# MakerSignal Monetization Action Pack

## Where do I find brands? Do they find me or do I pitch?

Level: PRO

Use both a clear portfolio for inbound inquiries and selective pitches to relevant brands. Lead with an audience problem and a specific concept instead of a generic request for sponsorship.

## How it really works
A concrete fit makes a proposal easier to evaluate. A visible portfolio provides evidence of style and delivery, but cannot guarantee replies.

## Worked example (illustrative, not a verified case)
A cycling creator pitches a rain-visibility demonstration to a relevant equipment maker and links one comparable tutorial instead of sending an unfiltered media kit.
