hello I am wanderer001 and this is my review of social Bluebook it has both a free and paid
version realistically if you're looking at the free version you can gain a value of one account
meaning one YouTube account and that's pretty much it everything else you do have to pay for
it if you want it so the question is does social Bluebook have value enough for you to pay for it
and I will talk about the pricing later as of late the way that the world has been I have
considered taking on sponsorship or sponsored videos granted I haven't accepted any as of yet
but the big problem with taking on a sponsorship or a sponsored video is knowing your value nine
times out of 10 you probably have no idea how much you're worth as a creator or how much the eyeballs
that look at your stuff makes you worth that is where social Bluebook comes in as you can see here
this is the landing page when we first come in I have my icon from my YouTube page right there so
this is my dashboard from here I have quick access to my values Pro insight social Bluebook Academy
media kit that's this top portion again if you are on a non paid version you have access to the
my values the pro insight media kit and academy all require you to have a paid version scrolling
down to the bottom you also have access via the paid to the deals hub community and resources
now the resources are links to other pages that show you things like magic links and special
offers that you can get by paying for social Bluebook community is a Facebook group which
I'm not really a facebook person so I didn't go there and deal hub I will show you as we move on
so what we're gonna do is we're going to select my values which can be mirrored up here so we
have my my values pro insight community and the Academy so we're gonna start with the important
part my value how much is my youtube work worth here you can see I have three accounts attached
my secondary YouTube channel my main YouTube channel and an Instagram which is broken because
apparently the legacy API stopped working no big deal I don't use Instagram all that much so right
here you could see my secondary channel very small doesn't get the eyeballs not valued at that much
here we have my main channel which shows me I have a much higher value but you'll also notice
in the upper left hand corner the last time that it refreshed my value was one day and one hour ago
so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to refresh for all the platforms that I have attached
and what this does is it moves my highest value to the front so what we can see now is my main
channel here has a suggested low value of doing a dedicated upload in July of 61 dollars with
a high of 267 dollars with a mid range of 164 50 now the beauty of this is this changes dynamically
based on what month so let's say October I want to do a dedicated view you notice that number in
all aspects has gone up and that's because well October November December those are your primary
advertising months and notice I can also change it from a dedicated upload to maybe I just want
to do a shout out maybe I want to do a direct link maybe I want to do active feed promotion
that changes all the values now this is something that I had no idea about and I'm very happy that
I found this for just this purpose if I knew nothing else about social Bluebook this would
be if you have one channel just make an account get your evaluation you never know how much you're
actually worth scrolling down you could see I have 11,000 subscribers I've got total views
or views per video not quite that much it depends on the video here you have a drop down for extra
information so just as any other good aggregate site it will pull your information from YouTube
and we're just gonna close that up if for whatever reason I wanted to add another one I come down to
the lower right and I click on this plus sign and I can add another account if I wanted to I could
create a proposal right from here but we're not going to do that and then this one is a shareable
card so if I want to I can create a PDF and I could say here advertisers here's my information
what we're going to do now is right back up here for the view channel growth this is something new
that they've added if I do this on my main channel it shows you the growth that you've had over time
and again it's pulling all that metadata out of YouTube and putting it in a nice place latest
videos will show your latest videos but also has prices of what you've made so I'm not gonna show
that because I don't know YouTube seems you know off about whether you actually share that or not
Channel type is weird for me because I don't really do autos I do science and technology a
lot but not automotive but that is a quick look at our values next up on our list is pro insight
this is something that only becomes available to you if you have a paid version and it to me
I haven't found much use out of it only because my main channel is where I'm getting most of my
information from and all this other info really doesn't do it for me so yeah I thought it would
be more useful I thought I'd see something more like you would get in do buddy which is another
software service that I use and start off free but now pay for because it is an awesome tool review
lists up there in the corner if you're interested in that speaking of to buddy social Bluebook does
also integrate quite nicely with two buddy but after pro insight which i pretty much see that
my main channel is getting me all my views there is community don't really actively participate in
facebook so there you go Academy is this little extra information that you can get from social
Bluebook so if you've seen any of those startup academies this is pretty much what it is I went
through and I watched quite a few of them I'm not going to lie this is probably not why you
should pay for social Bluebook it really most of the information you could find on youtube already
for free and aside from a couple of documents that I found useful and probably could have found if I
put a little more time into it I just really didn't find it worthwhile for that being the
portion that I was paying for now the thing to keep in mind also is they're using it looks like
a proprietary video service for that and there's no speeding it up it loaded really weird so again
don't for social Bluebook for at the academy now I clicked on home this is your notifications if
you had any and then we've got our settings over here so media King this is the public view of me
wonder double one so what this is if a brand is looking for you they can come to social Bluebook
and they can see here's this person he's got categories which I don't have set up but if
I click on this I can tell the brands more about myself so I can pick categories that best fit my
content and then I can pick my value message over here on the right so hypothetically I'm gonna say
I'm an authority and we do not - it would help if these were actually an alphabetical order on the
Left we're gonna say baking so I'm going to hit save and now here we go categories you see baking
and I'm an authority for my values if you wanted to change this you can always click on this again
and take your check marks off and then hit save you can also edit any portion of this your logo
