I excluded the outlier viral videos and ended up with $23k for a dedicated video/review. Did I miss something? Because I have never landed a brand deal even close to half of that.

[@jonitadonque9255]

Thank you this is very helpful.

[@Hessyblake]

I love Natalie, watched her vlogs since her New York days

[@fiyinolubiyi]

I am back to this video to say thank you Millie. It came out right when my first brand deal came about and because of it, I could actually understand what I was reading in my contract. I also found the confidence to set my rate-and it was met and surpassed. I wish I could take the BSP course coming up in August; it's a bit expensive right now but you'll see me next January. Thank you Millie, for all you do. I'm binging your channel and I'm so grateful🤎

[@GoodnessinMotion]

This woman is a superstar! She is always dropping great content!

[@MillieAdrian]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@LouisDillard02]

Deciphering your rates for brand collaborations involves more than just plugging numbers into a formula. It's about understanding your audience engagement, recent performance, and most importantly, the value you bring to the table as a content creator.

[@WhitepepperFarm]

I just have to say that I am a creator that is preparing to jump to full time and your channel has been more helpful than any other to get prepped for the jump. Thank you for your content, keep it up!

[@MillieAdrian]

Ahhh that makes me so happy to hear!! 🎉 Of course😊 I’m happy to be any resource for you!

[@WhitepepperFarm]

@@MillieAdrian It's really hard to navigate, especially for someone with a wife and 5 kids one of which with special needs. Our bills are high so making this jump is terrifying. You explain things in a much easier to understand way than anyone else does!

[@sierralovesdogs]

Great content! Thank you so much! Can you elaborate a bit more on a mention vs an integration? Is it really just amount of time in a vid?

[@CorryWith2rs]

Appreciate you! I was so confused with the email so i started looking up videos😭

[@holisticheritagehomestead]

Another great video! I like that you have a formulaic approach, but you also consider customization.

[@MillieAdrian]

Yes!!! I’m someone that needs some sort of practical outline so formulas help my brain a ton 😊

[@charminglykoko]

Millie bringing the value yet again 👏👏👏 I love that you always lay out a solid foundation so your viewers are all on the same page. Telling us terms we should know and giving a definition/explanation that makes sense!

[@MillieAdrian]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it! ☺️

[@mataticrafts]

Extremely helpful thank you!

[@inthegreatwide]

Learned SO MUCH from this video. THANK YOU! 🙌🏻 Maybe you've already answered this question in another video in this series (this is the first one I'm watching), but I'd love to know how you write up your contracts when a brand doesn't present you with one, and how often brands do or don't present you with one. You mention using AI in Rella to summarize the contracts, so is that what you're actually using to write them?

[@MillieAdrian]

@@inthegreatwide I recommend getting contract templates from an Influencer Lawyer😁 I have one recommended on my website here at the bottom! itsmodernmillie.com/tools

[@inthegreatwide]

@@MillieAdrian Excellent. Thank you!

[@unayoga.studio]

Thank you for another great video! Does this formula work for smaller channels? My engagement rate is 1.19, and gives me a pretty number as a result 😁but I'm not sure that a small channel like my can charge this much! 😁

[@LinkedInTea]

millie, do a video on YT masterclass. How to write YT title, what to add to a thumbnail etc.

[@raisingwildflowers]

Using this formula, my base rate is $37,000. Avg views per video is 35,000 x 1.07 engagement rate. Please tell me this is true and I can find someone to pay me this much 🤞I would literally die 😅

[@peytonxkye]

she's backkkk 🥰🥰🥰

[@MillieAdrian]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@alysmalls]

I love this video, but according to the math, I should be charging $197,000 for an integration LOL...I mean, that would be incredible, but ain't no way that's happening...unless I'm severely undervaluing myself 😅

[@LaurenAngela_aufDeutsch]

Hey Millie! I love your content. In the hook of the video you said you would share how much you charge for brand deals because transparency. I listened to the whole video but I never heard you mention it. Did I miss it?

[@MillieAdrian]

Yes! It’s at the end 😊

[@Bellavintagenotebook2]

I discovered your content on KZbin and I think it's brilliant. I've been watching your videos for the past few weeks during my free afternoons. I plan to implement the strategies you share in each video. Recently, I cleared out my Pinterest Monthly Viewers to zero, closed my Instagram account due to algorithm frustrations, and decided to keep my Facebook private. I will focus on my , KZbin channel, create shorts, and enhance my presence on TikTok and Pinterest. I hope you don't mind me sharing your videos with those who have asked me numerous times about selling my journals. With 36 years of business experience, mainly in brick and mortar stores, I am eager to follow your latest videos and see the results. Thank you, Necee.

[@unprofessionalvids]

In singapore brands are not willing to pay for long form but willing to pay up to $8k for a well produced dedicated short under 60 seconds (not ugc)

[@marquettastyle]

I think this is very helpful but what about us creators who have more experience than we need doing free videos for brands but just don’t have a huge follower count engagement rate. When I do this formula, it adds up to about four dollars where you have your 120 in your Example. What do we do then? I’m tired of working for free.

