Pitching and (Politely) Persisting the Ultimate Brand Partnership
No more waiting for brands to show up in your inbox or praying for someone to stumble upon your Instagram and see your worth.
It’s time to show up with confidence and book the deals you deserve to be booking as a
profitable boss influencer
Are you...
- Feeling overwhelmed by the to-do’s and confused by the conflicting information out there on the internet?
- Making a few hundred dollars here and there, but wanting to turn that into a few thousand?
- Frustrated by all of the asks for free product, and ready to turn that product into paychecks?
- Happy to hit send on an email to a brand, but sad when you never hear back?
- Regularly creating content on multiple channels, including an evergreen platform that you own? (Like a blog or YouTube channel?)
- Sick of waiting around for the crickets to leave your inbox, and ready to proactively position the sails on your ship to success?
Today, sending an email doesn’t guarantee a response, and a response doesn’t guarantee a paycheck.
Summer
coffee with summer
After being enrolled in BossPitch® for well over a year now, I have more than tripled my rates and more importantly, started BOOKING partnerships at my rates! I have landed partnerships with two of my dream brands which I didn’t think was possible at my size. I was able to land my first 4-figure deal with a brand that I’m really excited about, as well as many other long-term partnerships with brands that I love. I pitched and went on my first ever sponsored trip and was paid on top of it!
I don’t feel uncomfortable when I need to follow up on emails anymore. I’m not afraid to ask for more anymore. I can craft the perfect pitch email and my response rate is now close to 100%, rather than 10-20% before taking the course.
Everything Erica provides in BossPitch® made me become more knowledgable, prepared, and seasoned when it comes to working with brands. Because of everything that I’ve learned I now not only know my worth but I also believe in my worth.
The industry is saturated with content creators, and Google is saturated with free advice.
So if you’re sitting there thinking,
“Can’t I just Google This?”
Here's the Deal:
there’s a difference between
informationandtransformation
Google guarantees information but it does NOT come with the transformation.
And there’s a reason many folks stop after that Google search: because it’s beyond overwhelming, probably confusing, and definitely not guaranteeing results.
There's also a wrong way to pitch brand partnerships
Maybe you’ve sworn that taking two cents from Google is a “good-enough” strategy, but when’s the last time someone’s two cents actually made you more money?
Two cents transformations are few and far between, and honestly, you’re worth more than two cents.
In an industry that changes every quarter with algorithms that change every day – it’s literally impossible for Google to keep up.
Seeing other people do it — or having someone do it all for you — doesn’t guarantee you the same success.
But teaching you how to DIY?
That’s helping you build your own empire, baby.
introducing
The first 5-star pitching course and coaching program created BY an influencer FOR influencers
BossPitch® is THE game changer for bloggers and entrepreneurs wanting to collaborate with brands
(+ get paid WELL for it!).
It’s the most comprehensive, step-by-step system available today to walk bloggers through brand collaborations from start to finish.
You’ll finish BossPitch® with knowledge + understanding that you’ve NEVER had before, newfound confidence in your blog as a business and bigger paychecks in your pocket.
Learn the BossPitch Process that’s helped hundreds of students just like you:
- Know your value in a saturated industry - and explain it to brands with confidence
- Craft the best pitch for the perfect brand at the perfect time
- Follow up the RIGHT way to get a response
- Negotiate like a boss to get paid what YOU want
- Create repeat-worthy relationships with brands that keep coming back for more
- Spend less time getting more done
- Maximize your income...with the same content you've BEEN creating on your blog
listen...
I get it. It’s so frustrating.
I feel you, because I’ve BEEN you.
I started my blogging journey just like you did – with zero followers and zero dollars.
I know how it feels because I’ve been where you are:
- I know how it feels to spend hours writing (+ re-writing) the "perfect" pitch - only to never hear back.
- I know how it feels to spend years creating content, growing an audience, and building a brand - only to be told you're "only worth free product."
- I know how it feels to spend hard-earned dollars on a course promising to change your life - only to have it, well, suck.
Here's where I was
I was a busy (like, really busy) Ivy League college student with NO time to waste.
I didn’t have a huge following.
I was afraid of rejection from big brands…
…and I had no idea of how to really reach out to them anyways (“Dear Target…I love you?” Ha!)
I thought getting sent something for free was like hitting the jackpot
I felt destined to a life of #hustle, never able to reach these magical money milestones of Instagram girls
I worked my butt off for four years before becoming a full-time influencer…
and made every mistake in the book.
After coaching hundreds of students just like you through my signature program, BossPitch®, I’ve seen every mistake made in the sequel.
I know what it takes to go from $50 and a free dress (aka my first ever brand deal back in 2014), to $10,000+ months (and heck, $10,000+ contracts for one brand partnership) – without 100,000 Instagram followers.
I’ve worked with dream household name brands like Disney, Crest, Starbucks, Allstate, Netflix, Walmart, Olay, Capital One and Amazon.
Since 2014, I’ve grown my blog into a thriving multiple six-figure business – and I’ve taught hundreds of students just like you how to do the same.
I have more than 50x’d my rate for creating sponsored content (yup, 50)
BossPitch takes everything that works in my business and takes the guesswork out of yours.
BossPitch® uses real-time industry research, tried and true tactics, and dynamic strategy to build your relationships with brands, increase your rates for sponsored partnerships, and effectively pitch + persist to hear YES from your favorite brands!

