How do I get brand deals with a small following?
THE SHORT ANSWER
Small creators get brand deals by pitching brands directly and showing a focused, active audience, not a big number. Brands often work with smaller accounts because followers in a tight niche tend to trust the creator. You need a clear topic, steady posting over a few months, and a short pitch that says who watches you and what you would make for them. Start with smaller brands you already use, since they answer more often.
What to do
- 1Post steadily in one niche for at least three months first.
- 2Make a one-page summary of your audience, reach and best posts.
- 3List 20 brands you already use and find a marketing contact.
- 4Send a short pitch with one specific content idea.
- 5Follow up once after a week.
The common mistake
Waiting for brands to find you. With a small following that rarely happens, so you have to send the first message.
WHERE KLIK FITS
KLIK keeps your accounts active on every platform, which gives brands a steady, current profile to look at when they check you out.
