what good people it's ya boy fresh welcome to the channel and today let's
talk about how to get sponsored on YouTube now this is an age-old question
that many of you out there have asked me in the past I've been asked this
question I'd say at least a couple dozen times from upcoming tech youtubers
wanted to know how to get review units into their possession and how to
maintain relationships and grow on youtube i will divide this process up
into five different ways developing a brand is finding the right company the
point of contact quick turnaround and also maintaining that relationship
developing a brand is quite honestly the most important piece of this process and
also the one that's going to take the longest I wouldn't expect you to do this
overnight but when companies come out and seek you you want to make sure they
see an example of something that's reputable that's clear and concise and
that they know what to expect when dealing with you and doing business you
want to come across polished and well put together and to break that down even
further that comprises of your logo your thumbnails your website if you have one
your social presence your social media outlets Twitter Instagram you want to
make sure everything gives the same message across the board and understand
that you are representing the business and you are the product now I'm finding
the right company as a partner with make sure that they offer a product that
you're genuinely interested in something that you want to review that you've been
curious about also make sure that it's within your scope of knowledge so that
way you can speak about it intelligently and convey your honest opinion about
that product to your viewers of your supporters also when reaching out to
these companies understand your work your value and what you bring to the
table now as a small youtuber I know for a fact that I'm not going to reach out
to companies like Bose beats sony or samsung or apple because they're not
going to send me an iphone they're not going to give me a TV or playstation 4
to review because i don't have any impact on their audience or a large
enough impact actually say on their audience to really bring anything to the
table they don't gain anything from doing business with me instead reach out
to the companies that need your exposure that can benefit from your partnership
ones that have a great product or that our startup that needs your audience and
that needs your voice now getting your proposal in front of the right point of
contact is crucial to this process what I did early on being
of course I'm interested in technology I would reach out to companies that had
Kickstarter's or any go-go's or small developers and the products that I was
interested in reviewing I go to the website click on the contact link and
find the email address for the PR contact and I will see my proposal
directly to that person now my chances of getting the reply or much greater
considering that most times when they receive emails it's from tech reviewers
I said that would like to have reviewing it to you know how about their company
and give their products of voice so that way i know that i'm actually going to
get some type of response whether it be a positive or a negative one that's
going to be much more efficient than me tweeting the company or me dming the
company on instagram or twitter also another outlet that's great for getting
review units is famed it now fame it is a platform that allows content creators
to get directly in touch with the people that need their resources so different
companies are going there and put up advertisement saying hey we need this
person to review this lipstick or this speaker or this case and then you as a
content creator mean that you review cases and speakers all the time and that
you're interested in that product you go ahead and send them a proposal directly
so that way you're actually able to cut out a lot of the searching in terms of
trying to find the company to work with you actually are able to see the
companies that want to work with you now a quick turnaround is exactly what it
sounds like after all the hard work you've done in securing this product
review make sure that you're getting it out to the company as soon as possible
you don't want to compromise the integrity of the review but make sure
that you get enough swim in a timely fashion so that way you're not turning
in future relationships now maintaining that relationship is equally as
important as all this of course you've done all the hard work of securing the
company doing the review getting into them and making sure you're on point
save that contact information to reach out to them in the future let them know
that it's an open-door policy and you're always open to more review units and
future business now i'm closing i'll leave a link in the description to my
website where i have this full video and the full process in writing form
something that's a little more in depth for you guys so that we can read through
it at your own time as well as a template for the proposal that i send
out the company so that way you can get a good blueprint of how to form your
proposal on how to really convey your worth to a company but it's been a
pleasure is usable guys hopefully this answers all of your questions to anyone
out there we're actually in the past and hopefully
anyone out there that is looking for an answer to this process hopefully it
helps you out I've been a pleasure as usual thanks for watching stay tuned
