So how you get sponsors for your YouTube channel whether you are just starting out or you are
well establish I'm gonna talk about that in this video
What's up influencers Sean here with Video Influencers
Helping you build your influence and your income with online video
And today I just want to talk about a question that a lot of you are asking and people are
trying to figure out and that's really how to make more money
off their YouTube channel specifically by getting sponsors to pay them
to make videos and even getting free products to review
in those videos . And I recently came across this site called Famebit now you might of
heard about it before but in this video I want to talk about some
of my opinions some of my thoughts on it and I've been
able to complete a few sponsor projects and so I want to share about those as well
and hey make sure to check out links and other details in show notes that I may have forgot
to include on the video in the YouTube description
let's get into the video So Famebit is a website that is design to
connect brands with youtubers and youtubers to brands
And it does both of those things really well And a couple of just the facts about fame
bit To get started you actually have to have 1000
subscribers Through their interface they specifically
help you find sponsors for your channel and videos
The site is very well organize and the sponsorships are broken into categories
Beauty and fashion gaming and apps health and fitness others pets tech
They've got a super cool mobile app that will help you find sponsorships on the go
And you can submit proposals And I loved it because you can work on your
YouTube channel any time They recently added new platforms including
sponsorships for Instagram Vine and Twitter I haven't mess with that stuff there yet but
it is there so something to know about Another feature of famebit that I haven't
started using it is a way to finding collabs There is a whole collaboration section where
you can find people by channel size With a little bit of details on what they
want to collaborate on and so that's there And basically the gist is this that you sign
out for famebit you find something that you want to do a
Sponsorship with like a piece of tech gear, you submit a proposal they agree to the proposal
You get paid to make the video and then you get the free product or in some cases they
just give you A return shipping label and you can review
the product and then ship it back So let me tell you about my personal experience
with famebit so far I've been able to land a few sponsorships
already and I've done one on my tech channel called
Thinkmediatv and I'll throw a YouTube card up of that I'll also put it in the description
so you can check out the final product there now that
channel is under 20 000 subs and I've done another one
under a channel that's 10 000 subs is cool from my perspective famebit is something that
smaller channels or channels that are still on those
early stages can definitely engage with and land
sponsorships deals so that's super awesome I researched a little bit and i've heard of
people with even under 5000 subs and on that very early stage
land sponsorship deals which is huge because as you know if you are monetizing your channel
with adsense
if you got a low sub count and a low view count you are really not making that much
money so you can start actually landing some good
deals and make real money at it through this sponsorships
So here are some of my initial thoughts and tips about having success in famebit
Number one the more focus and niche your channel is the better
We actually talked a lot about this on video influencers and the power of having a niche
is that If you just kinda have a general channel that's
not about really anything And you can't really prove that your audience
is interested in one thing and that is fashion Or just one thing and that is pets and everything
to do with pets And when you have a focus niche even if your
channel is not very large brands are more likely to work with you because
they know your subscribers and your audience and
your viewers is watching a channel of focus niche content
and so personally I have a channel SeanTHINKs that has 35000 subscribers but it's totally
just a personal
channel of random stuff and it doesn't really connect to much and I haven't really been
able to have much success there where as my tech channel
is tech reviews audio reviews video gear reviews and that is were sponsorships have come through
and so when it comes to your channel the more focus you can be really the better
to have success with sponsorships secondly and kind of a long of those same
lines if you look at the categories famebit has
they kind of reveal where is a market on YouTube and social media
and what I mean is this that if you want to build a YouTube channel and you are trying
to think of a topic that will be possible to
monetize now in Video Influencers we talk about
building a channel around anything around your passion like it could be gardening or
it could be auto supplies you know around your passion for cars
it could be a niche category inside of anything like really anything at all however
when you look at the channel you see this categories which shows you
even if these spaces are crowded it just shows you where there's a market for
this stuff so specifically beauty and fashion we know that big
gaming and apps we know gaming is huge as well as mobile apps
health and fitness great anything in health and fitness can also be like food you know
blenders green juice all that kind of stuff
pets there's that category and then tech and so all kinds of stuff camera is tech cell
phone cases and then there's another category and in there
there's sort of a mix If you are thinking in like if you are at
that stage of building your channel Focusing in and making your channel more clear
not it doesn't have to be within those But that's where I'm noticing were there's
the most brand activity and social media activity Where there's a product that's being sold
or let's say you have a channel thats reviewing books
You might need to go directly to people to try to do deals and get free books
And maybe review books like it's not a category we are seeing on famebit right now
So just kind of a tip that even just getting in there
Might help you focus your channel now you want to stay congruent and do what you want
Or what you are passionate about but I just feel like that's a good insight
The categories that exist for brand deals are a great place to be for monetize your
channel more And build your income with online video
And then number 3 and my last tip Is famebit is an incredible connecter I mean
how cool that they created this site that Makes it so user friendly to just go in apply
for sponsorships everything is handled The whole process is really well organized
is just done so well But you still have to put the hustle in
And we already now as a video influencer yourself you understand that you know that
Is hard work and nobody is entitle to a free ride on YouTube and that
It takes perseverance and it takes patience and specifically just to give you a point
of you from my perspective I mention my channel numbers and you know
where am at I think I've landed three deals and I've probably
submitted like 30 and so that's kinda rough numbers
I'm getting a lot more back and forward talking right now but just to throw it out there
Like don't just like you know oh you submit a proposal and its so easy it takes hustle
Because this is very much you know a business deal and you want to be professional
You want your channel to be professional and your content to be as good as possible
And that's not to say you shouldn't jump in and crush it on famebit but just now that
it does take work if you have a much larger channel might
come a little bit easier but that's kind of being my experience
So anyway those are a few of my thoughts and stay tune to Video Influencers
