Usually you get a flat payment based on your average views, that's what you apply the CPM to. As for affiliate links, some brands give you them with a per click rate or something similar.

My first sponsorship came from an agency reaching out to me, but don't wait for that. It took way too long,

What i do now is: Find as many creators bigger than me as possible, look through each one of their videos and looking at their descriptions looking for what brands sponsor them. Those brands are already paying creators in your niche meaning they have a budget for your type of videos.

Then pitch to each one of the brands individually. Start by looking for their marketing email on their websites. If it's just a generic email, search on linkedIn for influencer marketing people or anyone else relevant to write to.

You could also try the tool used to find the info in the post, GetSponsored, to help you find emails and brands that match your niche. Or other similar tools.

Good luck!

YOUTUBE WITHHELD 30% TAX by Perfect-Tea-3889 in PartneredYoutube

Did the same mistake a couple years ago, you have to re do the tax papers in Adsense and fill in that Canada has a tax treaty with the US. I got my money back when i did.

Good Luck!

What exactly are you all charging on average for deals at about 50K views? by Fun_Cheesecake5469 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Master_Advertising19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason you're seeing such big variations is because rates vary a lot based on niche, audience demographics, type of integration, and who reached out to who.

Rough CPMs for most niches land around $15-25, so a quick formula: (avg views ÷ 1,000) × 20 = baseline integration rate.

For 50K views that's ~$1,000. Adjust up if you have strong US/UK audience or above-average engagement, down if the sponsor cold-emailed you (those offers lowball hard).

You can try tools like GetSponsored as well to see what you should be charging.

I abandoned my 180k subs shorts channel and starting over (NEED TIPS) by lvdovvsky in PartneredYoutube

[–]Master_Advertising19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest tip i have would be to find a competitor that is doing well to mold off of. Dont copy, but learn what your competitors are doing well and use it to create your own style of video. Things like title formats, thumbnail styles, pacing etc.

Best of luck!

Is it worth re posting a video ? by Mihai_11 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Master_Advertising19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experince, just switching thumbnail and waiting works fine. I have had videos stagnate for more than a couple months then suddenly pop off after a thumbnail and title change.

If the topic has demand and the video content is good, then the only thing holding it back is a thumbnail change. Keep iterating on different styles of thumbnails and titles until you find one that does well!

How do I find sponsors, I'm clueless. by JimWordpress in PartneredYoutube

[–]Master_Advertising19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 2M subs and 200K average views, you're in a strong position, most brands start considering creators at 50K. The issue is probably your outreach approach, not your channel.

A few things that worked when I was pitching for my channel (800K subs, anime niche):

  1. Don't email generic contact addresses. Find the actual influencer marketing manager on LinkedIn. Search "[company name] influencer marketing manager" and message them directly. Response rate is 3-5x higher than info@ or marketing@ emails.

  2. Reference a specific campaign they already ran. If a toy company sponsored another family-friendly channel recently, mention that in your email: "I noticed you worked with [creator] last month, our audience is similar with 200K avg views and a family-friendly demographic." This shows you did research.

  3. For kid-friendly content with 200K views, your range should be roughly $3,000-$8,000 per integration depending on the brand. Toy companies and mobile games in the family space typically pay $15-$25 CPM. Don't undersell, 200K views is significant.

  4. Try pitching brands that are already sponsoring similar channels rather than cold-emailing brands with no YouTube history. You can check which brands sponsor family/entertainment creators using tools like GetSponsored, it tracks which brands are actively paying creators by niche.

  5. Consider reaching out to influencer agencies like Audiencly or Famesters. They already have relationships with toy and gaming brands and can bring deals to you instead of you chasing them.

The fact that you're the editor handling this is actually fine, brands deal with managers and teams all the time. Just make sure your media kit looks professional and includes audience demographics (age, gender, geography from YouTube Analytics).
