How to Get Sponsored for ANYTHING

[@adamweb]

Bro is such a hustler he incorporates a sponsored segment in a video about sponsors 😂

[@tscho1715]

Awesome😂

[@facelessbot963]

For real. Bro is next level 😂

[@sp3edstr]

😂😂😂

[@tarellcunningham]

Get. The. Bag.

[@itoibo4208]

plus pitched his services to potential sponsors

[@numbskull_co]

As an outdoor apparel company, I cant tell you how many DMs I get that just say "sponsor me". And then they have 100 followers and no videos on their profile. And then there's the people who give a great pitch and then ghost you as soon as they get the free gear.

[@Kaycegamez]

Should add some sorta binding contract with people you give free stuff to, so they can’t just take free shit and dip, if they ghost you you send them an invoice or something

[@godofwar1392]

I am a flagger if you can get me some winter gear I can showcase it

[@Kaycegamez]

@@godofwar1392 how you gonna do the exact same thing bro told you not to do first thing. Horrible outreach, you’re a flagger? Cool so was I, flagging means shit to anyone at a brand lol

[@itoibo4208]

@@Kaycegamez if they ghost you, they probably will not pay the invoice, either, and suing them over a small amount of money is probably not worth it.

[@kandjlumber]

These lazy "Creators" (if you can even call them that) are the ones giving us real creators a bad name. Making it more difficult for us to navigate the Sponsor/Creator relationship world. Don't they know that these sponsors will remember them? at least be up front and say: "if I get a product, and don't like it, I won't post anything", or perhaps there's a better way of going about that.

[@a.k2156]

This is pretty amazing info on topic not many are willing to talk about. Thank you for sharing!

[@MrGeoBmx]

yeah man, this is really good insight, thank you!

[@steveperry2931]

I'm not an influencer, not do I have any desire to seek sponsorships, but I always appreciate the quality of your content and willingness to give others a peek behind the curtain. Well done, Ryan!

[@parthl]

not trying to sell us anything, just providing the fundamental ideas that you can use to leverage your skills. love to see it.

[@beardedglasseshat3177]

Quite literally the opposite. Its such a good commercial, you came out thinking it wasnt. Valuable information is in this video and i will not argue that, but it doesnt stop the fact he successfully marketed like 6 products he gets paid to talk about

[@bkxc]

Hey, I should try doing this! Great video, Ryan!

[@JaredHoff]

Definitely Brian! You go on so many epic trips. That all should be sponsored in my humble opinion.

[@aknmtbr]

@@JaredHoff his trips typically are sponsored! I think Brian was being sarcastic.

[@Coolcmsc]

The key points are your hard work, your organisational skills, your imagination and creativity, your leadership skills and your ownership of your vision for what you do.

[@RoblovesMTBs]

So insightful. You inspired me years ago with properly setting up a camera for capturing. As someone in the Information Security who has burnt out, but you showed me that my pre-sales engineering skills can translate in something that I truly love! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@sp3edstr]

Thank you for posting this. It’s so rare for people to post back end processes like this and you would think if they were confident enough, sharing shouldn’t matter, not like someone will steal their spotlight. Fitness influencers are the literal worst at this. Thank you for this.

[@TheLoamWolf]

What a great concept for a vid and well done man! Nice job and impressive hustle combined with slick integration. Keep it up and hope to see you on the trails again soon. - The other loam youtube guy

[@ShredHead.official]

Best “how to get sponsored” video EVER made. Fire bro. Appreciate you 🔥

[@3BrothersExtreme]

Such a helpful video! We appreciate the breakdown! We have made many mistakes on this journey, but it’s good to hear firsthand from people like you that know the industry well! We appreciate it

[@SamsBikes]

Hey Ryan, big fan of your channel. I'm 5 years into my Journey as a KZbinr formally professional photographer like yourself and I will always wondered how you always get such great sponsors thanks for the information and keep up the great work

[@TheLoamRanger]

Glad it was helpful! Being someone who can create pro-level visuals is half the battle sometimes, so I'm sure you'll do quite well. Cheers!

[@SamsBikes]

@@TheLoamRanger thanks mate and if your ever in Spain come ride in Madrid

[@MitchB.]

