Influencer Discovery

Craft the outreach DM

Name the creator and what you want. Naise writes a short, specific DM that references their actual work, states the offer in plain numbers, and gives them an easy way to say no.

The brief Naise works from

I want to reach out to creator handle, who makes their niche content on platform. Their recent post about a recent post of theirs is the one I want to reference. I am pitching a collaboration type where they what you want them to make. Our brand is brand name and our tone is your tone. Write a DM under 90 words: one specific line about their work that proves I watched it, the offer stated in plain numbers rather than 'exciting opportunity', what I need from them, and an easy out so declining costs them nothing. No emoji openers, no 'I hope this finds you well', and do not call them an influencer. Then give me a shorter second version for a creator who replies to almost nothing.

Highlighted words are the blanks you fill in. Leave one empty and Naise uses a sensible default.

Worth knowing

Naise reads the creator's recent work so the opener is specific rather than flattering. Sending the DM is still yours to do: automated sending is a later ship.
