Week 2 of Pitch & Post Challenge

This past week I spent some time reflection on the last 2 weeks of output for this challenge. And a few things stood out clearly for me. In today’s post, I’m candidly sharing what the next few weeks will look like. But first, I’ll share an immediate win from pitching…

LFG 🔥

Pitching Works

I use a tool to retrieve email addresses for me. Most of the emails from my pitches last week bounced. I didn’t do any pitching on Thursday or Friday (the 1 year anniversary of my mom’s death) so we’re talking small numbers here.

However, the 4 that I manually found worked out. And from those 4, I opened my inbox Monday AM to this:

That’s a 25% conversion rate for my pitches last week. Content doesn’t produce numbers like that that fast. I hope I convince you to cold/warm pitch your way to your net financial goal over this series.

Pitching for Workshops & Writing

I’ve been a paid freelance writer, on and off, for a few years now. Check out my bylines for HerAgenda.com. Writing is something I love when it’s in my wheelhouse. And it builds credibility. So I’m going to focus 25% of my pitching effort ach week.

This morning I pitched for Yahoo creator network.

Posting Strategy

I am not a social media person. I hate short form. But it’s working beautifully for my channel growth on YouTube. I’m almost at 500 followers (I added most of them over the last few months, and this is net growth) Shortform has helped me there.

Maybe I shouldn’t commit to this publicly, but I’m planning to go all in on two things for 2026: YouTube and live. I’ve decided to post daily content for YouTube kicking off soon.

Long form content bridges trust gaps and establishes rapport better than anything out there. And no one wants to do it. So I’m going in.

Changes to this series

I don’t want to bore you with the daily details of what I’m doing. So instead of posting daily for this series, I’ll post a weekly update on Thursdays/Fridays (depending on when I end my week of pitching).

Stretching my daily priorities isn’t great for me. While this is important, doing the actual daily work is much more important.

But in just 2 weeks the amount of clarity I have now versus when I started JUST from taking imperfect action blows my mind.

That’s all I got for now.

What are you planning to go all in on in 2026? I actually reply to my readers.

Love you,

Nesh
