@@EleeBot I mean. He's earning from youtube. Qw watch youtube for free with mostly skippable ads.I don't think he's completely wrong... But He ain't charging us directly. Its indirect. We use ou internet facility provided by our ISP to whome we pay to watch the video and "ADS" using our data, Therefore our money that we use to buy data is used to ad youtube/google sponsors. so we're paying Google a much larger amount than what we're paying the youtuber. Well if u really wanna watch it for free.. I suppose mcdonalds has free phone chargers and Free Wifi as well.. just buy an ice tea and sit there for a whole day using free wifi for videos😆
Yo Harris, I’ve been watching your videos and thought of a pretty dope idea for you. You should have a series where you renovate people’s streams, kind of like the house renovation shows but with streams if that makes any sense. I feel like it would be super interesting to watch!
We all have to start somewhere as a small content creator. When I first started I had only 1 view. Just be Consistent that is key!!! Keep it up. God bless 🙏🏼
Every time I hear a brand rep say "We LOVE small creators & growing with them." I just hear, "We LOVE people without an agency looking out for them. They don't even know what's going on & we can keep them in the dark as they grow." That's why what you do is so important for new creators in this world.
Oh don't worry my friend I took notes! 1. What is the best way a creator can spark up a conversation with a brand? Start with your pitch! 30 seconds of who you are, what you do, the focus of your channel, what you want from the brand. 2. As a Brand Rep what is your biggest pet peeve from creators? Don't go into a conversation with no plan on how to collaborate with the brand. Research the brand! How will the brand fit into what you're currently producing. Have a creative plan, where do you want your channel to go and how can the brand help you. 3. Do you ever work with small streamers? Yes, they're excited about being able to grow with the streamer. Talent > numbers. Building the relationship organically during the streamer's growth period is important! 4. What's one small piece of advice that you would give to someone prepping to come to an event and network? Have the 30 second pitch down for your channel that makes you valuable and unique. What separates you? Do brand research!!! Value proposition to how our brands can integrate.
Just throwing this out there : I'm sitting at work with some free time between tasks and have found myself watching your videos back to back. I'm a small streamer. I recently made affiliate by reaching out and inviting people to come watch, never asked for a follow or anything, just giving off the "Hey why don't you drop in and say hello in chat or something sometime?" vibe. It worked out. I went from zero views to a consistent 10-20 full time viewers over the coarse of 2 weeks with active engagements and conversations the entire time. That being said, I'm watching your videos here and writing things down like a recipe. Things I do, don't do, should do better, etc. Of course I want to make it a career; I've worked to the age of 30 as I am now never happy with where I am. I love gaming. I love people. Streaming just goes hand in hand with that. If it turns into something big and I can make a living off of it, so be it, but for now it's something I want to take off but I'm just going to have fun while trying. So this isn't a "Hey! Can you answer a few questions for me?" so much as it's a...Hey, thanks for the helpful advice. It's clear, to the point, honest, and pretty valuable for small streamers like myself to build a goal to work towards.
Honestly what sponsor I believe would be amazing to work woth would be Logitech. Im in love with their workability with mouse's and webcams, and are always a good dollars spent to ease of use ratio. I use mostly logitech peripherals, so being able to be sponsored by them would help me more positively reflect that, and it would help produce higher quality content as i want to expand from Twitch to TH-cam with more up close and personal footage
@@AyasLoft personally I prefer corsair's keyboards because they just _feel_ nicer to me. I love my Razer deathadder and Logitech g502 equally. I prefer Sennheiser over Logitech, Razer, Corsair etc just because their sound sounds nicer
@@Shuroii I've personally enjoyed Logitech as a brand because their customer service relations, in my experience, have been one of the best in the market. I have even used that in my sales position to create a value proposition to the consumer in the past when retailing electronics.
This was one of my favorite videos of yours, Harris! I appreciate how we can hear this advice straight from the brand and partnerships managers themselves in this video. One of the biggest issues I find myself facing is how to make that initial push to start up a conversation. It's one thing to proudly showcase my Partner status, and it's a whole other thing to understand and showcase what is so different and unique about my brand. I'm definitely going to take some time to reflect on my brand and cultivate my 30-second pitch so that I can approach future interactions with more confidence. Thank you so much for making this video, I definitely learned a lot!
