I sought this out because, I think a brand has just asked me to DM them for a collaboration. I wanted to gain knowledge on how to reply going forward and if there was anything I should be aware of. I thank you for the info and I am onto your next video.
Thanks so much for clarifying how to navigate new brand affiliation offers… my IG account just exploded with offers & your channel was an invaluable resource!
Thank you for this information I have been trying to find more information on paid collaborations. I was starting to think that I wasn’t able to get paid because I was getting alot of “Dear” and “Influencer” email. I thought it was because my followers that I wasn’t being offered money or my rates. This helped me understand brands more thank you!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
I'm so glad you found this helpful! This video is from a few years ago but I definitely have more updated videos on my channel about similar topics if you want more info 🥰
I'm so happy this has helped! I also have some more recent videos about negotiating and working with brands, feel free to check out my channel for more!
🙏🏽 I’m so grateful to have found this video, you literally answered all my questions. I get DM’s all day telling me to pay for shipping . honestly I knew it was a scam because most of the jewelry pieces don’t cost that much; and I believe I would be paying for the jewelry not the shipping; & hell no I’m not spending money to work with you ..,so I didn’t see much of a deal there LOL but thank you so much for this information , you just got yourself a new subscriber ❤️
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! I received an email back from a brand who wants to do a paid collaboration today! I had no idea how to respond, so I did a Google search on "how to respond to a brand for a paid collaboration" and this video came up. I sorted through a couple of blog posts, but your video was, hands down, the most helpful. I was literally writing my response back to the brand as I watched your video. Fingers crossed it turns into my first paid collaboration. BTW, are you or did you do theTH-cam For Bosses program? I heard you mention that you were re-taking a TH-cam course because the course had just relaunched and I was like, "Wait a minute! I'm in TH-cam For Bosses" and Sunny had recently relaunched her course. I'm a huge Sunny fan and just recently enrolled in her Authority Accelerator program too!
Ah thank you so much for this comment! Please let me know what happens with the brand! And yes, I'm in TH-cam for Bosses! I just started really implementing the strategies this summer though so very excited about that. 😊
This was very helpful as we are getting bigger on TikTok and looking forward working with brands just hesitant on which offers to go for. Definitely subbing
Idk why you don't have more subscribers?! You gave such good and practical advice, and I was even able to quote some of the stuff that you said in email replies. I have more than one TH-cam channel, and my second one has been growing a lot lately, so I've been getting brand offers like crazy. I found your video SO helpful 😅 You have a new subbie with me!
Love the info you have provided Austen! Couple of brands have approached me to display their appliances in my cooking videos or post a link in the description. I haven't replied to them yet so will definitely keep your guidance in mind when I respond back to them. Thanks much!
Ooo, I've never thought to ask brands how they measure the success of a campaign! Def adding that question to my list. Just updated my media kit and recently and don't have any rates on it! I've gotten burned in the past by having those on it, haha! I'm always looking for a good way to decline campaigns or redirect the initial offer to include payment. Thank you for these tips!!!
Really amazing video! And 100% agree with the Lipstick refer, it´s SO accurate!!! Obviously you (I mean; I won´t!) ever answer that either but totally think like ´Don´t you value my time AT ALL!??" 😂😭Thank you for these great videos, seeing so many of them since I found you (yesterday!) :) :)
they're getting more aggressive with "affiliate" marketing and I'm like if you reach out to me why assume I would just want your random product instead of money upfront
So much value here, as I am starting to receive more and more offers... “like the lipstick example” 😂😂 this was super helpful! I love your vibe, just subbed. Your content is great ❤️❤️
This was very helpful as we are developing a website or call it a portal for influencer marketing and some of the information you gave was very helpful.Thanks and influencers be ready to register with us shortly.
Love this video! So helpful. I was approached by a brand that t has nothing to do with my brand but it would be my first sponsorship.This is a gifted exchange and they have a lengthy requirement for shots and video. How do I respond that I am not interested in doing all of the things they are requiring?
Thank you! I'd just be super to the point but polite in your response. Personally, I would try to see if they're willing to gift without specific guidelines to let you be creative. Something like: "I'm so honored you thought of me! I don't have the bandwidth to accommodate gifting-only campaigns with specific requirements, but if the brand is willing to gift and leave the creative direction up to me, I'd love to move forward." If they reached out to you they must like and trust your content. If they say no, you can always re-negotiate!
New sub! I’m here because I just received one of those DMs you mentioned in this video. You’ve just offered a ton of great advice. Thank you so much for what you do! 🥰
Hello! new audience here! Do you think it's a good idea to provide my TH-cam metrics when a brand asked for it to help me with my rates? Of course I'm not gonna be showing my cpm/rpm. And thanks a lot for this, it's very helpful.
