Influencer Outreach Drafts

Creator lists become personalized pitch drafts, ready in your outbox.

Saves about ~2 hrs per week

What it does

  • Loads your creator target list (name, niche, platform, link)
  • Pulls a real detail about each (recent post or angle)
  • Drafts a personalized pitch referencing that detail
  • Outputs drafts with the creator's contact ready to send

How it works

  1. Creator list loaded
  2. Per-creator detail fetched
  3. Personalized pitch drafted
  4. Drafts queued for your send

What's included

  • Creator list
  • Detail research
  • Personalized pitch prompt

Set it up yourself

Follow these 4 steps in order. You will need accounts for: Sheets, Claude.

Step 1: Build the creator list

  1. Create a sheet with columns: Creator, Platform, Niche, Profile URL, Best Contact (email/DM), Note.
  2. Add 10-50 creators who fit your campaign.
  3. Add a 'Detail' column that the research step will fill.
  4. Sort by fit score (your manual ranking).
  5. Keep the list realistic — outreach dies in the details.

Watch out: Fit over follower count — a micro-creator with your exact audience beats an influencer whose audience is adjacent.

Step 2: Fetch per-creator detail

  1. For each creator, pull one recent public detail: latest post title, pinned video topic, or their tagline.
  2. Use the platform's available API/scraping or the manual note column.
  3. Store it in the Detail column.
  4. Handle failures gracefully (leave blank rather than error).
  5. Test on 5 rows.

Watch out: A stale or wrong detail is worse than none — skip creators whose detail couldn't be fetched.

Step 3: Add the pitch prompt

  1. Build: 'Draft a short outreach email to {creator} about {campaign}. Open with a genuine reference to their {detail}. Keep it: under 90 words, specific about what we want (post, review, collab), low-pressure, no gimmicks. Return the email + subject.'
  2. Load your campaign offer and incentive into the prompt.
  3. Instruct: no 'Dear Influencer', no fake flattery.
  4. Paste with API key.
  5. Test on 3 creators and review.

Watch out: Genuine-reference opening is what separates pitches from blasts — if the detail is lame, the email should be too (skip instead).

Step 4: Queue for sending

  1. Write the drafts with the creator's best contact.
  2. Use your outreach tool (or Gmail drafts) — never send without a pass.
  3. Mark rows: drafted, sent, replied, converted.
  4. Track reply rates by niche to focus future lists.
  5. Review conversions monthly.

Watch out: Track replies per batch — the reply rate is the single metric that tells you if the personalizer is working.
