YBB Blogger Babes: PITCH YO'SELF: THE SECRETS OF AN INFLUENCER

  • ATB Entrepreneur Centre 4234 Calgary Trail Northwest Edmonton, AB, T6J 6Y8 Canada (map)

It’s time to turn your empty inbox into non-stop brand offers.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to land campaigns, or confused on how to even begin the process -- trust me you’re not alone. It doesn’t matter if you have 5k or 100k following, what matters is the quality you provide and how you sell yourself.

Does this sound like you?

“I would love to start working with brands, but I don’t even know where to start! How do I find the person to contact? What do I even say? When is the right time?”

“I see so many bloggers and influencers being invited to these events or get gifted PR packages but how do they even get noticed? How do I get invited onto the list?”

“I have emailed brands before to collaborate, but I hear nothing back. What am I doing wrong?”

“I’ve always been scared to send that email even though I know my worth, I get way too intimidated to press send. What if I don’t get a reply? What if my numbers aren’t good enough?”

“I got an offer to work with a brand but what they’re asking me is a lot of work for little to no pay. How do I counter this? Will I be burning my bridges to future opportunities by declining? Should I stick it through and do it anyway?”

You’re a smart content creator and you know the work that is involved in creating an authentic community and a genuine brand -- so why not charge for what you’re worth? Why not open the opportunities to brands that you deserve?


What you’ll be learning:

1 -- Purpose

Why does brand vs branding matter

Importance of Quality Content & Analytics

2 -- Identify

You’ll also be going home with a bonus: The Pitch Yo’self Workbook

  • Pitch templates that you can copy, paste & customize

  • Strategy Checklist

  • Helpful pitching practices

  • Build your “dream list” (via google spreadsheets)

And more…

“When I came into the workshop, I kinda had a blog already put together, but I wanted to take this opportunity to learn and blow it up and start again, or even continue at all. Glenda’s enthusiasm, presentation style and ability to make professional and the work really doable, even for a full time & part time working Mom of a very active and athletic teenager, has reignited and just keep going!!! I loved that Glenda used real life examples to connect bigger concepts with real life practice. With respect to Glenda… A million thank yous. In the 24 hours since meeting you, and being a part of your seminar, I have in the last 5 years. You were the kickstart I needed. Thank you for you, you were the vote confidence I needed to wish you nothing but love, light and all the blessings. – Amanda, Lovestyle + Tarot Blogger | amandakonnik.com”
