1.) Please follow the account if you’re actually interested in working with them. It’s even better if you interact with their content and develop a relationship before pitching. I say yes to these way, way, way more than cold pitches from people I’ve never interacted with. Cold pitches from people who don’t follow my account usually get deleted straightaway.

Yes! Agree to so many of these! Also, leaving a review on google or another platform is always helpful to the host and is another way to be mutually beneficial! And ask the host ahead of time if you are going to shoot someone else's content in their space. We are paying you to be here for our product, not someone elses. And we understand if life happens, but if you can't make those saved dates, please let us know we'll in advance so we can try to fill those nights. Thanks for sharing!

I also love creators who lay out exactly what you are going to get from their work. How many reels, photos, videos, what platforms etc. it really helps to avoid any miscommunication and keeps everyone on the same page.
