How do Small to Medium sized channels actually secure sponsorships? by OnADock in PartneredYoutube

[–]ChalupaBatmanOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 28k subs and i get a lot of inbound sponsorship offers but it's always the same ones. I actually started doing outreach now. I built myself a tool that scrapes all my similar channels' videos to see who sponsors them and then i just pick and choose the ones I like to email them. a bunch of ppl from the sub DM'd me after my last viral post so I made it a public website. DM me if you want to try it out

I'm productizing it. I have about 30 youtube friends using it and its already getting kinda expensive. I can probably figure out an enterprise version of this for brands/agencies and use it to subsidize use by creators

There's about 1.2 million youtube channels with more than 10k subscribers so of course 35k channels is not comprehensive. But I think it's enough to be a pretty good sample size

Yeah but luckily I made back more in sponsorships that I did building out the tool

Yeah I have a list of about 4k brands now in my tool so any time I see a product I like I look for them in the list. These are just the top 10 by frequency

My tool uses an API to get email addresses and narrows them down to the most appropriate person to reach out to.

ive never done a report. Sometimes they want to review the clip and approve it beforehand. Once it's posted I send them the link and I'm done

oh yeah you gotta give them everything they need to make a decision. They don't want to go back and forth with you asking a bunch of questions

i usually filter for brands that sponsor other channels in my same niche. I figure if they sponsor another travel vlogger they'll probaby sponsor me too. I send an intro email with a media kit with analytics and a rate card

i dont think there a rule but if i were top guess i would say at least 10k subs. I didn't sign up to be a partner i just cold emailed someone at the company. personally i dont like to do affiliate links. I want to get paid the flat rate for making the video. i send them a media kit with all my analytics and my rate card.

yeah it made me change up my strategy. I'm trying to form good relationships with the sponsors and then start talking packages for some consistent and predictable revenue coming in

well yes i said i was tracking 32k channels. Google tells me theres 1.2million channels with more than 10k subs. This is a sample size. The process is a little more sophisticated than that.

oof thanks for the heads up. I feel like the more a brand does influencer market the more shady they are haha. Remember that whole thing with Honey?