🙋🏾♀️this was helpful, However I was confused on what would we say to brands that reach out on immediate expectation of a gifted collaboration? Do we immediately negotiate in some type of appreciation compensation or Do we assume they know they're budge can't afford it or are they straight forward with it usual and trying to take advantage of a smaller audience influencer. I feel like I made the wrong reply to a brand, I hope you can answer my question maybe if I am wrong I can still turn things around🤷🏾♀️
Good question! I almost always assume if they’re offering gifted it’s because they don’t have budget. I use the “don’t have enough bandwidth to accommodate gifted partnerships” reply and every now and then they reply and ask for rates. Depends on how interested you are in the brand. Hope this helps!
@@AustenTosone yes, do you actually say “don’t have enough bandwidth to accommodate gifted partnership” can you tell this is my first and i’m freaking out a little? 🤣
Hi Austen! So glad to have found you. We have brand offers and are totally new to this sort of thing. What is a goof dollar amount for a TH-cam video? They reached out to us.. We’re a small but growing channel🥰
good question! you now have the option on TH-cam when uploading a video to check a box that says "includes paid promotion." I would definitely recommend doing this if you're doing a paid partnership with a brand. I also update my FTC disclaimer in the description box to say that the video contains sponsored content.
yes! I've noticed from what I've seen on TikTok that UGC content creators are really underpaid so asking for what you're worth and having a thoughtful conversation over email can work whether you're creating content for your audience or theirs.
I find this so helpful I needed everything tho becz I'm new to this I decided to give it a try and I have some experience on how to negotiate becz I'm an entrepreneur myself but it's been quite so thnx alot u giving me the courage it's not all influencers that give tips 🤗
This is so informative. Thank you. How do you assure that the brand pays you on what has been agreed upon? Do you wait for payment first before you actually do the job?
Thank you for watching Zakwe! I usually have them create a contract to sign. I wish they'd pay before the job! But standard in the industry is between net-30 or net-60 days after completing the content so that's typical.
Thank you so much! My husband’s social media is growing and we’ve been asked to collaborate. We know Zero. I’ll be watching your other videos. What other sites do you recommend?
Thanks for this video I just received a email from this brand that wants to do a “collab” but I want to reply professionally with a proper response that will get me paid hopefully 🙏 if not ima keep it moving cause it’s my time & energy spent on making these videos. Thank you!!!
Hey, a brand approached me to promote pre roll in my TH-cam videos and they’re asking how much do you charges for pre roll? In general how much does it cost or minimum how much one should charge? And will they send pre roll video !?
Omg hi! I have a brand that wanted to me to do an entire tiktok plus mini vlog for free and said they don’t have a budget. So I asked for organic gifting with no specific requirements, to which they initially agreed to, but I just received a contract listing perpetual use, a 10 day creation period, and specific TikTok’s with trends. How should I respond to them since they ignored my initial offer?
I am completely new to this as a content creator. A brand wanted my photo to be featured on their shop. It's already tagged with their product. But when I click on the feature request, it takes me to their ig shop and no further intructions.
I wouldn't agree to have your photo featured without payment! If they're using your content to sell products, you should be compensated. I would tell them they are welcome to repost it organically but to email you for your rates if they want usage rights.
I was offered a paid promo and free product for home goods (weighted blankets at $100) but idk if its the right move cause ive never heard od this brand.
Thank you for the valuable information! I just had my first collaboration meeting and watched your videos before. When it came to payment they offered more than what I had asked. Did I under value myself and my work? Either way I am happy to have had my first paid partnership ☺
I had one brand that sent me an email but had CC'd everyone else they were emailing too. I was so confused at first but then just deleted it! Maybe if it was an Hermes lipstick?! :)
What if you have gotten dms not by the brand its self but another account that say they are scouting for an ambassidor. I find it kind of scetchy but they arent asking for me to pay and are saying they will pay me but its not the business account but it has a desent following.
It usually depends on the brand! Whenever possible I try to get them to pay through direct deposit and provide them with my bank info so they can transfer in the money. If you're using PayPal they will likely take a Goods and Services fee.
can you make a video talking about a situation where IF you're interested in a product and they aren't able ship it to your country like Canada what are you suppose to do?
We are new in youtube. And i got an email recently from a companies who wants to do a collab with us. They want us to review the product they will send. They said that we are one of the first people to review it because it hasnt been relesed yet. I dont know how to respond to them that is why i am doing my research. Thanks to your tips. I will then respond to their emails. #jackyandthewifey here :)
Hi I'm here cuz brands has been reaching out to me when I only have 80 followers and I only posted once of myself on IG and I'm just 14 so I really don't know how to do any of these or idk if I'm even allowed to do it. Idk if it's a scam too but some brands seems legit so I would like to know how do I do it being 14? Or if I'm allowed?
