1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,300
All right, guys, now I want to talk really briefly about sponsorships and brand deals.

2
00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:10,500
This is a favorite of mine practically, because I just got my first sponsorship and brand deal, you

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:11,790
know, probably about a month ago.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,720
But one of the things that I want to talk about is, you know, before we actually jump into the different

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,600
places that you can go ahead and, you know, look through some brand deals and I'm going to hop over

6
00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:23,610
my computer and I will throw that in there, you know, so that we can kind of look through one of my

7
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:27,330
favorite Web sites for brand deals after I'm done talking about this.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,360
But one of the great things that I love about sponsorships and brand deals, I pulled up so I can read

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,970
it here and I'll also pop it on the screen for you so you can see it is a lot of people are under the

10
00:00:35,970 --> 00:00:41,190
misconception that, you know, brand deals and sponsorships are only available to like top Instagram

11
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:43,110
influencers or top YouTube channels.

12
00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:45,000
And that is simply not true.

13
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:51,150
Let me read you this clip right here, straight from Forbes analysis they did recently that they put

14
00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:51,390
out.

15
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:53,250
And they're basically encouraging brands.

16
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:58,080
And this is, you know, tenfold fold now to go after smaller influencers and smaller creators.

17
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:04,620
So it says 82 percent of people are likely to follow a micro influencers recommendation, which proves

18
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:09,310
you don't need to rely on huge mega influencers to advocate for your brand.

19
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:12,080
Now, that is good news for brand and sponsorship deals.

20
00:01:12,090 --> 00:01:16,650
People that have them, as well as creators like Lycos that might not have a mega following.

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,180
It's good for them because they don't have to shell out the hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay

22
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:26,590
the mega brand to pay the mega mega influencer excuse me, you know, to sponsor their content.

23
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:28,620
Yes, they're getting a better a bigger audience.

24
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:31,710
But how dedicated how much of a following are they really getting?

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,140
You know, a lot of people and this is straight from from Forbes themselves, because I read the article

26
00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:42,150
basically, you know, a lot of people say that they trust micro influencers more that they relate with,

27
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:44,130
that they have built that trust factor with.

28
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:48,990
Because when somebody recommends it from a from a big brand or from a big, you know, following or

29
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:52,800
big YouTube or recommends a brand, it feels it feels like sponsorship.

30
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,900
It feels like a brand new.

31
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:57,360
And you know that they're just getting paid to say that there's nothing necessarily wrong with that

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:57,870
by any means.

33
00:01:58,050 --> 00:02:03,850
But it just it just the conversion rates might not be as good, hence the Forbes article.

34
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:08,820
So what I'm trying to say is brands are starting to realize that they might be getting a better deal.

35
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:12,390
This is something that I talked about, you know, buying Instagram influencers on stuff.

36
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:16,680
When you're doing Shopify stores and stuff like that that people are starting to realize is brands are

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,060
starting to realize that they might get a better deal paying a smaller influencer, a smaller YouTube

38
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:27,690
or like potentially you, you know, a smaller amount because they're followers in there and their subscribers

39
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:32,340
are more dedicated and more willing and likely to trust a recommendation from them.

40
00:02:32,350 --> 00:02:34,790
That doesn't mean go out and recommend, you know, something you don't believe in.

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,070
I'm not telling you to do that, although that is your prerogative.

42
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,710
People want to do it.

43
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:40,100
What I'm trying to say is don't sell yourself short.

44
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:45,000
There are a lot of brand deals out there for you and you can hop over and grab one of these brand deals

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
from a site that I'm going to recommend to you here.

46
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:51,240
If you're willing to put in the work and reach out to other brands, these brands are not going to necessarily

47
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,210
find you because there's a lot of you know, there's a lot of other creators your size at this point

48
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:58,880
in time, depending on how big your channel is.

49
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,240
But do the work, you know, reach out to brands and brands that you know, you like and you trust that

50
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,020
fit your niche.

51
00:03:04,410 --> 00:03:07,860
Some of the places that you can check out our number one, my favorite, which we're going to hop over

52
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:10,920
to in a second on my laptop is fame mint.com.

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,390
Hands down my favorite.

54
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:14,880
Another great one is channel pages, dot com.

55
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:17,460
Another great one is Isaiah Dotcom.

56
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:21,120
And I'll be popping all these up on the screen so you guys don't have to, you know, go through them.

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,500
You can see the spelling of them.

58
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:28,480
And then another favorite of mine is great vine logic dotcom for the top Brandell sites, for the top

59
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,400
sponsorship sites.

60
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:35,910
Sponsorship sites can't break it down with syllables today, but those are four great prandial sites

61
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:39,990
and sponsorship sites that you can check out where you can find deals like this, where you can find

62
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:40,920
sponsor content.

