Nina!! this is exactly what I needed to hear today, specially the end... as a photographer of 8 years, I struggle to pitch brands to make them understand i'm not an influencer, and that my value is on what I do! Some great tips here, and a vote of confidence as well! thanks!!
Hi Nina Thank you so much for this video it was so insightful. I started UA-cam 3 months a go and my video have been hitting 2k-4k views with less than 1000 subscribers. Something told me I must be onto something but I wasn't quite sure how to position myself . This has really been insightful.
Nina, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and just love it. You are worth your weight in gold. Thank you for the inside (and outside) scoop. We appreciate you so much!
I usually click in these and get the same info but you provided a whole other perspective and way of thinking! I grabbed my notebook immediately to start taking notes. Super helpful thank you
Love how you encouraged micro influencers to use both qualitative and quantitative data when pitching brands! Some of the comments and DM's I've gotten about certain brands have helped push me over the edge when it comes to brand partnerships. Great tips!
Wow, I can’t believe you haven’t been taken by a major corporation. Best I have seen, better than seminars/conferences featuring people representing coke, nike, ubs, stoly, etc. Congrats and thanks for the great info.
rafaeln21 thank you so much for the kind comment!!! Really means a lot to our team! Nina has her MBA in Marketing and has consulted for various large brands. She is happy to share her knowledge with the UA-cam community :)
This was so very helpful and encouraging. As a micro influencer, though, my audience cannot "swipe up" so what should I tally or count instead (minute 4:15)? Also, with my major audience being UA-cam, should I pitch to brands for a video or micro influencer or Instagram? I have 15% engagement rate on IG with 1400 followers. But UA-cam is much larger. Thank you again! I'm excited about this stuff too.
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment. For IG, since you can't swipe up, I would definitely include # of impressions per post and story views. Make sure you also include that high engagement rate! If UA-cam is where your audience is, I would 100% pitch a video and supplement with some IG content. Make sure to include YT analytics regarding your channel, your subscribers and all that good stuff in your media kit (print screens work fine!) Good luck!
Glad I came across this I’m a local content creator and I was thinking that was hurting my growth yet I grew IG to almost 20k in last year and tiktok to 66k posting local hotspots. Thanks I will start using this to my advantage
Thank you for sharing! The last point about pitching other skills to brands, then adding influence and social media shares as a supplemental service is something I am going to try!
Love this so much! I’m from Miami too, and I’m currently wanting to start working with local hotels. I sent my first ever pitch today, thank you for inspiring me!
That is so awesome!! Be consistent and you will do so well. We'd love to work with you on your pitching and business strategy. You can book a 1-on-1 strategy call with us here sidewalkerdaily.com/services-creators/ and use code UA-cam30 for a special discount :)
So many great tips - I love the idea of starting local! I'm really going to have to think on that and see what kind of ideas I could pitch to my tourism board.
This was actually super helpful. Wondering if you can do niche specific videos? I'm really trying to learn how to break into the travel blog industry, but pitching myself to hotel, airline, adventure brands, etc, is a lot different than pitching myself as a fashion or beauty influencer. Let me know if you have any tips or ideas! Loved your video!
Yes totally - check out the rest of our channel - it's mostly travel blogger specific. Our website has tons of info too, dedicated the travel industry!
Hahahah no worries! Yea, 10 is definitely NOT low :) Make sure to check out our website for more advice www.sidewalkerdaily.com/blog and if you need one-on-one, we offer that too! www.sidewalkerdaily.com/services-creators
I want to go to Japan and climb mount fuji, do you think I'd be able to use your method explained at the 6 minute mark to get some type of sponsorship for accomodations for while I am there?
Hi There! Thanks so much for your comment. We would need to learn more about your business in order to make a recommendation. Here is a link to our one-on-one coaching calls if you'd like to set up a call to go over your strategy :) sidewalkerdaily.com/services-creators Our blog also has tons of free resources on press trips www.sidewalkerdaily.com/blog Good luck!
Wow I have listened to so many videos and you helped a lot such amazing tips being an influencer with 5000 followers on Instagram I am working on barter collaborations for some time so wanted to switch to paid deals so thanks a lot
Thanks! Sidenote - are swipe ups only available after a certain number of followers? I have 2700 and about 11% engagement rate but no option to allow swipe up. I thought that was if you're over 10K?
Ms Love Hi there! Yes, it’s only available if you have over 10k followers, but Vanessa Lau actually made a video about how to hack that and get the feature even if you don’t have 10k. You should check her out!
Hi Nina! I've been binge-ing your content, and have learned so many useful nuggets. I do have a follow up question though: How do you know what to pitch to a brand as far as content? Especially just starting out... Do you come out swinging and promise 3 instagram posts, a promo video and a feature on your own youtube channel vlog...? And then how do you know what to ask for in return (ex: a discount, a free stay...etc.)?
Hiii! This is a great question, and you've inspired me to make a video on it (stay tuned!) For now, I would try and see what the value you are offering is, and the value you are asking for, and try and make it balance out. For example, if your value is around $500 (posting + time to create content) and you're asking for a free stay that's worth approx the same, then it's a fair deal. Here's a post on How To Figure Out Your Rate, in case you don't already know. sidewalkerdaily.com/how-much-to-charge-for-an-instagram-post/ As for stating the deliverables up front, it all comes down to what you are pitching, as it varies case by case. I like to recommend keeping it vague in the beginning, and seeing what they ask, and then modifying if you don't like what they suggest. If you have specific questions, definitely book a one-on-one coaching and I can help you iron out specifics. Best of luck! sidewalkerdaily.com/services-creators/
Hi Izzy! There are so many things that go into figuring out your rate, including impressions, time it takes to create the content, and additional fees, such as bringing it someone to help you create or edit (+ a LOT more variables.) For this reason, I'd suggest booking a one-on-one with me and we can come up with the perfect rate sheet, so you feel comfortable when brands reach out to you, or when you pitch! You can book an hour session here: www.sidewalkerdaily.com/services-creators
Yes there is! You can book either a 30 min or 1 hour call via this link and we can go over your situation and come up with a personalized plan of action! sidewalkerdaily.com/services-creators/

Hi Sam! So so happy you found this helpful - and keep moving forward, we have total faith in you!

Was the term "heater market"? I couldn't make out that word.
"feeder market"? lol
Oops, sorry about that! Feeder market! That refers to cities that "feed" into different markets :)
i have about 12 and a half thousand followers on instagram, how much should i start charging brands for posts? my engagement rates are high.
