Pitching Digitalocean

1. 1.

   Check your fit against the data above. Digitalocean mostly buys Technology channels. If your channel matches that profile, you are pitching with the odds, not against them.

2. 2.

   Reference their recent deals. A pitch that names the creators they sponsored last month reads like research, not spam.

3. 3.

   Lead with your numbers: average views, audience niche, and a rate anchored to what similar deals are worth. Our rate calculator gives you a defensible starting range.