So helpful!!! 🙌🏼 You've got my mind rolling and stoked for the future possibilities. If you put out a course for this (also for other things like photography and videography - love your vids on this already) I'd totally pay for it (them?). Couple quick questions: how do you keep yourself organized? Are you a notebook person? Apple Notes? Notion? Other? Also, how would someone go about the funding side of things? How do you know how much to request? is there a standard for each company? I think it's important to not overvalue yourself, but also, don't sell yourself short and undervalue yourself too.

[@rivirsawyer]

Incredibly valuable video.- will be revisiting often. Thanks for making the time to sit down and make it !

[@PhilipBlank]

THIS! Is the content I was looking for, subbed just for this video my man!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@TheMediaMachine]

Bro, thsi is awesome content. I wish I had your video a year ago. The information helps a lot. This helps with clearing up some questions in my mind. I haven't started yet but now that I have finished much of my other goals, work is getting relaxed, this video has come at the right time. Cheers man for thoughtful valuable video!

[@facelessbot963]

I have no desire to ever get into this but it was really interesting hearing your story. Very professional content as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@CharlieH_design]

Yes, I agree. I would love to see a series on the business side sponsors. I am trying to do this for a team to raise money.

[@splitsman]

Thanks for this video Ryan! I appreciate you deep diving into the topic of sponsorships. Very needed‼️

[@liamcolton4625]

Excellent video! this is the type of content that inspires me. I have the big ideas but don't know the process or foundation that is needed to make them a reality. turns out its ask nicely and work hard to deliver what you asked.

[@sanderzwiers]

It's insane to see this channel getting so big. I was watching loam ranger when it had 5000 subs. Good job man. Love the channel

[@jpguyatt]

Ya, back when every upload wasn't a commercial disguised as a MTB video....

[@HomeInBeing]

Because he's sponsored so it's an actual job actually

[@venacava_mtb]

Excellent video! I’ve gotten so much value from watching this channel and it’s helped me become a better content creator. From the quality of the content itself to the way the content is presented. I’m at that level where I’m starting to work with brands I use and love and found this information super helpful. Thank you!

[@lrider1428]

I wanna start making content. How many subs do you think would be an optimal amount to start making sponsorships or colabs.

[@venacava_mtb]

@@lrider1428 Not sure if this question was for me or Ryan but my two cents is that there is no magic number. I think it varies from brand to brand. Some want more and some will work with less. I think a good rule of thumb is just reach out and make a proposal like ryan was talking about in this video. The worst that can happen is they say no but they may also give some clues as to what they are looking for. Then you have something to shoot for with that company.

[@CrankedAdventures]

Absolutely brilliant video with soo much information. I'm at the start of my own biking KZbin journey and I've taken some notes for the future, providing things work out for me. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@JFabric500]

Just discovered your channel because of this video, randomly suggested, holy shit your audio is so clear it’s wild.

[@dexterousx92]

*This is pure gold! 🔥 Thank you for breaking it down.time to level up and get those sponsors! 💼This video provided so much value to me . Thanks*

[@B1KER]

Lot's of great info here. Even as someone who's been making these same kind of deals over the last few years there was some useful stuff that jumped out to me.

[@ryanamendala6524]

Point is...this video is not about getting sponsorships, it's about getting jobs where the pay reflects a sponsorship. You are providing a service and value (as you state) and a product. Not just some "comprehensive review of insta......" like on other channels. KZbin is your marketing for a real job :) Great work

[@yzzygomez]

Thanks mate. Tons of value here 🔥

[@justin51986]

Thanks for all the great information! My 11yo daughter is wanting to get into video editing and start a KZbin channel. She also happens to enjoy mountain biking and camping so I think that's the direction she is going to go with it. I will definitely show her this video!

[@jortomedia]

So much value! Thanks Ryan

[@antonioveldsman]

Thank you so much for paving the way and shining light on the unknown for upcoming creators such as myself. This is a really empowering video. I'll be saving this video and using your guidance to get my channel's first sponsors.🤘🏼

[@CycleTravelOverload]

Best of luck on your sponsorship journey 🙏

[@CycleTravelOverload]

Thanks for the valuable info Ryan. Been working on sponsorships for sometime. Was able to land a $2.7k deal a little while back. Seeing how I can add more value to brands to get some more deals in the pipeline. Appreciate your content! Subbed!