hey there, chelsie
BossPitch® gave me the confidence to stop working with blogger networks and to take my income into my own hands. It seriously has changed my entire life and business – all of my projects for Q2 are projects I pitched myself, and I’m being paid WAY more than I’ve ever been paid before. Totally changed the game for me in how I’m able to pitch, negotiate, and work with brands. I made the investment back within the first two months of taking it and now have successfully pitched and signed 3 year-long contracts at 4-figures each!!!
The best part about BossPitch® is that Erica has a Facebook group for students where she’s easily accessible and able to help her students on an individual level. She does pitch critiques, helps us with negotiating, and is constantly sharing new info as well as updating the course. It’s like getting two for one: an amazing course and 1:1 help!

makeup life and love
I have to admit, after taking a TON of courses that have promised on results, I was a bit skeptical. However, I would pay 9 million times more for BossPitch®. Not only is it refreshing to learn from someone who is ACTUALLY doing and using the same tools she is sharing, but Erica is a pure genius.
Her course helped me go from not being a 100% sure what to actually charge, to knowing my worth and adding tax. I have learned to negotiate with the best of them, and have increased my monthly revenue by 25% on brand deals alone.
With the tools and resources from this program, I was able to negotiate and land my first 5 figure deal with a super well known brand that I absolutely adore, as well as countless long term partnerships that have been a dream come true!
BossPitch® was hands down the most informative program that I have ever taken and it also helps deliver results if you follow Erica’s advice. Trust me if your goal is to grow relationships and make money from brands you love, then BossPitch® is for you!

La La Lisette
I was feeling extremely discouraged with my blogging income. Influencer networks were either asking for tons of work in exchange for free product, PLUS rights to my images. I knew that reaching out to brands directly was the way to increasing my income, but I was clueless on how to do so.
After taking BossPitch® I knew the value I bring to brands! I learned about the psychology of sales and negotiating. I was terrified to negotiate before, but now, it feels like a game.
Erica’s no-nonsense approach is engaging, and it feels like a good friend leading the way. I refer back to the course multiple times a quarter during pitching to make sure I don’t miss a step. The strategies in BossPitch® have allowed me to 10x my sponsored rates…and brands pay them!
If your business has outgrown the low-paying networks and you know you’re ready for the next step, don’t sleep on this. I made my investment back 5x with my first brand partnership after using the skills I gained with BossPitch®, and just landed my first ever $7k partnership!
Helen
Hel on Heels
I’m working with so many brands and it’s all thanks to BossPitch®! Before I was really relying on affiliate and influencer networks. Now I am making money on my own. I finished the course, pitched my first brand, hashed out the details and within two weeks had posted and received compensation. I have so many brands now reaching out to work with me, too. I currently have a list of ten collaborations I am working on! I also have a full-time job and this month I will match my income that I bring in from my paycheck.
Not only have I increasing my monthly income, but I’ve increased my followers. I was significantly under pricing my sponsored posts and collaborations. I learned what I should be charging and more than tripled my rates. I had no idea how little I was charging and how much I was limiting myself and my business by not pitching and politely persisting. I can’t recommend this course enough. Erica gives you the perfect formula for success. If you are ready to take the next step in growing your business, you must sign up for BossPitch®!

