I could listen for hours about all the experience you gathered with sponsors. I loved this format, however i think Nick could have made it more of a "podcast" style to make it more casual. The quick cuts to keep the tempo is understandable tho. Great collab! Really enjoy the knowledge sharing. Thank you Justin & Nick!!
I've been doing a lot of brand deals this year and a lot of this is spot on. You can't sit idle on your hands and think good sponsors are going to reach out you have to go out and chase. Another good place to meet brands is going to conventions I've met ALOT of high end sponsors just going to their booths at these trade shows and chatting it up.
Educating brands is one of the things that made it so I could get a 5 figure deal. On the brands side, they really underpriced me. Jumping on a quick Zoom and explaining what they asked for and how it is priced they immediately admitted they weren’t sure what would be fair for the platform. I saved a deal and helped a brand learn about the industry here on TH-cam. Great advice
Nice! It seems the best path is usually communication. If it comes to sales or collaboration in general taking the effort to understand the other person and their needs is always a good idea.
I'm a brand new creator (just started this week) and I just discovered your channel. This is amazing information and I absolutely appreciate it! I feel like I struck gold when I found your videos. Thank you SO much for all the hard work you do to help small creators!
@@NickNimmin Thank you! Fairly terrified and even though I studied up before I launched and THOUGHT I knew what I was doing...turns out everything was wrong and I've been adjusting things since lol. Channels like yours are super helpful and make me feel way more confident! Thanks again :D
@@ArmchairDeity I got dumped by the algorithm so I stopped making content. Even people who subbed/clicked the bell weren't getting notified lol. I'm guessing because I had to use AI voicing. I'll be eventually getting back to it and re-recording everything and voicing it myself and see if I can relaunch. But for now it's on the back burner for me.
When I started my new travel channel, I got my first partner with 20 subs and less than 100 views total. Ok, I knew the guy from before, but still he was willing to support the channel.
You have created amazing video content. I just watched the video and your video quality is admirable. I am very impressed with your content, I analyzed your channel and noticed that you are struggling for video views and video ranking. May I share you some tips how you can reach your goal?
There is some golden information in this video, I was lucky early on in my journey I was approached by a big brand in my niche that I have been with now for a few years and they have been amazing to work with. Recently I thought up a new idea for a second channel that I want to start and approached another brand whom I have done work in the past and pitched the idea and they are going to support it, which will help me get it off the ground. And sold off the back of everything that is being talked about here. I plugged right into what they were about and made it all about them
The advice on pricing strategies and considerations for deliverables, usage rights, and exclusivity was enlightening. It was interesting to learn about tying package offerings to brands' campaign goals for upselling opportunities. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on aligning proposals with the brand's objectives for successful collaborations.
@NickNimmin Thanks Nick. The only things I can think of selling are eBooks and courses. I'm currently working on an online course. Just finished watching this video. Great tips from Justin - my big takeaways are the packaging deals, and not just sending a load of stats when pitching for a deal. Do you have any tips on collaborating with other content creators?
This was sooooo helpful. As a new and growing fast content creator, i am getting co. asking me to do videos on their products. Thank you very much, Ray's
I've always been the calm, passive one, but honestly there are times when I wished I lived on the opposite side of the coin ❣️thank you for the encouragement, keep shining
Thanks for another great video Nick. Have you done a video on the "Invalid Traffic" issue that is killing small and medium (up to 500K sub) channels? It appears like TH-cam is blaming everyone except big channels for the fact that their advertisers discovered that TH-cam is ripping them off.
I definitely have to reach out but I’m always on the fence because I feel like there’s something specific I have to do. Basically I overthink it by thinking about a specific message or way of reaching out but I feel that maybe I’m just holding myself back. I’m gonna make it an end of year goal to reach out to one brand and no matter how it goes just learn from the experience.
Just hit over 3400 in subs and I bust my butt daily bring daily uploads and daily live streams over 1.3 million views. I think it’s time I start to reach out and try to land some sponsors. Thanks for the content here I’m trying to absorb as much information as possible on this topic. I really admire all you creators out there trying to make it everyday it is a true battle and work and learning is the only two things that gets you to where you want to be.
I was just thinking that I wished there was a way to save videos because this is some great info! Then I found the “save” tab by sliding the tabs to the far right!
