2,000 Brand Pitches, 6 Responses...WTF? (Live Coaching Replay)

Author: Justin Moore November 7, 2025 Duration: 1:12:47
Ever sent hundreds of brand pitches and gotten crickets? You're not alone. In this raw coaching call, we tackle one creator's brutal reality: 2,000 cold emails sent, only 6 responses received. We break down exactly what went wrong—from AI-sounding pitches that get instantly deleted to the critical mistake of not establishing yourself as a creator versus an agency. You'll also hear real-time solutions for other creators facing sponsorship roadblocks: Why video pitches are crushing cold emails right now (and the exact tool to use) How to turn CEOs who connect with you on LinkedIn into sponsorship deals The "lunch and learn" strategy that turned a $500 investment into six figures When to pitch authors directly instead of publishers for book sponsorships How to convert earned media relationships into paid sponsorships without feeling awkward The one word you should NEVER use in your bio if you want brands to pay you Plus, we dive into the messy reality of choosing between platforms that pay versus platforms that drain your mental health—and how to make that decision without guilt. This isn't your typical "rah-rah you got this" content. It's honest, sometimes uncomfortable, and exactly what you need to hear if you're stuck in the sponsorship grind.
