No experience is fine if you have proof. Make two or three spec videos for brands you genuinely use, treat them like real ads and lead your pitch with those. Reach out to small brands first, they say yes faster. List your niche and rate where brands search for creators and turn your first job into a testimonial fast.

How to land the first client

Proof beats a track record. Make the proof, then pitch.

Spec work is your proof

Real-looking sample ads do the convincing for you.

Start with small brands

Smaller brands reply faster and take more chances.

Be easy to find

List your niche so brands can come to you too.

Spec ads got me hired with zero clients. I made three for brands I loved and one of them actually bought them.

Small brands say yes fast. I got my first three clients from businesses with under 5k followers.

Turn job one into a testimonial and a usage case study immediately. It makes job two so much easier.
