4. Start pitching brands

Once you create a free July account our AI goes to work matching you with brands based on your content. You’ll see a percentage match score next to each brand campaign. From there, you’re one button away from contacting that brand’s decision maker directly; just press “Pitch.”

We suggest you add your voice and personality to each pitch template we offer. Highlight specific aspects of your content that make it a perfect fit for the brand. Whether it's your storytelling skills, authenticity, or unique approach to beauty, emphasize what sets you apart. Don't shy away from expressing your passion for the brand and how you envision integrating their products seamlessly into your content.

5. Keep pitching… A LOT

It usually takes lots of pitching in order to start hearing back from brands and eventually landing deals. While it’s fun to hand-pick the brands you want to contact on July, why not let AI do it for you automatically? Consider enabling our automatic pitching feature, which will send customized pitches on your behalf to every high-probability match the second they drop.
