How Making Money with YouTube Sponsorships

Youtube - Another popular and great way to make money on YouTube with your vlogging channel is to find sponsorships. What brands do you like to use the most? Do you have a favourite brand that you review often? Is there a brand that you would love to feature?

Those brands are great examples of potential sponsors for your YouTube channel, and with sponsorships from them you could start getting free products and payments in very little time. You just have to reach out and get sponsored.

Now, you’re probably thinking, “That’s easier said than done!” The thing is, though, that getting sponsorships is actually much more straightforward than you might think. Yes, some YouTubers become overnight sensations through viral videos, and brands jump to sponsor them. Honestly, though, that kind of story is not the norm.

Most YouTubers get their sponsorships the same way you will…by contacting potential sponsors and asking them.

If you have a particular brand in mind, you can contact them directly, or you can use an online sponsorship platform that features brands that are interested in sponsoring YouTubers.

You’ll need to write a proposal that tells your potential sponsor who you are, what you do, and why they may want to sponsor your YouTube content. Don’t write a single form letter and send it to multiple brands. Instead, make each proposal unique to the brand you’re writing to. Also, don’t make the proposal about you – make it about your sponsors!

In other words, don’t tell them why you want a YouTube sponsorship. They know you want sponsors because sponsorship will help you make money so that you can continue to grow your YouTube channel. They want to know how it will help them.

So be sure to highlight all of the ways that sponsoring your YouTube video(s) will help their brand gain more exposure, a better reputation, get more sales, etc. Be clear, concise, and specific, and you’ll be more likely to get a positive response.

When you do get a sponsorship for your YouTube channel, be sure to disclose this information to your audience. If you’re creating a sponsored YouTube video that features a particular product, for example, be sure to mention that the content is sponsored. If you’re honest and upfront about your sponsorship, your audience will really appreciate it!