[@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio]

For the 16 videos, is this over a 30-28 day time period? The number I came up with is way too much if I’m using the total views for 16-videos (I push one a week) over the last three months-that time period seems too long to take the number of views into account for this formula. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to get $47K from a brand but there must a step missing.

[@ConnectWithUganda]

KZbin videos have a very long shelf, 30 days isn't enough, I think 2-3 months is okay. People be asking me about things I posted 3 years ago.

[@upclosegolf]

Great video! What if my engagement rate is 4? 🤔

[@carrie.kyarri]

My engagement rate is 94% with an average of 15,500 views per video. I feel like charging anywhere close to calculations would be insane. 🥴 No viral videos included in the calculation either.

[@yourBELLATRIX]

I just signed up a contract and was not sure how much I would charge for a 3 20s shorts and ended up charging $45 lmao 😂

[@Celali1814]

Hi Millie I love watching you content, I was about to buy the course. But one things stops me . I want to understand if that course can be for me . I am not sure if I want to be on the camera. Since I have hard time with language ( I came to USA) 10 years ago, and I have accents which makes me afraid talking . Even making voice over of my videos . But I feel that still I can make something useful for people. Is this course good for people who are not sure to show face and speak on the camera? Thank you so much ❤

[@MillieAdrian]

@@Celali1814 hi Laura! Great question ☺️ to be 100% honest with you, my courses are specifically for people who want to be the face of their personal brand and want to be on camera. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone creating faceless content since none of the lessons talk about that🫶🏼

[@Celali1814]

@@MillieAdrian oh Thank you Millie so much for being Honest. That’s actually first time seeing when someone doesn’t want just selling it . That says a lot about you . 🫶🏻😍Thank you , anyway one day I will buy it 😃you are awesome keep going . I love watching your content. And I truly wait for every video 🤞🏼good luck to you 💪🏽

[@Ameliacozycorner]

Millie do you add the views of youtube shorts into consideration. My main views do come from this

[@Lobsterandtequila]

What are the top 3 platforms used for payment?

[@beautyandaging]

Mine is $55 and ain’t no way I’m scripting, filming, editing and all that for $55. Definitely not worth my time. I’ll stick with my standard $500-$750 for a dedicated video

[@TheLovelyZoeee]

Mines is only $21 😣

[@MillieAdrian]

Same wavelength!! ☺️☺️

[@hayley_bailiff]

Love your content! I tried to follow along and my average views for the last 16 videos is roughly 14k. I have 1.9k subscribers, so my engagement rate is ~7.3. 14k x 7.3 means I should be charging over 100k. I feel like I'm doing something wrong!

[@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio]

Same! I came up with $47K! I must have done something wrong. {Avg views 21,313 for 16 videos with 9,618 subs} engagement is 2.2 so getting 47K. Help!

[@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio]

I saw another similar formula and it’s based on your videos performance over the last 30 days. I just did the math again and it makes more sense. Take the 16 videos performance from the last 30 days (I got this from the studio app) then divide that by 16 videos (I did 15 because the studio apps provides the views for 15 videos in 28 days). This number makes more sense now!

[@MarketingHarry]

Absolutely loving your content, Milie! Your videos are always packed with valuable information, clearly explained, and free from any fluff. Thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait for the next series! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@MillieAdrian]

This is so crazy, here in germany austria switzerland, it is common for youtubers to get payed over 1000 Euro at least.

[@MillieAdrian]

How interesting!! This is something I’ll definitely keep in mind! ☺️

[@orrganizedbooks9998]

Woah... I just did this and it said 5K.. maybe I am doing something wrong lol

[@MillieAdrian]

@@orrganizedbooks9998 The formula might not work for everyone! I’ve noticed it doesn’t work well if you include a viral video in your calculations. So if one of the last 16 videos you posted went viral and has waaay more views than your average video, it skews the number a lot! 🫢

[@orrganizedbooks9998]

@@MillieAdrian okay, thank you :)

[@thehometownhomestead]

Can you tell us what an average engagement rate is? Mine is right about 40%, and I’m not sure if that’s good or not.

[@MillieAdrian]

Hi! It depends on the niche, channel size, industry, etc! For KZbin between 1%-5% engagement is average! So you’d be well above that ☺️

[@charminglykoko]

Love that you mentioned a rush turnaround fee! Didn't take the collab request but a 15 day turn around time was requested and I was thinking wow, that's a lot to ask of a DIY channel. Anyone who does DIY projects know that things don't always go as planned and a time crunch like that can be a lot of pressure. Good to know that can be charged!

[@MillieAdrian]

Wow! That sounds intense! Your time is definitely valuable and if you’re needing to devote a large majority to it quickly you should totally be compensated! ☺️
