This guide gets you from sign up to your first pitch. It takes about five minutes.

1. Sign in

Go to app.onghost.com and sign in with Google or Apple.

2. Connect your Gmail

Ghost sends and drafts emails from your own Gmail, so the brand hears from you, not from a tool.
1

Open settings

Click Preferences in the left sidebar, then go to Email Sending.
2

Connect Gmail

Click Gmail Connection and approve access. Once it says Connected, you are ready to send.
No Gmail yet? You can still browse brands and write drafts. You just need a connected inbox to send and to use auto replies.

3. Tell Ghost about you

Ghost writes better emails when it knows your story.
  • Go to About Me and add a few Memories: what you make, who you are, your rates, anything a brand should know.
  • Add your handles in Social Media so brands can see your reach.

4. Find your first brand

Open Search Brands and search by name, industry, or a keyword like “pet” or “fitness”.
  1. Pick a brand that fits you.
  2. Ghost writes a personalized outreach email.
  3. Review it, click Unlock Contact & Send, and it goes out from your Gmail.

5. Let Ghost handle the replies

When brands write back, Ghost can draft your responses for you. Turn this on in Outreach & replies.
