    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.

    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!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊

    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!

    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?

    • @AustenTosone
      @AustenTosone  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

  • @darkbeauty8990
    @darkbeauty8990 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    🙋🏾‍♀️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🤷🏾‍♀️

    • @AustenTosone
      @AustenTosone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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!

    Once you accept to collaborate with a brand, this might sound weird, do they find your address or you just give it to them?

    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.

    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.