I just had a brand reach out to me and asked to collaborate. I asked what type of budget they had. They responded we deal with each influencer individually and asked my rates. Then I gave them my rates and then they replied they wanted unlimited usage rates. I replied I wouldn't be able to do that but would be open to 6 or 12 month usage rights. Then they ghosted me. SMH
I have a question! This jewelry brand just asked to do a “long - term collaboration.” I don’t know what that means and I don’t know what they want from me. How do I respond?
I just got an email today saying that They will pay me 1600$ per week..All i need to do is to post their product on my timeline 5x a week is it legit or Not?Please let me know..
Hey cutie , YOUR VIDEO IS SO FREAKING HELPFUUUUUUL ,i add it to my playlist , but i have a question please , when i colab with brands for free products , they told me that i should pay the fee shipping , which is something i can not , so please suggest me a solution 😭😭❤❤❤
@@AustenTosone Thank you so much Austen , so what you advise me to do if it was a real brand and i have to pay the shipping !? Please , im sorry to bother you 😥❤❤
I say keep it as short and sweet as possible! “Thanks for thinking of me! I’m not interested right now but if anything changes I’ll let you know.” Done!
What do you do when a brand has taken advantage of you? Said they would send products PLURAL and wanted the one highlighted for their product of the month in a video... wanted to approve video first... then only sent one $18 item🤨😳🤨
I have been asked by a brand to buy their products first with 40% discount and if my followers buy using my discount code then I will get commission. What should I do in that scenario?
I would do what I said in the video and politely explain that you don’t have the bandwidth for unpaid collaborations but if they’re interested in a paid project you’d be happy to send along rates! Totally reasonable response
I keep getting brand collab requests on Instagram but it annoys me because why is it a random person telling ME to Dm the brand. If they really wanted to work w me the brand themselves should dm me tf! Lol
I got hit up from that brand and it doesn’t seem super legit to me. I’ll look again when they circle back but it didn’t seem legit and I didn’t see people who looked like me on their page ( if I can remember right )
How do you respond to brands that want to give you to be an "affiliate". They offer discounts codes for you and your followers. Then you make commission off the codes. These seem to be 90% of the collaboration offers I get.
Casey I love you for asking this question!! This is annoying for sure. I would reply to them and say "I appreciate you reaching out! I am currently prioritizing paid content creation projects over affiliate partnerships. I'd love to work with you on a sponsored post on [X PLATFORM]. Here's an example of content I could create for your brand (send a recent cool pic)." Some will say no but maybe some will say yes!
@@AustenTosone Thank you so much! My inbox is flooded with "affiliate programs". I'm new to your channel so maybe you already have a video about this, but what advice do you have to to separate from the affiliate programs to paid content?
@@CaseySmithOfficial sure! I have a video linked in the description of this video called how to work with brands where I talk a bit about that and this blog post about affiliate/ambassador collaborations: www.keepcalmandchiffon.com/blog/10/21/makeup-brand-ambassador
@@AustenTosone Thank you so much I'm going to check it out right now! So, glad I came across your channel. I am small creator with about 1,000 followers on IG and 400 youtube subs and your content is SO helpful! Just subscribed and am going to binge all your videos ☺️
I got this offer from "Vista Create" to collaborate with my YT channel. They said they would give me $2000 for one video, and also that they would send me half of it as soon as I signed a contract. I never did this before, so I am suspicious. No one ever offered me a thousand bucks before I did anything.
What was your biggest takeaway from this video? Tell me in the comments!
Media kit (I don’t have one lol) and KPI
See my response below, thanks!
The email verbiage was literally what I used in my email to a brand. Thanks!! Really helpful

Then I gave them my rates and then they replied they wanted unlimited usage rates. I replied I wouldn't be able to do that but would be open to 6 or 12 month usage rights. Then they ghosted me. SMH
i had this brand reach out to me but i have no idea what it means by rate and availability 😭😭
Once you accept to collaborate with a brand, this might sound weird, do they find your address or you just give it to them?
You send to them! Only send your address to brands you trust
Thank you for your reply!
I have a question! This jewelry brand just asked to do a “long - term collaboration.” I don’t know what that means and I don’t know what they want from me. How do I respond?
Definitely just ask for clarification on what that means! Is it a month long? 6 months? Don't be afraid to ask for more info!
I just got an email today saying that They will pay me 1600$ per week..All i need to do is to post their product on my timeline 5x a week is it legit or Not?Please let me know..
Hey cutie , YOUR VIDEO IS SO FREAKING HELPFUUUUUUL ,i add it to my playlist , but i have a question please , when i colab with brands for free products , they told me that i should pay the fee shipping , which is something i can not , so please suggest me a solution 😭😭❤❤❤
Hi thank you! Definitely don't agree to pay for shipping. It's likely a scam!
