Influencer Outreach Templates That Actually Work
- 7 mins
Reaching out to influencers can feel like shooting your shot into the void. But here’s the truth: most brands don’t get replies not because their product isn’t cool – but because their message is either too generic, too pushy, or just too boring.
If you’re trying to work with influencers, your first impression is the pitch. So let’s make it count.
What Influencers Actually Want
Before we drop the templates, let’s be real… influencers get tons of messages. What makes them stop and read?
• It’s personal, not a copy-paste blast.
•It’s clear what’s being offered.
• It respects their time and value.
📝 1. Commission-Based Collab (Perfect for Smaller Budgets)