but first coffee
BossPitch® is a MUST-HAVE course for anyone looking to take their blog from a part time hustle to a full-time income. Erica doesn’t just break down how to pitch to brands but explains it in a step-by-step formula.
Invest in her steps and you’ll be collaborating with brands you’d always dreamed of. I secured 2 outstanding brand collaborations within 1 month finishing the course and felt empowered to DOUBLE the asking rate on two other collaborations.
BossPitch® is not “just a course” – it’s a coaching program and strategic system, so that you’ve got a coach, cheerleader, AND teammate in your corner rooting for nothing but your success. (Hi, that’s me).
With BossPitch®, there’s no need to choose between “basic” template teachings and expensive 1:1 mentorship
you get it all
Through the strategies and systems I teach in BossPitch®, I turned my own blog into a six-figure business with consistent 5-figure months, luxury vacations, and brand partnerships I only DREAMED about when I started blogging as a hobby in 2013.
now i'm helping you do the same
I’ll teach you why and show you how.
What sets BossPitch® apart is I practice what I preach – it’s what I’ve been personally practicing since 2013 and preaching since 2016, the second I had a shareable strategy to replicate my successes for YOU, too.
Now more than ever, budgets are tighter and teams are smaller – YOU are needed.
Your voice and value is unique…and worth a whole lot of money.
If you want to learn your true worth as a blogger, feel less frustrated when it comes to brand collaborations (or heck, GET brand collaborations!), and make MORE money getting paid the big bucks to do what you lovelovelove…your time is now.
And before talking yourself out of this
life-changing opportunity, ask yourself:
- What would it mean to stop stressing about dollar signs every month?
- To be able to get back to focusing on what I actually LOVE to do - creating and connecting?
- To stop sweating money talk with big brands, knowing with confidence that I can - and will - make the money I want and sign deals I deserve, with all of my continual hard work finally paying off?
Here's why you need to pitch
There are anywhere from 3 to 30 MILLION or MORE influencers in the world today. Statistically speaking, there’s less than 1 in a million chance of a brand finding you on their own.
There are creators with less followers than you making more money than you because they’ve taken their success into their own hands (instead of leaving it up to Google or blog networks).
The influencer marketing industry is expected to grow by approximately 70% in 2021 – to a market size of over $13.8 billion
34% of brands that run campaigns in-house say that finding influencers is the most significant challenge for them. (source)
Instead of hiring the Kim Kardashians and Real Housewives of the world brands are hiring more micro and nanoinfluencers more than ever before (aka, you!).
If “anyone can do it” then why not you?
Sure, there are countless “free” resources out there on the world wide web.
But “free” doesn’t equal “better,” as I’m sure you know from being SICK AND TIRED of being asked to work for free as a blogger.
So, friend, stop expecting free resources to get you expensive results.
How can you expect brands to invest in you if YOU won’t invest in you?

Erica is the founder, content creator, and editor behind Coming Up Roses. She’s also the creator of the THRIVE Podcast, author of Caffeinate Your Soul: 52 Monday Mantras, and designer of the THRIVING Collection. CUR was born in 2013 as a rosy distraction to a rigorous life at the Wharton School, and she fully expected to graduate college and start a more “traditional” 9-to-5 career in corporate marketing or brand strategy.
Instead, Erica dove headfirst into entrepreneurship, partnering with brands like Disney, Starbucks, Crest, Capital One, and more on paid brand collaborations. She fell in love with being on the influential side of influencer marketing and became a full-time content creator in 2016 after making CUR her thriving six-figure business.
Since first launching BossPitch®, Erica has helped hundreds of students like you increase their confidence and their paychecks. She has consulted on influencer marketing for Proctor & Gamble and various influencer marketing agencies, and is featured in a Harvard Business School Digital Marketing Course as an influencer marketing expert.
She’s most passionate about helping other bloggers recognize their own worth and make it happen for themselves, doing what they lovelovelove.
is bosspitch right for you?
If you’re a blogger and influencer who falls into any of the below categories, BossPitch® may be the perfect program for you:
You’re a beginner blogger and
- want to hit the ground running right from the start, avoiding the most commonly made mistakes and traps that other newbies fall into constantly
- care about being able to monetize your blog smartly + strategically, never feeling like a “sell out”
- are willing to work hard to make it happen, because you care about creating the most beautiful, professional, fun online space for your blossoming audience!
BossPitch® was born because Erica realized how much time she had wasted (*ahem* we’re talkin’ years) trying to figure it all out herself online. She had read every article on the internet, she had invested in every course under the sun – but nothing had cracked the code of communication with brands from start to finish.
So, she created it herself. BossPitch® will eliminate those years of stress for you, giving you the tools + tricks you need right from the get go!
or You’re a more established influencer and
- you’ve relied mostly on incoming requests in your inbox for sponsored work up to this point, but you’re looking to take control!
- aren’t sure if you’re charging the right amount – could you be charging more? SHOULD you be charging more??? (Answer: Probably yes)
- feel uncomfortable and/or nervous negotiating deals, or asking for more money.
- you’re unsure what to say to brands altogether when making the first move, so you usually rather wait until someone comes to you first.
BossPitch® kicks it all up a notch. You’ll learn tried-and-true strategies to build better relationships with brands, negotiate better deals, and bring home better bank.
You’re just sick of doing it solo, pointblank period. Regardless of your following size or experience level, you understand + value having SUPPORT in your corner, and you want to surround yourself with fellow bossbabes (and BossPitches 😉 ) who have your back, offer advice, and encourage you to do more with your blog than you ever thought possible.