This video was great thank you❤. I wanted to get sponsored by nvidia but I never knew when it would happen but thanks to this video I’m going to reach out to them! Tysm for this🎉🎉
Amazing video Nick. I think I’m gonna have to watch it a few more times and take some notes haha!! Hope you’re doing great man, I haven’t been around lately! Peace ✌🏻 🤗
This is so encouraging, thank you Nick and Justin! Something is going on with my channel and the algorithm and I’ve been gaining 2-4 subscribers per day for the past month, apparently from different videos, based on the comments. I think some brands in my niche might be open to me approaching them. I’ll check out Justin’s newsletter. ❤
Always used your teachings...still I think TH-cam hates me😂. After almost 3 years, pretty good videos, 7.7K impressions on a 4.5 ish CTR, we managed to reach only 370 subs. Sad story......I will probably quit, but it was a beautiful journey anyway!😊 Thanks Nick!🎉
Thanks my channel is growing and I always watch your TH-cam advice to help me get it down Nick! I can't believe I have already gotten 250+ subscribers in the 3 months of posting videos on TH-cam! I would like to get sponsors, but probably need to get more subscribers. I would love to do mini commercials LOL. It's fun!
@@NickNimmin ok sounds good. I hit 10,000 views today. My next milestone according to TubeBuddy is 15,000. Should get there in a week or so. Just focusing on putting out informative and entertaining content ;)
i NEVER comment on youtube videos, however this was incredible information. A few weeks from now ill be posting a video on youtube. I went to the amazon rainforest and lived with a tribe for a week to learn their way of life.
excellent Nick! I had these thoughts in mind . I got invited for a franchise and my channel helped, even being small. But i aim to approach a company exclusively for this. I just want to buy and use their products more before i do it hahah
I appreciate that this video focuses on legitimate growth strategies for TH-cam. It's crucial to build a channel on trust and quality content. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips!"
Wow! This was an awesome video! Thank you so much for all the insight provided in this video. As a fairly new TH-camr I was always wondering how this stuff really worked.
We have approached the brand we want to partner with multiples times, even in person and have included them already in our content, and they just use their own team - so looking for that up and coming company to partner with to help them and us grow.
You know? Navigating TH-cam on my own has been super overwhelming. For quite some time I watched every do and don’t video there was it seems. I should really thank you for having a stand up channel and not using fear as a driver to your channel or making promises only to try and sell something. I cherish the content you put out and when I have a question I always search your channel first. You’re good people.. Trusted.. Thank you ♥ @@NickNimmin
The only things this showed me was two things. The stress of getting sponsors and how much I'll be taken advantage of. I'm almost afraid of it now. I'm glad I'm small for now!
Great info, Nick and Justin! Nick, have you done a video (or could you do one) about how to embed the "Subscribe" logo you had in the lower right corner of this video? Ditto for the products logo in the lower left corner.
Once you have the graphic all you have to do is log into your creator studio, then go to customization, then branding. Upload it into the watermark area.
Invalid traffic affected my bros channel and looking around alot of small channels are running through the same problem and youtube doesn't say anything about it. What's really going on coz this is turning out to be frustrating especially to smaller channels.
This is a very big issue right now. There is a lot of ongoing discussion online on Twitter, Reddit and other places. TH-cam have been responding where they can and are encouraging all creators to lodge a ticket with Creator Support. There's an overview of what invalid traffic is here - support.google.com/youtube/answer/10285842?hl=en
Thanks again for inviting me on Nick!! I could talk about sponsorship strategy for hours lol. Appreciate you!!
Thanks so much for sharing these tips! So much value!
@@NickNimmin Thankyou so much for sharing these valuable tips to grow faster...More power to you @Nick💪

Your insights are absolutely valuable and I appreciate you coming on to help us little guys have a better chance at success! Thank you :D
I DO NOT WANT NO TEAM DEALS OR BUISNESS DEALS

How did you even meet/ get in contact with them ?
I understand that not seeing results in the beginning can be discouraging, but keep going. You can’t cheat the grind. Be patient and never give up

I feel like I need to listen to this 5 times. This is amazing and I really appreciate you guys putting this together. I'll see you soon at VidSummit!

Love this! Started watching you when our page had under 100 subscribers and we are up to 23,000 and we would like to start learning more about this!
Oh nice! Congratulations on the success you’ve had. It’s definitely time to start looking into this side of things.

You read my mind! 😊...this is what i need. I've never been sponsored for a TH-cam video.
With your type of content you can also create useful things you can sell.

Do you have any tips on collaborating with other content creators?