H4D4 looking at this persons page the thumbnails pop. They’re is a lot of eye catching details in it that will make someone click the video out of one with basic thumbnails. Red arrows always work lol. This is obv just an opinion from my observation though I didn’t watch any of the videos but I’m sure within the first 10 seconds they catch your attention as well whether it be informative sense or entertainment
9:13 Harris “I hope you took notes, I hope it helped” Me: DAWG, I took HELLA notes and would love to pick at your brain! On the reals tho, Harris Heller, have you ever been interviewed before, and if not would you like to be? Lol #longshot
The one question I have: Say you aren't in a position to go to big conventions or events. And so you try to approach these brands via email or social media. You have your pitch and you got everything they said about knowing what you have to offer. But you don't have the connections to reach out to the right people. What do you do? Just send them a tweet? PM them on Instagram? A lot of companies don't have emails readily accessible to the public. So how do you contact these companies the same way you would in person?
Great video man. My stream has started to become something I'm proud of because of some of the tips you've given out. One question I have is, what is a good balance between a job, family, and twitch streaming if I'm wanting to grow as a streamer? What is a healthy balance?
Stream for 2-4 hours after work and then on the weekends dedicate that time to family. When you start expanding enough and you can start paying for everything you need from twitch, then in my opinion stay at your job for 2 weeks but save most if not all of that job money then quit your job, and start streaming for maybe 4-8 hours a day. But keep those weekends dedicated to your family, or you can stream weekends and dedicate other days to family.
So, how exactly would you ACTUALLY network with brands from home? Like email seems informal.. and supposing the company would be willing to collaborate would it just be a convo through email?? And I’m assuming there is going to be specific contacts for every brand aimed directly at the business moves people request to make with them? And finally what I exactly would you say? Just kick it off with ur 30 second pitch or what? Cus there’s loads of different types of deals and sponsorships. All rather confusing.
Harris great job on this video i've always wondered about these exact questions. To find out that they want to work with smaller streamers like Norzewolf and others is encouraging. I have a twitch channel that is mostly focused on FPS games and talking about the good and bad of games of the genre. Awesome content.
hi i been watching your videos.... i got a massage the other day on my ig from a company that whats to do a sponsorship with me but i have to buy 1 item off there site... do you think thats good or no
Your honesty is refreshing, your knowledge is vast, and your insight is immensely helpful. I'm incredibly happy that you showed up in my recommended videos, because I wouldn't have even known where to start with even hardware. Your name should be more well known, and I hope the TH-cam algorithm gods bless you with another viral video. You really deserve it, man.
I would find it interesting to know what I should expect by gaming sponsors. Gear, money, watermark in my stream? And also: How much should I ask for round about.
I love your channel! I'm a freelancer and just tapping into the streaming scene recently. My freelance business is covering my expense + investment and savings already so streaming my game is mostly for enjoyment. Your channel gives me insight how to take it from fun to full on business model while having fun. Thank you!
I assumed while watching your video that it would have millions of views as it's a question I am sure most channels are looking for. Thank you for sharing with us. (yes I know it's a year old but it's still valuable and current) stay safe and kind regards. John 😊
Harris, I'm a big fan of your work. I'm a streamer from Brazil and I have a similar content as yours. Could I mention your video to show my viewers the informations you`ve got at the event?
Well it depends on the country too. Cause here in Asia, their first question is all about your channel numbers. They don’t care about the type of content you propose.
How do you discover your unique value? What can a streamer do to be unique but provide value at the same time? They might be "easy" questions to ask yourself, but sometimes easy is very hard.
I think the one thing that wasn't covered in this video was, how can a smaller streamer or creator approach these companies. Who do you look out for etc. Apart from that video was excellent!
Excellent point. That was exactly what I was wondering too! It would be awesome if we could have a follow up video to that explaining the how's of this. And also, when he said "it doesn't matter if you are small", how small do we talk about here? 10 viewers? 30? 100? That's important stuff to know I think
Man I really love your channel! The quality of your videos is absolutly insane, simply because of the great picture quality. And fat PLUS: Your content is full of usefull information. I am really happy, I found this channel. Thanks, Harris!
Hey, I've seen your videos pop up on my home feed every now and again, and whilst in a boring meeting i decided to give this one a watch. I've never watched one of your videos, i don't have a twitch and i'm not looking to get sponsored, but wanted to watch YOU and see what you do. I know that its nice to hear feedback from people whether its good or bad, because that's how we grow. There's no bad feedback from me here though. You were very clear, there's no crazy editing to keep peoples attention and you told people what to expect when going in to the video. A format that i'm trying to do also. Even though i'm not looking to get sponsored by anyone yet, i still took notes and found to be asking myself "If i can sell myself to people i don't know 1 on 1 at an event, then maybe i can sell myself and what i do to every single viewer that watches my content". So that's what i took from this video, working out why i'm unique from other people in my niche, why the audience should subscribe to me, and what they're going to get if they do. Needless to say, you've earned a subscriber here.