frequently asked questions
What is the BossPitch® community like?
The BossPitch community is unlike ANY other! Our group of students is engaging together on Facebook every single day, asking questions, providing tips + tricks - even offering comic relief to get through every day with more confidence (and more money).
And unlike other groups, Erica is personally there on the daily, too, to A your Q’s and act as empowerment-in-your-pocket, for that on-the-go support when you need it most.
Do I get 1:1 coaching from Erica in BossPitch®?
While 1:1 coaching is not officially included in BossPitch®, you CAN post in the BossPitch Facebook at any point, and Erica will personally A your Q there. There may be additional opportunities for help directly from Erica, on designated Pitch Review Days and in Monthly Hot Seat Opportunities for 1:1 guidance.
Will I learn how to ask for money? And more money? And how to turn an offer for gifted product into money?
Yes, yes, aaaaaaand yes!
With over 25 different email templates included in the course, you’ll learn all of the above and then some. Bless up.
I'm so busy and really don't have time to add more to my plate. How long will this realistically take to finish?
You can bingewatch BossPitch in about six hours. So, a Saturday of Game of Thrones, or of kicking some butt in your business...what’ll it be? 😉
What if I don't have the time to do the work?
If you're piecing things together from the internet and winging, pitching brands takes SO MUCH TIME. The BossPitch system will SAVE you time. It streamlines the process of working with brands, to get you prepared, organized, and professional in your communications and negotiations to the point of YES.
What if I don't have a lot of followers?
I typically recommend a collective following of at least 1,000 - 2,500 before starting BossPitch. BUT, there are BossPitch alum who took the course without even HAVING a blog (yet). The keys here are INFLUENCE and VALUE. Whether you have an audience of 1,000 or 100,000 (or more), are you able to truly INFLUENCE them? And are you able to provide VALUE to both your audience, and to brands whose products and/or services you talk about? If so, than BossPitch is for you.
Will BossPitch® work for me?
How does immediately sound? You’ll have instant access to everything that is BossPitch, and you’ll be instantly added to our kickass Facebook community to join your fellow BossPitches who have already #BeenThereDoneThat.
How soon can I start? How fast will I be able to put into the BossPitch® community, and have access to all of the modules, printables, downloadables and lessons?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. BOOM. You will also have access to any + all later launches, all updated course content, any new materials, etc.
How long do I have access to the course?
Here's the thing. It's Pitching & (Politely) PERSISTING. Some of my best deals took MONTHS to happen. That's not taking the easy way out - it's the truth! Therefore, because of the nature of the course and content being taught, there won't be refunds. But no worries - some of my best pitches were 11 months start to finish, so if you're slow to see results, IT'S OK - you can (& will) do it!

Before finding Erica and BossPitch®, I had no idea what I was doing, nor did I have the confidence to actually send pitches. I had sent a couple with zero results based off of pitch “fluff” I found in my research – that was it. Now Erica – she’s the real deal.
I have taken several other pitch courses since taking BossPitch®, and no one lays it out as honestly and brilliantly as Erica does.
Because of her, I land most of my pitches and have had valuable long lasting relationships, which is what everyone is looking for!
Kirsten
the wandering brunette
BossPitch® is hands-down THE BEST INVESTMENT I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY BLOG. Like there is no if’s, ands’, or but’s about it.
Even though I had a general idea of what a pitch should include and how to write one, this course helped me perfect that email and I immediately went from getting maybe a 10% response rate to nearly 100% response rate.
On top of the email responses, I more doubled my rates, made more over the summer with my blog than I did at my internship, and secured my very first four-figure collaboration.
If you’re stuck with pitching or just getting started, this course will be your game-changer.
Priyanka
Feel Pretty with Pri
Prior to BossPitch®, I was feeling overwhelmed with all the unpaid and underpaid partnerships I was signing on to and knew there was something I missing in the way I was communicating with brands to turn my passion into a profitable business. BossPitch® taught me how to pitch like a pro and navigate negotiating with brands in numerous situations. Erica is straight to the point and each module is incredibly helpful, absolutely no fluff which I appreciate.
I went from relying on influencer networks to reaching out to brands on my own. I also learned how to communicate my value to brands, learn my worth as a creator and increased my rate 5x what I normally charge. Working 1:1 with E, I was able to nearly triple my investment and match my full 5 figure income from 2020 within the first 2.5 months in 2021. I also secured multiple DREAM partnerships within weeks of the 1:1!
I have so much confidence pitching and negotiating thanks to BossPitch and Erica’s 1:1. I know my value and am able to communicate that with brands so effectively that my sponsored content calendar is filling up faster than it ever has!