[@malcolmmoore]

Try pitching an idea to a french tourism board, I once got told that if I had a blog with 100 monthly views they would help me out, but 1,000,000 monthly views on KZbin didn't cut the mustard 😂 wild the different amount of success I have in various European countries, Austria definitely seems much more forward thinking and I have alot more success there!

[@RoadRangerPH]

Finally some who doesn't gatekeeps thanks man it helps me a lot

[@Thesh00tinggallery777]

I really really appreciate the video. This is exactly what I was trying to learn about

[@nathbutcher]

Great video mate. You have a solid understanding of how marketing managers think. Keep changing hard. 👊🏼

[@MTBwMacc]

Great video as always I especially like when you do your deep dive how to videos very educational

[@teamphashash]

Been ingesting info on content creation and somehow I overlooked this subject at this level. Thank you. ❤

[@BoomyOutdoors]

This video came at a really good time. It re-enforced my short comings (I am a stills photographer and need to redevelop video skills). I am a former ambassador for a kayak company and my friends were for other companies in the industry, so I have dealt with the "issues" that come with those contracts. Looking into the MTB world and maybe expanding back into the kayak world, this video provided a ton value for me. Thank you, you gave me some things to think about. (Sidenote the Baja500 is on my short list of shoots)

[@kellykillingsworth01]

How many days would you wait before sending another email, if you haven’t heard anything from your first email? What is the average wait time you’ve had for responses to your first email sent?

[@AnthonysA-List]

Man I’m so glad I found your channel. I’d love to chat with you about this topic

[@TNTbiking]

This is just the Video I have been looking for. I am a small mountain bike content creator and as my channel grows everything you said will help me a lot. Thanks!!

[@advantagevic]

this is so helpful, thank you for sharing this man

[@leecegal]

Such a great video! Thanks!

[@Obstreperous1]

So very true! I really appreciate your 1, 2, 3s of collaboration! I've often overlooked some of the benefits of a partnership I bring. Having a contract is huge. I've found myself in limbo on what I Owe for a product/partnership 3wks post delivery on a product that took 8 months to arrive (rifle, due early competition season, arrived with 3 weeks of the series finale). I can't really SELL how awesome this gun is or shoot the best with a 3 week old product.

[@RapidoRafi-MTB]

The video I needed to see to progress in life and mountain biking 🙌🏽

[@lilyLily1824]

Lake Havasu City is a big deal in AZ, SoCAL AND NV. Has a lot of history, is part of the Colorado River. It’s also a party town. Lived there in 95. Had a great time! Thanx for the info! Oh yeah London Bridge is there too! How cool is that?

[@christian.peper21]

This was hella work to put together. Nicely done 👏🏼

[@ryanbarrie4647]

This video was incredible, the sound is insanely crisp

[@OhrionReacts]

1. I would love a course on this 2. My question is... how do you find the right persons email (where find the emai) to then start pitching? 🤘🔥 - fantastic video, very informative

[@JingShenKuoshu]

Great question. I would like to hear the response myself

[@phamwoaw]

not a mountain biker by any means but WOW this video was massively informative and inspiring

[@nemoismyson]

Thank you for providing value

[@johnwestgeest7751]

This was very helpful.

[@jerryspeedbumps512]

You're a very talented media guy. What about some content regarding your process. Maybe a little deeper into how you flesh out a story? Do you storyboard? Write a script? How often are you filming on the fly, vs something you may have storyboards for? This something you have another channel for?

[@nguday2003]

I really appreciate your through breakdown. Thank you

[@stephencelliers9127]

Wow. Interesting starting platform. I am still researching the adventures of FPV flying. What would the estimated range of your setup? I know flight time is relative to battery size,weight and the other factors like environment and lighting activities.

[@kellykillingsworth01]

Saving this video, great content! I will work on this over the winter, thank you!

[@fazyluck]

Dude this is super helpful! really well lid out! Thanks

[@jayylls]

This is actually such a sick video!!!

[@ryanstafford4657]

Honestly I've been looking into a certain industry. And have been getting called from sales teams about marketing their products. I was just looking to buy one... after watching this it's really has me thinking

[@jnetwork7159]

This came in clutch for me right now Ryan. From a fellow yegger, thanks dude 😎

[@mscsm2946]

Good for you. Lots of hard work. Keep dreaming. Proud of you.

