Listen "How to Land Paid Brand Deals (Even When They Say They Have No Budget) | EP8"
Episode Synopsis
Ever had a brand say, “We don’t have a budget,” and wondered if that’s the end of the conversation? It doesn’t have to be. In this episode of Master the Media, Amy Gorin shares real talk about how to turn those “nos” into paid opportunities. You’ll learn why getting a “no” isn’t always bad, and how a little research and the right pitch can open big doors. Amy even shares the story of how one pitch to Panda Express, after being turned down, ultimately led to a paid consulting job and later, a spokesperson role. She also explains why emailing beats DMing, and why there’s way more to brand deals than just social media posts. If you’re a health pro who wants to get paid to work with brands you love, this one’s for you.Grab the FREE pricing guide: https://masterthemedia.co/pricing-guide/Join the Master the Media Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/680900019458808Episode highlights:(0:00) Intro(2:12) Why brands respond “No budget”, and what it means(3:59) Why brands reject pitches and how to handle them(6:27) Why social media DMs often don’t lead to paid deals(7:34) Crafting a strong, targeted pitch(9:31) Panda Express case study(13:19) What makes a pitch compelling(17:14) From small projects to five-figure partnerships(19:18) Action step: Identify a brand’s pain points and pitch strategically(19:44) Outro Master the Media for Dietitians, Physicians & Healthcare Professionals Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mediamasterywithamy Dietitians on the Blog Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/789355101157569 Need a Guest Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264636544981623 If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a tip on growing your income and impact through the media!
