Email outreach (sequences)
Overview
Email works well for creators who list a public address. The trick is a short, personal sequence — one opener plus a couple of follow-ups on a delay.
Why it matters
A single email you forget to chase gets lost; a short sequence keeps you in front of busy creators without nagging.
Step-by-step process
- Email 1 — the opener: why them, the offer, one clear ask.
- Email 2 (+3 days) — a short bump in case it got buried.
- Email 3 (+4 days) — a final, friendly last touch.
Send in small daily batches, use a sending window, and keep links out of the first email.
Examples
Subject: [their niche] x [brand] Hey [name], your [specific post] is exactly the angle our audience trusts. We're [brand], we make [product in 4 words]. We'd love to send you one and have you make [one Reel] in the next two weeks — paid. Worth a quick rundown?