Erica is one the most knowledgeable and savvy people I know in the industry, who simultaneously has a heart to help others find the same success she has. BossPitch® is a manifestation of that, and I couldn’t love it more!
After working for very cheap for a company 2-3 times, I finally had the guts to ask to be paid better, and had the knowledge on how to explain why I was worth being paid more in marketing terms. Because of that, it’s turned into my highest collaboration yet, with them meeting what I asked for!!!
She lays out how to work with brands and make a living blogging in a clear, simple, yet powerful way. And even more than that, she is always available to answer questions for sticky situations and support whenever needed! She helped me know my worth and stand up for it, in a way that was eloquent and appropriate for building wonderful relationships with brands. Having her as a guide in the stickiness of collaborations led to me eventually doubling what brands were offering me, which for my size and engagement, equated to thousands of dollars.
I always recommend her and BossPitch® to friends/colleagues who are struggling to make a living blogging because of the difference it made in my career!

blonde & ambitious blog
I started my blog in April 2016. I am passionate about writing and marketing and knew that at some point, I wanted to make it my full time career. Around November – December 2016, I was getting REAL good at having companies want to send me product and I was seemingly content with that. Then I realized…I’m worth WAY more than free. My time is worth more, my audience is worth more and I WAS WORTH MORE.
So, when Erica launched BossPitch® for the first time, I was ALL IN. I took the course in less than a week and jumped into pitching head first. My results? Pretty incredible.
1. My rates doubled, almost tripled overnight.
2. Companies ACTUALLY started to pay me, HAPPILY.
3. I had made more money in THREE MONTHS than I had made the ENTIRE YEAR of 2016. Let that sink in.
5 months into 2017, I TRIPLED my income from the last year alone. Tripled. My. Income.
Now, some of that can be attributed to my following/readership/stats in general continually raising, but more than that, I know how to talk to companies and pitch my heart out.
I’m traveling to the Dominican Republic on a press trip in June (thanks to my new-found pitching skills), working with big brand companies, and I quit my 9-5 job. Blogging is my career, and BossPitch® was a HUGE part of making that happen.
Take the leap. You will be SO thankful you did. Pinky swear.

I’ve been blogging for less than a year and charge 4 times the rate of friends with double the readership who have been blogging for 5 years! A lot of that has to do with the confidence gained from BossPitch® and the community around the course.
The course really did pay for itself after two sponsored posts and now I continue to see the returns of the investment as limitless. Plus anytime I started to doubt myself or my pricing, it’s awesome to be able to hop back in the course, revisit a module, and get a confidence kick in the behind from Erica!

BossPitch® is in a league of its own and is SUCH an amazing course. I was able to increase my rates, I’m now in constant communication with lots of amazing brands, and BossPitch® is what has helped me take my blog from a side-hobby making nothing to a profitable business income.

BossPitch® has completely changed the way I approach brand partnerships. Prior to taking the course, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to reach out to a brand and pitch an idea, nor would I have had the confidence to negotiate to make sure I’m being paid what I’m worth. You can quickly make back your investment from BossPitch® by implementing the tips Erica shares! Her pricing guide and template emails on exactly what to say to brands have been invaluable.
the bosspitch promise
BossPitch® works if you do! I don’t want this program to collect dust on your digital shelf – I want it to change your life. You get out of BossPitch® what you put into BossPitch®.
If you’re ready to take your blog to the next level and do what you *really* lovelovelove every single day, this is hands down the course + community for you.
As your coach, cheerleader AND teammate in the game, I’m putting in 100%.
Will you?
I’m so excited to see you in class, BossPitches.
