I see this happen constantly.<\/p>\n
A creator reaches out to a brand, gets no response,
and immediately assumes they\u2019re too small.<\/p>\n
However, that\u2019s almost never the real reason.<\/p>\n
Most outreach messages sound like this:<\/p>\n
\u201cHi! I absolutely love your products and would love to work together! Please let me know if you\u2019re interested!\u201d<\/p>\n
And just like that\u2026<\/p>\n
Gone.<\/p>\n
Not read. Not considered. Deleted.<\/p>\n
Not because the creator isn\u2019t talented.<\/p>\n
Instead, because that message gives the brand nothing useful.<\/p>\n
No numbers.
No audience.
No reason to respond.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, brands get hundreds of these every week.<\/p>\n
So naturally, they ignore anything that looks like everyone else.<\/p>\n
If you want a response, include this:<\/p>\n
