Week 1: choose a direction
Pick a few categories you genuinely understand, such as beauty, fitness, food, home, or tech. You do not need to lock yourself into one forever, but a focused starting point makes your first samples and pitches clearer.
Week 2: create sample content
Make three to five short videos using products you already own. Practice a product demo, a problem-and-solution video, a testimonial-style video, and a simple unboxing. The goal is to show range, not to wait for perfect equipment.
Week 3: build your portfolio
Put your best samples, niche, services, and contact details in one easy-to-share place. A simple hoo.be portfolio lets a brand see your work without opening a large attachment.
Week 4: start outreach
Make a short list of brands that fit your content. Send personalized emails, keep track of who you contacted, and refine your pitch based on replies. Your first month is about building proof and a repeatable process, not chasing a huge deal immediately.