@@AustenTosone Thank you so much Austen , so what you advise me to do if it was a real brand and i have to pay the shipping !? Please , im sorry to bother you 😥❤❤
@@mariemdabich6470 a real brand would never have you do that
Hey where is this beautiful top/dress from?
Renting from Nuuly!
How do I politely decline a brand asking me to purchase products to become ambassador?
I say keep it as short and sweet as possible! “Thanks for thinking of me! I’m not interested right now but if anything changes I’ll let you know.” Done!
What do you think about collabs that day they will give you “free items” but you pay for shipping? Shouldn’t that be covered?
Yes! It should be! Run away 😅😂
@@AustenTosone even if it’s a big brand ?
@@naislee3401 especially if it’s a big brand! They should 100% cover that cost
What do you do when a brand has taken advantage of you? Said they would send products PLURAL and wanted the one highlighted for their product of the month in a video... wanted to approve video first... then only sent one $18 item🤨😳🤨
Which tools you like best to track success so both parties are on top of the overall performance? 🙏
Kalypso is great for post-campaign data reporting!
I have been asked by a brand to buy their products first with 40% discount and if my followers buy using my discount code then I will get commission. What should I do in that scenario?
Nah sounds like a scam! Run away
😭😭😭One brand told me to pay shipping fee and they'll pay me 2500$ a month
Is 10 dollar good pay from small brand ?
Personally I’d say no! If you’re just starting out I wouldn’t do anything less than $100 and even that is still low by today’s pay standards
How would you respond to a brand who reached out to you to promote their products I’m struggling with giving my rates in a professional way ?
I would do what I said in the video and politely explain that you don’t have the bandwidth for unpaid collaborations but if they’re interested in a paid project you’d be happy to send along rates! Totally reasonable response
I keep getting brand collab requests on Instagram but it annoys me because why is it a random person telling ME to Dm the brand. If they really wanted to work w me the brand themselves should dm me tf! Lol
those are scams
Is it a scam if they offer free things but say I have to pay for shipping?
Yes I think it is!
How do I be assured that a brand who asked me to buy their product and they will reimburse the amount to me, will surely do that?
You could ask for a contract but I would avoid those deals when possible. Not a real collaboration!
@@AustenTosone Thank You. Love from India. ❤
What if they call you your IG handle ...the brand is react activewear
It may mean they pulled you from a list of creators online! Not usually the best sign but depends on what they ask for in the email
I got hit up from that brand and it doesn’t seem super legit to me. I’ll look again when they circle back but it didn’t seem legit and I didn’t see people who looked like me on their page ( if I can remember right )
Hello, we are new brand from Japan and looking for influencers to collaboration, DM and let's discuss the plans.
Why brand want our account of bank
Dear influencer 😂
How do you respond to brands that want to give you to be an "affiliate". They offer discounts codes for you and your followers. Then you make commission off the codes. These seem to be 90% of the collaboration offers I get.
Casey I love you for asking this question!! This is annoying for sure. I would reply to them and say "I appreciate you reaching out! I am currently prioritizing paid content creation projects over affiliate partnerships. I'd love to work with you on a sponsored post on [X PLATFORM]. Here's an example of content I could create for your brand (send a recent cool pic)." Some will say no but maybe some will say yes!
@@AustenTosone Thank you so much! My inbox is flooded with "affiliate programs". I'm new to your channel so maybe you already have a video about this, but what advice do you have to to separate from the affiliate programs to paid content?
@@CaseySmithOfficial sure! I have a video linked in the description of this video called how to work with brands where I talk a bit about that and this blog post about affiliate/ambassador collaborations: www.keepcalmandchiffon.com/blog/10/21/makeup-brand-ambassador
@@AustenTosone Thank you so much I'm going to check it out right now! So, glad I came across your channel. I am small creator with about 1,000 followers on IG and 400 youtube subs and your content is SO helpful! Just subscribed and am going to binge all your videos ☺️
@@CaseySmithOfficial that’s so great! I just subscribed to your channel. Glad to be connected 😍
Hello! This is BD Maggie from Kolify, and we'd like to offer you the chance to make money by making videos. Are you open for a little discussion?
I got this offer from "Vista Create" to collaborate with my YT channel. They said they would give me $2000 for one video, and also that they would send me half of it as soon as I signed a contract. I never did this before, so I am suspicious. No one ever offered me a thousand bucks before I did anything.
BTW these people ar emailing me from the .cz domain, which is from the Czech Republic. Is this a scam or what? I love it if you would answer me.
@@mohit3dart I did not get shit. WHen I asked them why they were emailing me from he czech republic they stopped responding.