Yeah I mean come to think of it, that's how I got into a lot of stuff in music. I remember I was at a show and the guy said he played this festival. All I did was ask him how he got hooked up with it. He gave me somebody's email. And then I was on. He said there was a couple openings left. Pretty wild. You just simply can't replace being there in person talking to someone. I've only been doing this for a year now, and I really want something like E3 again to get me excited and motivated again.
I'm a bit curious how I could go about getting sponsors being a political commentator. My specific brand might be a bit controversial for more traditional sponsors, and I'd like to align with organizations I support.
If I were to get sponsored by anybody, probably would only be some kind of coffee company. One that I like. If I don't believe in a product I wouldn't accept a sponsor.
Love your vids, very inspiring haha .. it would be really awesome if you do a video on streaming with 0 viewers and what to do/fill the gaps/narrate your inner monologue etc? Would be really helpful for a new streamer like me 🤩
So if I reached out to Kontrol Freaks because I believe their product helped me become better at a game I exclusively play as a Facebook streamer who helps others get better at it too by coaching etc, I could be in with a chance of sponsorship?
Thank you for sharing this we all appreciate it one of my goals for the long term moving forward is to collaborate with sneak energy I'm slowly updating the channel on the daily and I know what I'm looking to do but the information you provided us should motivate everyone!
I can't stop looking at the coffee stain on your shirt.....(I got one of my own currently :D), besides that....great info that is very very much appreciated. This is coming from someone who just decided to jump into making gaming content (for realsies) a month ago. Thx Pal!
Thank you for the advice. I’ve heeded everything that was said. I don’t stream or post content daily because of work takes most of my time. As I make content or stream I want to make someones day and have a place where people can come to hangout, have fun, and just be themselves. The world today is too judgmental and a lot of stuff is happening and people should have a place where they can escape that. I welcome everyone who comes by to watch me stream or watch content I’ve made. Again, thank you for the advice bro.
I’m a streamer who just started out and am growing quite fast. I’m getting 50-60 viewers on a good day. Do you think it’s possible for me to be sponsored?(Also I’m not 18)
Not sure why I'm only just seeing this but great video as always. I find this sort of thing quite difficult mostly because I'm quite anti-social or should I say more of an introvert. Also not a great talker and find it REALLY difficult just going up to someone and introducing myself. Really hoping I can get over that in the coming months and years. During my time as a Mixer partner I saw a lot of people thinking they would get extra merch and 'free stuff' by wearing a partner hoodie or t-shirt and I've never really thought that company reps saw that as a must to working with them. With my journey on Twitch only just starting there's a long way to go before I'm likely to be in a position to talk to companies but I have a game plan and know what I need to do. Thanks again.
Dude, i just stream, game have fun and whatever happens happens. If i blow up then i blow up if i don't then time to find a part time or full time job and keep streaming when i can. I'm to early in my streaming hobbie to worry about brands deals......i don't even know my brand.....I'm me thats all i can really say....
gotta say i disagree with the twitch partner shirt, im an events manager for a nonprofit (I met you at dreamhack and mentioned it actually :D! ) But Ive gone up to many brands who have very bluntly gave more attention to somebody with a partner shirt on or who mentioned they were a twitch partner. Also, ive had alot of brands ask me what my numbers are on twitch, and cut me off from talking since i have less than X amount of followers. Most of them didn't even wanna hear it. Granted, Ive learned what companies i DONT want to work with in the future.
I stream and make vids all the time and they’re alright but I only access my flow state when I’m alone, ex. Had a shitty stream all day but a few games after I drop a 22 bomb. Any help?
Why sponsors aren't listening to you? Maybe cuz your balding and think you pretending to he successful with your cheap model Tesla. Does your wife know that you flex her families money?
Hey I am having trouble figuring out where I should put my webcam. I place it on top of my monitor and that looks to high for me but then I put it under the monitors and it's to low, I'm looking for something in the middle, but can't anything to help me. Any suggestions?
I'm curious at what point do you start looking at your stream and attempting to make it a business, should you hit a threshold? I'm newer to streaming about 12 days and only have 4-9 concurrent viewers.. so this video might be to early.. any feedback would be great! I did hit affiliate and have 2 subs though so gainz!
is there a convention for youtube creators Specifically? sorry its kind of a broad question.. im new to the youtube streaming thing and creating video content. looking to meet new people and be inspired.
If I could get any brand to sponsor me I would have to say that it would either be Razor or Corsair. I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m glad I found you. You’ve been a big help to me because I’m barely starting out! I’m very much a noob at the game xD I’ve uploaded my first edited video to TH-cam I’m excited to get going!
to me that is surprising. cause with modeling you gotta have a ton of followers before brands would even consider you. which sucks. cause of ig and facebook changes its harder to grow.
