@Helen Brabury I think it was automated - my emails aren't very spammy either. Ive only just started pitching. It was the 2nd follow up email I sent the got marked

@Helen Brabury So initially i was manually pitching, but now it's automated. So I sent the 1st outreach, and follow up once, then twice and thats it. I scheduled for 30 skincare yesterday and they are sending today, but its only sending 10 per day and it spreads them out throughout the day. It automates my follow up for 4 or 5 days later. It's my first time doing the automated pitching. My emails consist of Hook, about me

I actually love what you've wrote on your portfolio - just some tips - definitely have around 5 videos (all different styles), link your socials and email. I love the about mike section, I would actually put everything you said into a mini 30s intro video. Also include a mini section on what you offer, add in your unique angle.

@Katie Wilson I think i am a bit of a perfectionist. So even though i have 9 videos in my portfolio, and they are okayish. I have low confidence in them. I even got it audited and someone said I didnt look like a beginner. I end up trying to film more portfolio videos when instead I probably should be pitching, which ive barely done. I think its because if spend time pitching and think my portfolio is bad, its like effort gone to waste. But if my portfolio is something I can be proud of to send to brands I would feel more confident. So im stuck between improving my videos, or pitching. Its like am I even ready?

@Katie Wilson I actually have 13 videos in my portfolio now - i've just finished my first gifted collab and she loved it haha! I think its my pitching email - i dont want to sound to corporate or come across as spam in it.

Im using bento but am going to invest in the paid version. I have no other platform and im just gonna give it a go with the 250 and see if i get anywhere first. Ive only landed 1 gifted but hoping I get somewhere this month.
