[@CreatorWizard]

Thanks again for inviting me on Nick!! I could talk about sponsorship strategy for hours lol. Appreciate you!!

[@NickNimmin]

Thanks so much for sharing these tips! So much value!

[@EnglishBasedSchool-fd9zs]

@@NickNimmin Thankyou so much for sharing these valuable tips to grow faster...More power to you @Nick💪

[@TheIllPrepared]

I could listen for hours about all the experience you gathered with sponsors. I loved this format, however i think Nick could have made it more of a "podcast" style to make it more casual. The quick cuts to keep the tempo is understandable tho. Great collab! Really enjoy the knowledge sharing. Thank you Justin & Nick!!

[@AnnieDreadful]

Your insights are absolutely valuable and I appreciate you coming on to help us little guys have a better chance at success! Thank you :D

[@SAILORMOON4LIFE]

I DO NOT WANT NO TEAM DEALS OR BUISNESS DEALS

[@JonathanWinbush]

I've been doing a lot of brand deals this year and a lot of this is spot on. You can't sit idle on your hands and think good sponsors are going to reach out you have to go out and chase. Another good place to meet brands is going to conventions I've met ALOT of high end sponsors just going to their booths at these trade shows and chatting it up.

[@NickNimmin]

Nice!!

[@ashleeonair]

Great point! Thanks for the advice

[@JonathanWinbush]

@@ashleeonair absolutely 🤙🏿🤙🏿

[@VinceAndWeed]

My Chanel with 50k subs makes 5 figure incoming exactly with this advice 💯. Justin is telling you the blueprint 👊🏽

[@CreatorWizard]

That's what I'm talking about Vince!! Get it!

[@NickNimmin]

Nice!

[@EliteProfitz]

zabardast ❤🎉💯

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Educating brands is one of the things that made it so I could get a 5 figure deal. On the brands side, they really underpriced me. Jumping on a quick Zoom and explaining what they asked for and how it is priced they immediately admitted they weren’t sure what would be fair for the platform. I saved a deal and helped a brand learn about the industry here on KZbin. Great advice

[@NickNimmin]

Nice! It seems the best path is usually communication. If it comes to sales or collaboration in general taking the effort to understand the other person and their needs is always a good idea.

[@CreatorWizard]

Love it Mike!

[@LeadershipwithMike]

I’m sorry. 10 digit lol. 5 figures lol 😂

[@4stdada778]

How did you even meet/ get in contact with them ?

[@Videoman2000]

When I started my new travel channel, I got my first partner with 20 subs and less than 100 views total. Ok, I knew the guy from before, but still he was willing to support the channel.

[@abdulbariabdulbari1122]

You have created amazing video content. I just watched the video and your video quality is admirable. I am very impressed with your content, I analyzed your channel and noticed that you are struggling for video views and video ranking. May I share you some tips how you can reach your goal?

[@YourGreatnessAwaits]

I understand that not seeing results in the beginning can be discouraging, but keep going. You can’t cheat the grind. Be patient and never give up

[@cal.mulligan]

Nick is easily the most genuine KZbinr. Such a big help to small channels like mine.

[@CreatorWizard]

Agreed!!

[@NickNimmin]

Thanks for the kind words! 🙏

[@AnnieDreadful]

I'm a brand new creator (just started this week) and I just discovered your channel. This is amazing information and I absolutely appreciate it! I feel like I struck gold when I found your videos. Thank you SO much for all the hard work you do to help small creators!

[@NickNimmin]

Welcome aboard!

[@AnnieDreadful]

@@NickNimmin Thank you! Fairly terrified and even though I studied up before I launched and THOUGHT I knew what I was doing...turns out everything was wrong and I've been adjusting things since lol. Channels like yours are super helpful and make me feel way more confident! Thanks again :D

[@ArmchairDeity]

@@AnnieDreadfulhow’s it going after the first year? You should come back and let us know how his advice panned out for you!!