Very very interesting. Unfortunately I do not have a strong personality or charisma so I compensate for it with other things lmao. Definitely has improved but it will not get me by in this industry.
can say this works, went to pax aus as a medium mixer streamer, didn't think i would get any sponsorships/partnerships and ended up walking out with corsair and ubisoft (thanks to contacts in the r6 community) the advice handed here is so obvious but it is usually the obvious ideas that no one thinks of. one thing i could add onto is be confident, companies want to see people who are energetic, easy going but also confident. if you can go up to them and state what you are there for without stuttering or mumbling thats a good start!
Thanks to the advice you put on this video i was able to partner with a local venue to host, broadcast, and commentate for events and tournaments they are having. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all your help.
If you could have any company sponsor you, who would it be?

I honestly don't know how you don't have more viewers. Great channel man. Very informative
Man I really love your channel!
The quality of your videos is absolutly insane, simply because of the great picture quality.
And fat PLUS: Your content is full of usefull information.
I am really happy, I found this channel. Thanks, Harris!

Me: *smacks lips* T-T ah yes.
Hey, I've seen your videos pop up on my home feed every now and again, and whilst in a boring meeting i decided to give this one a watch. I've never watched one of your videos, i don't have a twitch and i'm not looking to get sponsored, but wanted to watch YOU and see what you do. I know that its nice to hear feedback from people whether its good or bad, because that's how we grow. There's no bad feedback from me here though. You were very clear, there's no crazy editing to keep peoples attention and you told people what to expect when going in to the video. A format that i'm trying to do also. Even though i'm not looking to get sponsored by anyone yet, i still took notes and found to be asking myself "If i can sell myself to people i don't know 1 on 1 at an event, then maybe i can sell myself and what i do to every single viewer that watches my content". So that's what i took from this video, working out why i'm unique from other people in my niche, why the audience should subscribe to me, and what they're going to get if they do. Needless to say, you've earned a subscriber here.
Yeah I mean come to think of it, that's how I got into a lot of stuff in music. I remember I was at a show and the guy said he played this festival. All I did was ask him how he got hooked up with it. He gave me somebody's email. And then I was on. He said there was a couple openings left. Pretty wild. You just simply can't replace being there in person talking to someone. I've only been doing this for a year now, and I really want something like E3 again to get me excited and motivated again.
I'm a bit curious how I could go about getting sponsors being a political commentator. My specific brand might be a bit controversial for more traditional sponsors, and I'd like to align with organizations I support.
If I were to get sponsored by anybody, probably would only be some kind of coffee company. One that I like. If I don't believe in a product I wouldn't accept a sponsor.
been watching you for awhile..... subbed today.... trying to build my game streaming career on youtube gaming....... thanks for your input.
I'm concentrating on TH-cam rather than streaming atm but these videos are still very helpful.
It's the mindset, regardless of content
I feel utterly validated i my networking strategies! Now...to get on the content creation... So i have something to actually brand and sell
Love your vids, very inspiring haha .. it would be really awesome if you do a video on streaming with 0 viewers and what to do/fill the gaps/narrate your inner monologue etc? Would be really helpful for a new streamer like me 🤩
So if I reached out to Kontrol Freaks because I believe their product helped me become better at a game I exclusively play as a Facebook streamer who helps others get better at it too by coaching etc, I could be in with a chance of sponsorship?
Thank you for sharing this we all appreciate it one of my goals for the long term moving forward is to collaborate with sneak energy I'm slowly updating the channel on the daily and I know what I'm looking to do but the information you provided us should motivate everyone!
Will this work even if you're just playing games?
I can't stop looking at the coffee stain on your shirt.....(I got one of my own currently :D), besides that....great info that is very very much appreciated. This is coming from someone who just decided to jump into making gaming content (for realsies) a month ago. Thx Pal!
Thank you for the advice. I’ve heeded everything that was said. I don’t stream or post content daily because of work takes most of my time. As I make content or stream I want to make someones day and have a place where people can come to hangout, have fun, and just be themselves. The world today is too judgmental and a lot of stuff is happening and people should have a place where they can escape that. I welcome everyone who comes by to watch me stream or watch content I’ve made. Again, thank you for the advice bro.
I’m a streamer who just started out and am growing quite fast. I’m getting 50-60 viewers on a good day. Do you think it’s possible for me to be sponsored?(Also I’m not 18)
Not sure why I'm only just seeing this but great video as always.
I find this sort of thing quite difficult mostly because I'm quite anti-social or should I say more of an introvert. Also not a great talker and find it REALLY difficult just going up to someone and introducing myself.
