The brand deal hack that made me $300 in less than 24 hours

This is a little trick I did a few weeks ago. It helped me book a brand deal the same day and get paid less than 24 hours later.

Here’s how I did it…

First, what are brand deals?

If you’re reading this, you might already know but for those who don’t…

A brand deal is an arrangement between a creator and a brand. The creator agrees to feature the brand on their platform in exchange for compensation.

This is a win-win for both sides.

The creator earns money.

The brand gets exposure which can lead to more customers, sales, and traffic.

Brand deals are one of the most lucrative income streams for creators. Top creators earn a full-time income from brand deals.

I’ve made between $5K to $10K per month from it, myself!

How do you book brand deals?

The 3 major ways are:

  • Applying to opportunities via sponsored networks
  • Getting contacted by the brand
  • Reaching out to the brand

Sponsored networks are the middleman between brands and creators. They help negotiate deals for them and bring the two parties together.

Examples are:

  • Social Fabric
  • Acorns
  • Ikea
  • Linqia

Getting contacted by the brand is as simple as a brand emailing you about working together. Contacting the brand is about reaching out to the marketing team of a company and expressing your interest in working together.

How did I make $300 from a brand deal super fast?

I found a competitor in my niche.

After finding the competitor, I searched for sponsored posts they did.

Then, I contacted the brand to pitch a similar deal.

That’s it!

The company I contacted replied back super fast. There was very little back and forth before they agreed to the sponsored post and quickly paid me shortly thereafter.
