Write personalised emails to streamers and creators
Creators get hundreds of generic key requests and ignore most. A short email that shows you've watched their videos gets opened, and gets your game played.
Steps
- Make a list of 20 creators who play games like yours, noting one specific recent video of each.
- Generate Steam keys for review in Steamworks and keep a log of who gets which.
- Run the prompt below for each creator.
- Check each email mentions something real about their channel.
- Send, log it, and follow up once after a week.
The exact prompt
Write a short email (under 120 words) to a creator who plays [genre]. Their recent video I liked: [title and what I liked]. My game: [one-line pitch], release [date], [link]. Offer a Steam key, no strings. Mention they should disclose the free key per UK advertising rules if they cover it. Friendly, no pressure.
✓ Check before you send
- Every detail about the creator is true.
