Most of us wait for brands to find us or we pitch the same D2C brands everyone else is pitching. One group almost nobody here goes after is micro-SaaS. These are small software startups that just launched and need users fast, so creator content works really well for them. A lot of them are US/EU companies paying in dollars.
1. Find them on Product Hunt. They have new launches every day. Note down the name, website and category and only keep ones that fit your niche. If you make content for designers, look for design tools. If you make finance content, look for finance apps. Apify has ready-made Product Hunt scrapers if you want to pull lists in bulk.
2. Keep only the ones with money. Look for a paid pricing page and decent launch-day traction. If they already have an affiliate program, that's your warmest lead, because they're already paying for distribution. You can even join the affiliate program first and pitch a paid integration once you've sent them a few signups.
3. Find the founder's email. Get the name from their site or LinkedIn, run it through Apollo or Hunter and verify the email before you send.
4. Pitch with your actual numbers. Keep it short:
Hey Alex, saw [Product] launch on Product Hunt last week. Congrats on the response.
I run a YouTube channel for freelance designers, [X] subs, usually 15–25K views per video. A lot of my audience is exactly who [Product] is built for.
Open to doing a sponsored integration? Happy to send my media kit and rates.
5. Make it a habit. You don't need fancy tools at the start. Send 10–15 personalised emails a week from your channel email and follow up once or twice after 4–5 days. If it starts working and you want to scale up, look at Instantly or Smartlead on a separate warmed-up domain so your main email doesn't get flagged.
It's slow for the first few weeks. But once one or two say yes, SaaS brands tend to sponsor every month, not just once.
