It sounds simple, but knowing how to reach out to influencers takes some planning and strategizing. Firing off DMs and hastily written emails without a plan will be hugely time-consuming and won’t entice them to join your campaign.

Choose Your Method to Reach Out to Influencers

Methods to reach out

Depending on your budget, resources, and how many influencers you need to reach out to, there are several methods for contacting influencers.

Direct message via social media

  • Creators are likely to see it as they check social media often. Can be informal and relatively quick to execute.
  • Not all platforms allow you to directly contact creators that don’t follow or subscribe to your channel.

Email

  • It’s possible to batch emails and send several at once.
  • However it’s very difficult to organize and track all the individual replies in your inbox or spreadsheet. It will take up a huge amount of time to manage this manually.
