How to find shoutout customers?

My problem is: I got two meme pages, combined about 480k followers. Obviously this isn't the problem, but not finding any collaboration partners is. Basically, I'm searching companies, small IG brands, other IG pages etc. to collaborate and purchase shoutouts on my page.

I'm doing a bit of PPC quizes and selling some shoutouts to 3-4 customers/month, which is literally nothing, looking at other accounts.

btw: my account is german


Does anyone have an idea how to find collaboration partners?
(I once tried contacting like 500 websites with the GSA auto submission contacter (for websites), but that didn't bring any "leads")

Instead of contacting websites, why not contact people directly on IG?

You know who is buying shoutouts on other accounts from your research. Make a list of those accounts that are already buying shoutouts and then DM those people.

It takes work but it's easier to find people than you might think.
 
Thanks for your reply!

Yep, that's exactly what I usually do.
I only get about 5-10 messages per month from interested buyers (either other IG pages or companies).
And one day I decided to just try something new, thus buying the GSA Website contacter and just trying it out.

Actually, it's quite random. My page is in a specific "meme niche"; so I could contact companies who are in the field (which I've done with the GSA Website contact).


But I´m looking for a process / an idea of how to find potential customer (e.g. in the explore tab is a "Shop" section now - contacting them), or scraping following's of a shop and sort these accounts for shops and look into their following's (for that I'd need an approach on how to do it; like does Jarvee has a feature with which I could find businesses?)..
Currently I'm kinda stuck or limited in thinking of the right method..
 
Does anyone else have a solution or an idea of how to get / scrape companies to contact?
 
I would use the parent child method so that you are getting thousands of clicks on your profile a day. Then include something in your profile like "DM me to grow" and when people inquire, you can tell them your shoutout rates.
 
Thanks to both of you for your replies! :)

Take a look at shoutcart. Sign up there and you can find numerous clients seeking promotions.

Sure, I've signed up on Shourtcart a while back, but due to the big mass of sellers you either need a completely ridiculous cheap price or a high amount of followers to get any sales through them. At least, I haven't made any sales through Shourtcart since I've signed up at them.

Sorry, I don't think you correctly read the post.
Why should I try to grow my account / get thousands of clicks on my profile a day with the parent child method (or as @BrazilianBusinessman would prefer: soldier and army method) when I already got a solid amount of followers (thus likes and clicks on my profile)?
The goal is to find companies that are interested in buying shoutouts or want to collaborate for a (preferably) long-time period.
 
I own an agency that matches brands with influencers.

Indeed the fact that your account is in German makes it very limiting who you can work with.

But I am happy to take a look at it if you would like to pm me.
 
Contact accounts who run ads on Instagram
Contact accounts who bought shoutouts on other meme pages already

How much do you charge?

Indeed, my prices aren't the cheapest, but in the German market, they're pretty comparable.
Moreover, my account is very active as it has been growing over the last couple of years completely without SfS. The only type of ads we run is paid shoutouts and promotions.

In the past, I've been contacted by companies more often and regularly and have had long business relationships and regular buyers, so the price isn't the biggest problem.
But over the last few months, I'm not getting as many sales as I was used to. That's why I want to try a more "own initiative" approach and contact potential customers myself. (For e.g. new Dropshipping customers, other Instagram pages, etc.)

But still, here is my "basic" price list (it's set higher on purpose, so I have room to negotiate down and offer discounts on packages such as 4x shoutouts and 8x story shoutouts, etc.):
Post: 12 hours - 120€; 24hrs - 210€
Story: 12 hours - 50€; 24hrs - 80€

Don't forget that my account is in the German market, therefore prices being higher than American pages by default.
On top of that, I haven't had any big issues with prices yet.

I would prefer having more information about you and your agency before working together with you.
E.g. with what (german) pages have you worked with (or if you aren't allowed to tell me that, at least share experiences / possible approaches on how you might be able to help me.)

Exactly for such "methods", I was looking for.
Particularly the second method you mentioned I've been doing quite often - outsourcing competitors and contacting these pages.

I am not allowed to link you to my agency in here. But i use some audit tools. I was going to do an audit for you and give you the results. Then from that you would be able to conclude the options open to you.

Sure, sounds like a plan.
Would I be paying you monthly? A percentage of the revenue?

My agency does not charge influencers anything, we are paid by brands to find matching influencers.

In this case i was just offering to do an audit for free.

Sure, that sounds like a steal ;)
Have you had German influencers in your portfolio yet?
