And that's what separates an effective pitch from an ineffective one. If she shot that note to a hundred places, she'd be lucky to get one bite. It looks like poorly written spam that doesn't offer any real incentive to the business because it is poorly written spam that doesn't offer any real incentive to the business. And keep in mind that businesses tend to a lot of messages from "influencers" nowadays making similar pitches.

No this is just wrong please stop making things up. It's obvious you have little to no experience with IM and are just acting like you know it all. Once again, it doesn't need to be professionally at all.

She would have gotten the same response whether it was 100% professional and the best pitch in the world or what you see here. You can't sit here taking about how they're trolls and try to make it look like anything else she said would have changed the outcome.

Again, numbers don't necessarily mean anything when there's no real potential for paying customers. And keep in mind that her 78k where a *fraction* might be interested&qualified leads was being matched against hotel's 32k who already were interested in the business. Not to mention that the business had 186k between their Facebook pages and, I might add, Facebook tends to skew older (ie, more money).

That's not to say that influencers never produce value -- because they certainly do for some industries -- just that this one probably wouldn't.

This once again shows you're speaking out your ass, and don't have a good understanding of IM or even marketing in general.

Exposure is exposure and it's valuable to most companies. You don't need effective pitches nowadays because companies have already set aside budgets for these things and it's basically depending on your following. Most companies already have followings that are 10-100 times individuals. No fucking shit. Yet they are still catered too.

You can simply say "hey, can I get a free review Nintendo Switch, here is my YouTube link. 3000 followers"

That's an actual pitch a guy on the Switch board made and got the Switch and a free copy of BotW 3 weeks early for review and to keep. Literally, the dude can't even write above a 3rd grade level (people probably know who I'm talking about).

So please stop trying to act like a know it all based off shit from traditional marketing in the 80s.
