Paid sponsorships in the language learning community

In this video, I discuss the topic of paid sponsorships. I share insights on how I choose sponsors, which ones I avoid, and which ones I prefer. I believe that transparency and honesty are crucial when it comes to sponsored content, and I'll explain how I strive to maintain integrity and authenticity in my sponsorships.
Throughout the video, I provide examples of sponsorships I've done in the past, and how I approached each opportunity. I also discuss some common pitfalls to watch out for when it comes to sponsorships, such as brands that may not be a good fit or those that encourage you to lie.
As a content creator, I understand the importance of being authentic and transparent with my audience. That's why I always disclose when a post or video is sponsored, and I'm committed to maintaining honesty and authenticity in my content. By sharing my personal approach to sponsorships, I hope to show explain to everybody my mindset.

[@KevinAbroad]

Tu es mon number one!

[@Jackyye]

Fellow language channel here - recently got reached out to for my first language sponsor and found this video. So so helpful. This was exactly what I was searching for. Thank you for sharing and the transparency with this!

[@KevinAbroad]

Thank you for taking the time to comment! If you have any questions, you can reach me on social media :). I also just discovered your channel and subscribed 😁

[@Jackyye]

@@KevinAbroad thank you man! I really appreciate that. All love 🫶

[@Howtogetfluent]

Interesting to see these insights, Kevin, merci! I've never done a paid promotion but YT requires you to flag this when you upload now, doesn't it? When you price paid adds in your videos (as opposed to the automatic AdSense ones from YT), I guess another factor is that the vid will be up for years, so the ad could keep delivering for the company, esp if a vid goes viral and, later on, when your channel is much bigger. Maybe one could offer a price for, say, keeping the vid in for a fixed period such as one to three years (and then renegotiate at that point if the vid is still doing well).

[@logikalx]

Great info!

[@0831Onkei69]

Nice and thorough video! I like how you put it in an easy way. It is interesting to get an understanding in what to put in the balance when it comes to sharing reviews or doing promoted contents. 🧐

[@RhapsodyinLingo]

Been waiting ages for this 🤩 I remember your tweet that teased this video made me stop during my holiday to re-read the old thread😂

[@KevinAbroad]

I ALWAYS deliver :D

[@aafrophonee]

I don't mind seeing a big black... mic in front of your face😏(I'm joking) In all seriousness, I've only been subscribed for a few months, but I really enjoy your videos. I appreciate your honesty and transparency

[@KevinAbroad]

😂😂😂. Thanks! I'm really trying to be as transparent as possible. Honesty is something I've been trying to cultivate in my life in the last few years and I hope to apply it to my channel too.

[@aafrophonee]

@@KevinAbroad That's great! Your audience appreciates it 😊

[@gustavrus]

hello Kevin, I've been watching your videos for a while, and I just want to say that you are captivating and an amazing person! and btw I thought you were born in Brazil when you said that you spoke Portuguese (I was born in Brazil but now I live in Portugal) nevertheless, Keep up with that excellent channel and GL!

[@KevinAbroad]

That's a super nice thing to say, thanks! I was born in France but my family is from Portugal :).

[@mattatta]

Eugh, didn't know HelloTalk was so grimey. Their UI is crap anyway lol

[@KevinAbroad]

I hope they don't do that anymore