[@AnnieDreadful]

@@ArmchairDeity I got dumped by the algorithm so I stopped making content. Even people who subbed/clicked the bell weren't getting notified lol. I'm guessing because I had to use AI voicing. I'll be eventually getting back to it and re-recording everything and voicing it myself and see if I can relaunch. But for now it's on the back burner for me.

[@ThinkAboutItNow]

WOW.. Justin is the bomb when it comes to best advice for creators and sponsors. What a ton of useful information in his video.

[@NickNimmin]

Yeah, he knows his stuff.

[@CreatorWizard]

Appreciate that!!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

There is some golden information in this video, I was lucky early on in my journey I was approached by a big brand in my niche that I have been with now for a few years and they have been amazing to work with. Recently I thought up a new idea for a second channel that I want to start and approached another brand whom I have done work in the past and pitched the idea and they are going to support it, which will help me get it off the ground. And sold off the back of everything that is being talked about here. I plugged right into what they were about and made it all about them

[@NickNimmin]

Excellent! And nice getting a sponsor from jump, that’s fantastic!

[@CreatorWizard]

That's awesome!! Congrats!

[@ingridelknermusic]

Wow, what an incredible actionable set of advice! I'm not used to that! So many videos peddle the same info, so getting the true juice is phenomenal.

[@NickNimmin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CreatorWizard]

Stoked to hear I brought the juice!! hah

[@BridalSewing]

I feel like I need to listen to this 5 times. This is amazing and I really appreciate you guys putting this together. I'll see you soon at VidSummit!

[@NickNimmin]

See you later this week!

[@NicholetteBrian]

Love this! Started watching you when our page had under 100 subscribers and we are up to 23,000 and we would like to start learning more about this!

[@NickNimmin]

Oh nice! Congratulations on the success you’ve had. It’s definitely time to start looking into this side of things.

[@ReadySteadyExcel]

You read my mind! 😊...this is what i need. I've never been sponsored for a KZbin video.

[@NickNimmin]

With your type of content you can also create useful things you can sell.

[@ReadySteadyExcel]

​@NickNimmin Thanks Nick. The only things I can think of selling are eBooks and courses. I'm currently working on an online course. Just finished watching this video. Great tips from Justin - my big takeaways are the packaging deals, and not just sending a load of stats when pitching for a deal. Do you have any tips on collaborating with other content creators?

[@Violinna]

This is the best actionable guide for brand deals I've ever seen on YT. Thank you!!!

[@NickNimmin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RobertPlank]

The advice on pricing strategies and considerations for deliverables, usage rights, and exclusivity was enlightening. It was interesting to learn about tying package offerings to brands' campaign goals for upselling opportunities. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on aligning proposals with the brand's objectives for successful collaborations.

[@incomparablegamer5011]

Its such a blessing to already be a sponsored channel.. God is good! God bless! 🙏

[@SimplyNaturalCai]

Thank you, Nick and Justin! Tips are appreciated cause I’m trying to figure out the sponsorship end 💙

[@NickNimmin]

Great timing!

[@CreatorWizard]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@NickNimmin]

[@CreatorWizard]

Love to hear that!

[@TUCOtheratt]

Thanks for another great video Nick. Have you done a video on the "Invalid Traffic" issue that is killing small and medium (up to 500K sub) channels? It appears like KZbin is blaming everyone except big channels for the fact that their advertisers discovered that KZbin is ripping them off.

[@NickNimmin]

Not yet. We're all looking into it to get as much information as possible.

[@MotivationMindset100]

Just got my first $1000 sponsor for 1 video from a betting company, thanks for all the info, going to put some packages together, great video.

I definitely have to reach out but I’m always on the fence because I feel like there’s something specific I have to do. Basically I overthink it by thinking about a specific message or way of reaching out but I feel that maybe I’m just holding myself back. I’m gonna make it an end of year goal to reach out to one brand and no matter how it goes just learn from the experience.

[@AIBestie]

So true take a leap forwaed YOUR COURAGE which GOT YOU HERE. KEEP GOING WITH HEART. No risk no gain

I really admire all you creators out there trying to make it everyday it is a true battle and work and learning is the only two things that gets you to where you want to be.