Really hoping I can get over that in the coming months and years.
During my time as a Mixer partner I saw a lot of people thinking they would get extra merch and 'free stuff' by wearing a partner hoodie or t-shirt and I've never really thought that company reps saw that as a must to working with them.
With my journey on Twitch only just starting there's a long way to go before I'm likely to be in a position to talk to companies but I have a game plan and know what I need to do.
Thanks again.
I own a tesla. Thats where i got hooked. 😂
Another fantastic video, man you deserve far more of a following. Thanks again for more insight and keep it up!
What would you say a “small creator” is like how many viewers/followers and stuff like that?
I'd probably say at least a couple thousand or so subs I don't see them sponsoring people with less than at least a couple hundred subs
I’m Watching This Now Cause I Just Scored My 1st Sponsor!! 🌏
Dude, i just stream, game have fun and whatever happens happens. If i blow up then i blow up if i don't then time to find a part time or full time job and keep streaming when i can. I'm to early in my streaming hobbie to worry about brands deals......i don't even know my brand.....I'm me thats all i can really say....
My man love your vids super helpful providing insight to all this stuff!
gotta say i disagree with the twitch partner shirt, im an events manager for a nonprofit (I met you at dreamhack and mentioned it actually :D! ) But Ive gone up to many brands who have very bluntly gave more attention to somebody with a partner shirt on or who mentioned they were a twitch partner.
Also, ive had alot of brands ask me what my numbers are on twitch, and cut me off from talking since i have less than X amount of followers. Most of them didn't even wanna hear it.
Granted, Ive learned what companies i DONT want to work with in the future.
How can these people contact you for the first time? Email or something?
Watching a video of how to get gaming sponsors when I have about 2-3 viewers regularly. How... magnificent.
What IS a smaller content creator though ? Everyone is smaller than someone at some point
I stream and make vids all the time and they’re alright but I only access my flow state when I’m alone, ex. Had a shitty stream all day but a few games after I drop a 22 bomb. Any help?
The quixotic chest sicily pat because system counterintuitively include mid a abusive north korea. aggressive, judicious plow
7:47 Alpha is now in love. aaaand back to not impressed 8:06
But great overview, Thank you.
Why sponsors aren't listening to you? Maybe cuz your balding and think you pretending to he successful with your cheap model Tesla. Does your wife know that you flex her families money?
Hey I am having trouble figuring out where I should put my webcam. I place it on top of my monitor and that looks to high for me but then I put it under the monitors and it's to low, I'm looking for something in the middle, but can't anything to help me. Any suggestions?
I've been watching your videos for at least a month now and they are amazing. Great information. I love the videos. Keep em coming.
THIS. RIGHT. HERE. Is why I respect you so fucking much. This right here is next level shit. This type of business acumen is so essential to success!
Thanks brudda, I let myself focus on other stuff than my content... Do you have edit tips?
I'm curious at what point do you start looking at your stream and attempting to make it a business, should you hit a threshold? I'm newer to streaming about 12 days and only have 4-9 concurrent viewers.. so this video might be to early.. any feedback would be great! I did hit affiliate and have 2 subs though so gainz!
is there a convention for youtube creators Specifically? sorry its kind of a broad question.. im new to the youtube streaming thing and creating video content. looking to meet new people and be inspired.
How do you get your face and shirt so lit up but your background is dark?
If I could get any brand to sponsor me I would have to say that it would either be Razor or Corsair. I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m glad I found you. You’ve been a big help to me because I’m barely starting out! I’m very much a noob at the game xD I’ve uploaded my first edited video to TH-cam I’m excited to get going!
to me that is surprising. cause with modeling you gotta have a ton of followers before brands would even consider you. which sucks. cause of ig and facebook changes its harder to grow.
Very very interesting. Unfortunately I do not have a strong personality or charisma so I compensate for it with other things lmao. Definitely has improved but it will not get me by in this industry.
you are really dropping knowledge on me. I appreciate it and here is sub and like :) i can't stop watching this is my 6 vid today
can say this works, went to pax aus as a medium mixer streamer, didn't think i would get any sponsorships/partnerships and ended up walking out with corsair and ubisoft (thanks to contacts in the r6 community) the advice handed here is so obvious but it is usually the obvious ideas that no one thinks of. one thing i could add onto is be confident, companies want to see people who are energetic, easy going but also confident. if you can go up to them and state what you are there for without stuttering or mumbling thats a good start!
Thanks to the advice you put on this video i was able to partner with a local venue to host, broadcast, and commentate for events and tournaments they are having. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all your help.
