It’s very similar to hiring a salesperson on a commission-only basis but paying a high commission. With affiliate marketing, they’re willing to pay you on the back-end, and typically pretty well.
So why would they be comfortable in sending you their cash in exchange for content they won’t be sure will increase sales for them or not? They don’t really know you or what you’re about.
So if you reach out to a brand and they tell you to sign up for their program, don’t discount this. I prefer to only do paid sponsorships where I’m already a fan of the product and would have made a video about the product or service anyway.Īffiliate marketing is actually a form of sponsorship. I have done a few paid sponsorships on my YouTube channel, but I would pay you $20 if you could figure out which ones.
Sponsorships come in different shapes and sizes and can range from free products, to $100 per video, up to many thousands per video.
Ok, so how much do sponsors pay YouTubers? How much can you make with YouTube sponsorships? This will help you analyze and better understand the competition and help you get paid by a YouTube sponsor. YouTube is amazing because you can see years of your competitors’ content right there in the public. Spend a few hours doing research on channels in your niche. The answer to this is different for every creator and niche – whether it’s 1,000 subscribers or 10,000+ subscribers. Potential YouTube sponsors need to see that you have a clearly defined niche and understand your target audience.ĭo you have enough of an audience where the outlet makes sense for the company and they will get a great return on their investment? You can’t create 3 videos and then expect a company to want to pay you money. Many creators make the mistake of starting too early.
I would never buy a Law office simulator (who would) and therefore as I review games for Thumb Culture there was no sense that I was doing something I couldn’t or wouldn’t do in real life. I generally don’t dislike simulation games but I like them to be of something that I am probably never going to have the opportunity to do in real life and perhaps by focusing on the gaming channel it was all a little bit too close to home for me. Those with ambitions to be a Youtuber who are perhaps a bit too young and skint to buy the proper kit to successfully stream games on twitch and youtube will probably love this game and it is worth a look for them.
I do think the game would work well as a mobile game and indeed there are ios and Android versions already out there. I must admit it did become quite addictive but ultimately I did get bored with it and didn’t really care in the end if my character became a youtube star or not. I started my review with a caveat (typical Lawyer) and it was always going to be an uphill struggle for Youtubers Life OMG! to make me a fan.
