I have NO experience... Can I Still Pitch?” (Yes Here’s How👇)
This is the #1 mindset block I see in beginners, so let’s break it down and fix it today. In my recent post I shared my pitch template (if you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it first), and after that I got a great question from @Bettina Dabsch and @Tina Barta about this part in my intro line: “Hi Brand, My name is [your name] and I’m a full-time UGC creator based in [city, country] who has worked with over 200+ brands worldwide.” And I’m here to tell you:That is NOT the reason I land brand deals. It’s just a little extra cherry on top, not the main ingredient. So please don’t feel like you need experience to pitch brands. You don’t. What actually makes a pitch work (especially for beginners) is: ✨ Personalizing it ✨ finding a pain point and showing how you can solve it ✨ Having STRONG portfolio that matches the brands aesthetic ✨ Writing like a real person (not a robot) For example, instead of saying “I’ve worked with 200+ brands,” try: 💡 I’ve built a content style that feels like a friend’s recommendation, which is exactly what converts today. 💡 “I recently developed a UGC formula that’s been performing insanely well for the brands I work with and I’d love to tailor it for [Brand Name].” THAT is what makes you stand out. Even if you’ve worked with 0 brands so far, the way you position yourself and the value you offer is what gets replies. And just so you know… if I had worked with 200+ brands but my pitch was generic or my portfolio was messy, I promise you no one would care 😂 So don’t wait for experience. Start now, use what you do have, and keep pitching. Do you want me to drop a few more intro lines + a full example pitch you can steal this week?
