancy media kit to start, but having a few examples of your best work ready to share is super helpful. Receiving these packages, like the Skinny Pasta fettuccine, was truly a moment of celebration for me. It shows that dedication and consistency really do pay off. When you receive a gifted product, remember to be transparent with your audience by using relevant hashtags like #gifted or #ad if required. Always provide honest feedback, and create content that genuinely highlights the product in a way that resonates with your audience. This helps build trust with both your followers and the brands, paving the way for potential long-term partnerships. Keep creating, keep engaging, and keep that email in your bio – your next PR package could be just around the corner!
