How Sponsorships Work On YouTube // What you need to know about paid sponsorships (beginner's guide)

[@CathrinManning]

I'm planning my content calendar for April so what do you guys want to see?!

[@aadilsiddique456]

@We Just Random Ent. pls no self promoting

[@bonnietuggle8267]

I would love to see you do some premiers on youtube and maybe see how that affects your analytics. There are a few other creators that I like tuning in for the premiers and enjoy the experiences with a chat room.

[@SECYBERSAFE]

How to effectively manage two channels with different niches

[@aadilsiddique456]

YES CATHRIN PLS DO PREMIERES THEYRE SO FUN AND WILL HELP UR CHANNEL

[@davidhartley94]

Could you talk about videos that seem to take off after a long time? I've had videos with good CTR and AVD that do nothing for a couple months then finally get picked up. Why is that? Thanks!

[@ElsaM23]

the views are so underrated, if y'all don't give my girl millions of views for these tips that others market, charge and waste time with no info vs her actually spilling the tea im gonna go cray cray !!!

[@GoodTimeHollerHomestead]

Agreed!! She shares so much for free that so many others want everyone to pay for!!

[@ElsaM23]

@@GoodTimeHollerHomestead right, and most of the paid ones are still just marketing sales pitches lol

[@yaseensinsights]

Thank you for discussing topics most KZbinrs shy away from 🙂

[@CathrinManning]

oh you're so welcome! this information needs to be out there so I'm happy to share!!

[@GoodTimeHollerHomestead]

Yesss!!! It is so helpful!

[@siobhandeguerin9221]

Amen!

[@NicolePandora]

Perfect timing. I have brands reaching out and I’m like 😳

[@CathrinManning]

hahahah oh my gosh that stage is sooooo overwhelming!

[@stevenlerner5515]

2 years later. but this video was EXACTLY what i was looking for. the actual details with the brands. thank youuu

[@ShazaadShariff]

Coincidentally, I have popcorn in front of me. I see the notification, I click. Now I have popcorn and a CM video. 😂👏

[@CathrinManning]

hahahah yessssss! love that!

[@SECYBERSAFE]

Will you at least invite us😊

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

I loved watching this from your POV - I work in brand marketing now, and previously as an Influencer Marketing Director for an ad agency for many years - I always love hearing perspectives on this from the influencers POV!

[@jennylapisa9151]

where do you work can we connect

[@CathrinManning]

oh that's so cool that you worked on the other side of things! I would love to hear your thoughts from your perspective!

[@ConsistentAsh]

I'm classified as an ambassador for a company on my IG. I'm not paid by them but I do receive free products from them every 2-3 months after I make a post about certain products. The best part about it is I use to buy their products all the time and now I don't have to because what they send me is something I planned on buying. So it's really fun. I hope anyone who wants to be sponsored by a company gets to hit that goal!

[@FNFilmsPhotography]

Stay consistent & behind your content! This year *some* of you will get their *first sponsorship* !! You can do it :)

[@silviaodlerart]

I want to get my first 100 subs first haha..step by step

[@JustNikoYT]

Got one and I have 240 subs

[@claudiacastly]

Amen ! I start being consistent since the beginning of the year can’t wait to get my first sponsorship

[@RealLifeHeroes7]

more than 2 years old already but this video was pretty helpful. thank you for all the info here!

[@neilxdavis5359]

I got sponsored at a few hundred subs.Networking like crazy

[@monceperez4949]

Wow, that is so amazing!!! Keep going

[@karolinasur2417]

Do a video on that! Lol I’d watch it

[@GoodTimeHollerHomestead]

We have a very small channel and are discussing a sponsorship!

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

How???

[@DustyBoles]

How did you put it in your video without being monetized?

[@riverst79]

Thank you for your transparency. I’m so sick of “some” that act like they are not sponsored. Just keep it real with your audience. Once again, thank you for your honesty. 😎

[@blackqweenmars]

I just got my first sponsorship request two weeks ago and I took it but now I gotta figure out how to make a sponsored video for it. I’m not really that used to being a youtuber who’s not just someone in their basement making videos for fun anymore, now it’s getting serious. I had to check over and over again to make sure it was actually a real company and I wasn’t about to get scammed. I did not expect sponsors to be reaching out to me as someone who only has a few thousand subs I was thinking of reaching out to some myself, but I chickened out lol.

[@SonyasPrep]

What is the best form of payment? I had a company request to do a bank transfer or paypal- but that makes me very nervous. What is the safest and best payment method?

[@TicoisTocory]

This video was right on time! I just inked a sponsorship deal this morning, and I had a few questions about how I go about certain things. Cathrin, you've answered all of my questions. Thank You So Much for this information!

[@e_velog]

i'm SO FAR from being at the point where i can monetize my channel/do sponsorships, but i'm LOVING the content. i feel like as someone who's not there yet, these videos help me build a wealth of knowledge that'll be more than useful for the day I'll have my first sponsorship deal. Thank you so much for going into all these details about KZbin. This is honestly the most helpful channel on the platform ☺️

[@CathrinManning]

oh yessssss I love that! you may not need this information now but one day you will! And you'll be so freakin prepared and ready to take over the world!

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

As a new KZbinr who is not monetized, this video (so far, still watching) has been an eye opener. Thank you for the content. Definitely worth my time.

[@timvantori]

Love how you explain everything so clearly about being a youtuber and being honest about it!

[@joelstainz5785]

Cathrine Manning = what you need to know about of sponsorship, Me= I first needed a good community. Thanks for the video, Even if I don't need it now.

[@CathrinManning]

😂😂😂 trueeeee there are so many stepping stones to get to the point of taking on sponsorships

[@mwsdesigns]

I love when you explain analytics and I learn a little bit each time. I'm not anywhere near working on sponsorships, but it's good to know for future. Thanks Cathrin!

[@CathrinManning]

oh thank you so much for sharing that! I absolutely love analytic videos but I fear that they get boring overtime so it's great to hear that you like them!

[@PCTechHustle]

I would love to see in a future video how you go about obtaining sponsorships / the process of initially securing them. I know it's likely a process that has now become easier for you in current times but for us small guys looking to expand our earning power / how to price ourselves / strategies for reaching out, etc, etc, would be greatly appreciated!

[@BrianneIrene]

first influencer to go this indepth and indetail on the whole process. 🦋Thank you. For being a good listener and teaching the untaught. appreciate you!

[@GoodTimeHollerHomestead]

Yes!! So much finally told to us who want to know!!

Anyone know the difference between a brand collab and a sponsorship for youtube? Is it just the amount of compensation? Is a brand collab considered an ad? The managerial side of youtube is a whole ballpark I am challenged by, so this video was SO helpful! 💓 thanks in advance everyone!

[@IBellaYT]

What if you don’t sign contracts and say yes and then change your mind is it bad? Also Ive gotten many sponsorship offers but I get shy and overwhelmed since theres legal aspects involved! Also can you teach us how to find a manager cause some of my friends said I should get one!

[@CathrinManning]

Did you watch the last video?! because that's so helpful on that topic! But nothing is official until the contract is signed and even in the contract you should have a way to get out of it if you don't see eye to eye or something else