63
00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:47,550
So you can basically give yourself another way to monetize your channel and turn YouTube into a career.

64
00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:52,350
So that being said, let's hop over to my laptop and I'll show you a little run-Through of fame bit

65
00:03:52,590 --> 00:03:54,030
and some of the opportunities.

66
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:55,290
All right, guys.

67
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:56,970
So here we are on my laptop.

68
00:03:56,970 --> 00:04:02,670
And I want to talk briefly about four of my favorite places to find brand deals and sponsored content.

69
00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:06,600
Now, I already went through, you know, some of the other ones here, so I'll list them for you just

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,040
so you can see them physically.

71
00:04:08,430 --> 00:04:09,510
You know, if you want to check them out.

72
00:04:09,690 --> 00:04:11,520
Channel pages is a great one.

73
00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:13,920
You know, Isaiah is another great one.

74
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:18,960
And, you know, Grapevine logic is another great one where you can find sponsorships and brand deals

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,790
and reach out to people that are willing to pay you to, you know, basically talk about their content

76
00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:27,570
for a given amount of time or plug something in there in your video, depending on what it is.

77
00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:29,940
Now, I'm going to break down for a bit because it is my favorite.

78
00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:31,650
However, use them all.

79
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:34,920
Don't just settle for fame, but use them all, sign up for all of them.

80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,420
They're all free to sign up for.

81
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:40,620
And then you can obviously reach out to brands and sponsorships on each one.

82
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:42,000
All right.

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,860
So here we are in my fame bit right here.

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,470
And you can basically check through the sponsorships.

85
00:04:46,470 --> 00:04:50,430
Now, another great thing that you can do is you can organize if you're not comfortable reaching out

86
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:53,510
or you don't know a way to reach out to other collaborators or other users.

87
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:57,900
You can reach out to other people on Facebook and request a collab with them.

88
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:59,760
So it's a great place to kind of connect you with.

89
00:04:59,970 --> 00:05:03,510
The creators, but we're here for the sponsorship, so I just kind of wanted to bring that to you because

90
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:06,040
it's another cool feature of the actual website.

91
00:05:06,630 --> 00:05:11,070
Now, if we look through, we can kind of sort through some of the available sponsorships and brand

92
00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:11,960
deals to us.

93
00:05:11,970 --> 00:05:15,390
So if we filter this by category, we also filter by price.

94
00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:18,680
But you probably want to filter by category depending on your niche.

95
00:05:18,690 --> 00:05:22,290
So I don't know what your niche is or what you plan on getting into.

96
00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:26,850
So obviously, take this and mold it to whatever you are, but I'm gonna show you some of the ones available

97
00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:31,080
to me specifically, and then you can obviously, you know, take that spin that off.

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,880
So there's plenty for beauty in fashion.

99
00:05:33,090 --> 00:05:36,030
There's plenty for gaming and apps which could somewhat relate to me.

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,250
Some planning for health and health and fitness.

101
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:38,800
There you go.

102
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:39,840
The pet Michigan.

103
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:44,370
And then tech products would probably be more geared toward my channel because mine's an entrepreneur

104
00:05:44,370 --> 00:05:46,640
channel and I'm making money online channel.

105
00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:52,290
So, you know, if I were looking for a Brandell sponsorship, I would sort through these and basically

106
00:05:52,290 --> 00:05:54,270
look at the offers available to me.

107
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:58,010
So let's check out some of these USA influencers for awesome new digital.

108
00:05:58,380 --> 00:05:59,340
Don't know what that is.

109
00:05:59,340 --> 00:06:03,570
Language exchange, no YouTube influencers out.

110
00:06:03,690 --> 00:06:07,950
So this is a this is an opportunity, you know, basically where you can run through if maybe you're

111
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:12,180
a blogger or you have like a daily blog, if you're running through, you can literally plug this in

112
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:15,960
your video as you're in the car and basically talk about why you love this.

113
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,890
This this, you know, karma or whatever can be subtle.

114
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:22,230
It doesn't have to even be like like, hey, this is a sponsorship deal.

115
00:06:22,650 --> 00:06:24,840
You can obviously make it that way, but it can be subtle.

116
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,400
You can kind of integrate it in there as well.

117
00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:30,600
Now, this is someone that I could probably do because I do have, you know, premier pro tutorials.

118
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,960
I do have, you know, Photoshop tutorials on my my channel.

119
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,730
And that's something that I understand.

120
00:06:35,730 --> 00:06:41,160
So I could obviously go through and make a tutorial on McGarvie, the video editor, and then, you

121
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,770
know, plug it as as, you know, a sponsorship deal.

