But, you may be a fit for Pitch It Perfect if …

• You’re not obsessed with being an Insta-celeb.

C’mon now. You KNOW beauty samples and YouTube followers don’t pay the tab during a girls night on the town. You’re more social media lover than socialite, and very okay with that.

• You’re pro-authentic growth, thumbs down bots.

You’re a smart cookie, and with algorithm smarts these days, you know that true engagement with your followers is what’s going to tick those numbers up, up, up—and that doesn’t happen in two sleeps.

• You’re a hard-worker.

Watching my parents raise me taught me the value of a little elbow grease, and that’s how Pitch It Perfect works, too.

• You’d rather learn “how to fish” yourself.

You know even if your content is good, that doesn’t translate into followers/hits/growth, and you’re ready to learn how that works.

• You’re brand new, and fire-cracker ready to roll.

Your goal isn’t to be followed by everyone, but to share a message that maybe just that one person really needs—let’s start out together on the right foot.