[@Mrgberry2]

Don't know how this got on my feed but it was well done. I was not even thinking about this lifestyle and now..... I see how it works..? And it's work... But it makes sense

[@redwingsgo12]

Wow great video. It just randomly showed up just as I have a great idea for a video for my other channel TheEpiMountainBiker. I just need a fat bike which I dont have 🤦 after winning a human rights thing against my city for commuting by bike I have this HUGE idea that could affect everyone in Ontario but no fat bike.

[@gregsouza5748]

Excellent video , thank you

Pink bike my god the hours i spent on that website dreaming as a kid !

[@thecruzreport]

Stand up to the jump was brilliant

[@maksxperia02]

I love it! Thanks man.

[@niskanen19]

I think asking for a sponsor is a great start

[@WeiseGuy91]

Man, I'd love to hear about how you got into the filmography aspect. I have a scuba channel as my main channel, doing well in the education side on that and have some brand deals. I want to start something with a motorcycle I'm buying and my truck I'm building to off-road in. I don't have any experience filming anything outside of talking head though and underwater video.

[@flipsworld870]

Very well informed and put together video. Thank you!

[@ShawnFranklin15]

Fantastic video, thanks for all the info!

[@frederikvlaanderen5931]

Thx this really inspired me!

[@Saultimate]

Great video with great tips on it. I'm gonna use some of them myself as I've been struggling to even get an answer from brands I reach out to. At first I thought that the problem could be the country I'm from (Spain) or the small amount of followers on my channel but after watching the video I can clearly see some mistakes I've been doing. So thank you :D

[@OldYounGamer]

Let me tell you why 😉 You having already more than 1k Subs and me having a Channel with not more than 135 Subs we both are watching a guys channel having way over 400k subs telling people how to get sponsors the “easy” way 😂 Now let’s find the issue here 🙈

[@TheLoamRanger]

I worked a deal with Pinkbike, Tourism BC, etc when I had exactly *zero* subscribers. We had brand deals and partnerships before we had 1500 subscribers. There's a method to making these things happen, and it's a lot less dependant on subscriber counts than you think.

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

If you make a good unboxing/testing channel that goes through a wide range of products sponsors and products to test come to you

[@outlandishmtb]

This was a great insight into what it takes to make a good living in the KZbin world. I'm pretty new at it and right now just love the creative side. I do love getting views as well, it's a form of income if you will. I would love to make some money to pay for this expensive habit, I ride about 500+ Kms a month so lots of costs. The road trips are the best part of it though, I love finding new trails. I wonder if I can right off some of my bike/travel expenses on the presumption I'm trying to make a business of this. I will have to look into it but if anyone knows, let us know!

[@ShanePlaysTV]

I got my first ever promotion for this channel the other day, $200 for a product promo in my niche. Iv had others, mostly apps and streaming services but it’s either been affiliate or very low pay. So I was super chuffed! I’d love to know how I could get more or a sponsor. Theirs people on my niche of gaming who have more subs, around the same views as me and have sponsors I could only dream of. I guess one thing I’m doing right with this channel is, my audience. I have a good returning subscriber ratio and my audience engages a lot. So I appreciate this video highly 😊

[@MagooOnABike]

This vid couldn't have come at a better time!! It's nearly time for a new bike - I'll definitely try sending off a few emails :)

[@itstee]

Any ideas for sponsors for volleyball club? I find it's very difficult, because they usually do not respond to solicitors

So is this the key to success? Provide mad value and in turn you will gain monetary value back ?

[@madrancher]

Thank you so much for this! I would totally do a course if you ever did one!

[@Maz.V.P]

Yes, you should do a course on it 😄

[@redleaderracing]

This is brilliant. Thanks for this

[@mattdubya]

Do you have any comment on the level of effort (hours of work) you would attribute to your level of success? I've always wondered about the amount of work behind the scenes in order to get the expected value the sponsor is looking for, especially in your early days.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Oh boy... when we started the channel, we were publishing 2-3 videos per week, in addition to our normal jobs. I don't track hours (I really should) but I would say that at the moment, I have roughly a 50 hour workweek, on average.

[@realestatephotovideoshawns1177]

That was pretty good!