122
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:47,280
And then I could also probably get an affiliate link and make more money on top of that.

123
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,890
So Mugabes paying up to 10 grand.

124
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,220
It's very relevant compared to my channel, as you'll see here.

125
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,750
And, you know, basically what they want is they're looking for creators of different sizes who will

126
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:03,210
be excited, different, different sizes here, keywords excited to create interesting content about

127
00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:08,070
our video atter they're open to any ideas for collaboration that might work in our mutual benefit.

128
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,060
So if you look through here, you can basically send a proposal to them, you know, basically say your

129
00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:13,410
fee, what you're actually charging.

130
00:07:13,410 --> 00:07:14,570
They say up to ten grand.

131
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:15,380
That is their budget.

132
00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:19,080
So, you know, for me specifically, I only have like fourteen thousand subs right now.

133
00:07:19,590 --> 00:07:25,050
For me, I might charge like a thousand to make a tutorial and recommend, you know, movie.

134
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:28,020
So it's up to you to set your own budget.

135
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:29,850
And the more you do it, the better you'll get at it.

136
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:33,270
And, you know, you don't want to set it too high, but at the same time, you don't want to sell yourself

137
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:33,900
too short.

138
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,250
So there's a delicate balance there.

139
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:39,810
It's hard to give a one size fits all for everybody because I don't know your specific channel and I

140
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:41,310
don't know your specific situation.

141
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,550
Another great opportunity that pops up for me right here.

142
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:46,920
So a Canadian, I actually looked at this one before.

143
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:50,930
So this is you know, I have so many videos on my channel.

144
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:55,260
Give you another example of, you know, how to grow on YouTube, different things about the algorithm.

145
00:07:55,650 --> 00:08:00,150
So there's basically a lot of people that watch those videos are interested in making their own YouTube

146
00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:01,730
videos, much like you are as well.

147
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:06,600
So what I could basically do is I could plug this in those types of videos as a sponsorship deal.

148
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:10,080
And this is basically a rent a studio for a day type gig.

149
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,830
So they're paying up to a thousand dollars and they're looking for their video production.

150
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:16,080
Studio is fully equipped and open for public use.

151
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:17,100
They have three packages.

152
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:22,410
Basically, they want to rent out their studio and they want to pay people and creators to basically

153
00:08:22,410 --> 00:08:23,430
promote it to their audience.

154
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:25,320
So you can send a proposal to that.

155
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,240
Let's find another good one really fast before we hop off, because obviously it's going to vary depending

156
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,490
on your niche and your specific situation.

157
00:08:32,490 --> 00:08:38,040
So hop on not just for a bit, but all of them and check out the opportunities that are available to

158
00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:38,550
you.

159
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:44,460
Here's another great one, a video, you know, so for for a feel more online video editing software,

160
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:49,230
another great example of something I can make a tutorial with and then, you know, basically collect

161
00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:50,340
on the affiliate revenue.

162
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:54,280
If I drop an affiliate link as well as, you know, just collecting on the brand.

163
00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:58,140
So I'm not saying if you sent a proposal to every one of these companies, every one of them will say

164
00:08:58,140 --> 00:08:59,820
yes or even respond.

165
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,100
Typically speaking, on average, I've sent I've probably sent about 50 to 100 proposals out.

166
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:08,700
And I've heard back from a couple of companies and only one has said yes to me so far.

167
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:12,450
But if you're willing to put in the work and you're actually willing to reach out and send a proposal,

168
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:14,460
this can actually work for you.

169
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:18,690
And like we talked about before, like I dropped that that thing up on the screen, I'll drop it back

170
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:23,070
up on the screen, as you talk about here in a second, and I'll read it one more time to you to inspire

171
00:09:23,070 --> 00:09:23,280
you.

172
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,820
As we get off, 82 percent of people are likely to follow a micro influencers recommendation, which

173
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:35,010
proves you don't need to rely on huge mega influencers to advocate for your brand.

174
00:09:35,010 --> 00:09:40,080
That is straight out of the Forbes, you know, straight out of Forbes article that I was talking about.

175
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:44,380
And basically what that tells brands is, you know, you saw that right there with movie.

176
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:47,580
They literally said, you know, where is it?

177
00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:50,280
Creators of of different sizes.

178
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,650
So not just big creators, creators of different sizes.

179
00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:57,180
So for the right benefit, for the right price, they're willing to work with other creators.

180
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:58,710
So use that to your advantage.

181
00:09:58,710 --> 00:09:59,790
You know, reach out to some brand.

182
00:09:59,990 --> 00:10:02,270
And start getting some sponsorships.