your name and then you could share so I can copy this link and share it with people I can text it
to a phone number or I can have a message which would be text so we're just gonna cancel on this
page you also see my follower account but you also see each of my channels and how they're doing here
to my second channel which doesn't quite have the subs reviews that my main channel has and
here you can see age range audience country and then breakdown of my recent videos on this page
you can also feature example content so here I put two types of videos for detail tech reviews if I
wanted to add more I can come up here add content I can add a photo I can add a video link but you
will have to give it a description for each so that it kind of knows what it's aggravating
together so that is your media kit again media kit is something that you have with the paid version
of social Bluebook drop down my projects this is something I actually tried a couple of times lower
right-hand corner is how you start a new project so right now I have 0 public campaigns I have zero
invitations meeting a company reached out to me I made one proposal based on a software company that
wanted me to review their software here I could see title proposed price and the expiration date
as a filming this is two days away from expiring and the reason that this has an expiration date
is your value constantly changes based on the engagement that your videos are getting and you
know what time of year you're actually doing this so I can share which I did if we share this I can
copy the link and send it to the vendor or I have an email that I can send it to or if I have their
number I can send it to them that way I can call off this particular one which I'm not going to
do just yet because I'm going to show you edit and this is what it would look like when you're
creating a new proposal you give it a title you kind of have a brief description what's it about
you pick your platform you select what type it is is it a dedicated upload is it a shout-out direct
link what I wish they would do is I wish they would allow you to have multitude so I want to
make a combination of dedicated and a shout-out or a dedicated and direct link sadly they do not
you have to pick those individually you set your fee you set delivery date basic description as
to what is going on you can see here that social Bluebook is suggesting 16450 based on my current
value you have proposal expiration date and due date of the draft you can set this to display this
rate on your page but you don't have to meeting that media kit or profile page and then you can
update now if you were to do a direct link is only 1750 or now 1645 social Bluebook will only allow
you to set a fee of the minimum of $50 which is why I wish they would allow you to kind of roll
things together but if you want to have multiple campaigns going with this one promotion you can
do that just by selecting one of these other ones and then you would just update so you can see the
platform's right there expiration date and I would have sent this off if I was working on something I
can see my in production I can see deliverables and I could see completed we also have archive
which is a test one I did years now if a company accepts your social Bluebook proposal they do have
to create an account and pay upfront what happens then is social Bluebook puts that money into an
escrow account meaning that unless you deliver the product they meaning the company don't have
to pay you or social Bluebook does not release the funds to you once both sides agree that the
work has been completed satisfactory social Bluebook releases the funds to the creator
so they're acting as a neutral third party and of course you know there is a fee to do that so not
only do you pay for that as a service there's also a service fee not that it's bad but just
be aware so my projects that's where we are billing not going to show you that but kind
of self-explanatory settings again some private information in there so I'm not going to show
you that deal hub now this is a separate site that you will have to make a separate login for
but here this is a way that you can kind of look at open affiliate marketing so right now this is
the dashboard you can see I've got nothing going on but over here on the left I can come down to
deals and then I can see any openings that there are so here we've got this for slim lounge joggers
so I can see that's the price it's a commission this is a zero percent commission so if I want I
can find something that does have a commission so here we go this is a automotive part so it's $20
there you go 56 cents and it's a 2% Commission it's not great at least this isn't because the
filter is not strong because if I come in here and I type in tech it's yeah I mean tambourines
it needs some work this this needs work I'm not saying that it's bad but it's not what I would
again pay for the service for you also have direct which is if you've seen anybody pimping
Dollar Shave Club drop com fiver Nord again got a review over in the corner hashtag not sponsor Nord
VPN review so I mean it's it's interesting you've got your platforms which you add so that you know
this can work its magic and profile you need to set up your profile here and link it back to your
social Bluebook account before you'll actually see any deals it took me forever to figure that out
so I'm just letting you know that video tutorials and logout that's your last bit up here so social
Bluebook is it worth paying and that's the thing I keep saying you have to pay for this but I haven't
said how much you have to pay for well if you pay for one year upfront it will cost you a hundred
and fifty dollars if you pay monthly it will cost you $20 so the question is is that price worth it
for you for me personally if I'm going to have multiple accounts and that's the big thing for
me do I need the multiple account view then yes then I would pay for it Pro insight not
great media kit can be useful if you're actively reaching out social Bluebook Academy not worth it
and the deal hub maybe you'll find it a little more useful than I did at the very least you
can pay for it for a month and come down here to the resources and they'll show you all sorts
of affiliate marketing stuff that you can do and I'm not going to show you because I'm pretty sure
that goes against Terms of Service so free version if you have one youtube channel and you're really
working on getting that up free version will get you fine you'll be able to see your values
in all the charts and stuff paid version if you have multiple channels or multiple venues or if
you want that media kit that that would be the only reason that I would suggest paying for it
I haven't really seen a lot of push on YouTube for social Bluebook the last videos that I saw
for people who made reviews of this was almost like 2017 it's currently 2020 so I figured why
not do an update put this out there so if you were considering using social Bluebook or maybe you've
heard of social Bluebook and wanted to know what it is I would give you a little insight as to what
it is and how it could help you with that set I have been wanderer001 if you have any questions
