Question of the Day ⚡ Do you want to pursue brand deals & sponsorships for your RUclips channel? Let us know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 **** Watch our FREE RUclips class here ➡️ ThinkMasterclass.com
I got yesterday an opportunity for my channel, using 2 video animations software. I just need to put a 1 minute part into my video, with my face, how I use it. I get a composition and free use of the software for it in return. Very cool this. But where to put it, beginning, in the end?
Yes! I'm currently in the process of overhauling my channel (I've been going a few years but haven't been consistent enough, I'm currently sitting at 1.3k subs and over 200k views). As part of my pivot I have devised a monetisation strategy (after reading RUclips secrets - thanks Sean and Benji), and brand deals is in that strategy, but I have put it as a future strategy (for once I get more established). This video, however, has turned that on it's head and I have realised that I can actually incorporate Brand deals into my strategy FAR earlier than I ever anticipated, so THANKYOU for this video! So helpful! And congrats to Oliver on his success to far - he's an inspiration!
I love hearing stories of relatively small RUclipsrs being able to successfully monetize and go full-time! It makes my RUclips goals seem that much more in reach. Don’t give up on your RUclips dreams!
THIS IS LITERALLY THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR! Everyone's talking about tips for affiliate marketing, but they all seems to gloss over how you actually get started as a small creator and how it's perfectly possible to make a good income with a small channel. I'm hoping by the end of this year I'll be able to turn YT into a full time job, and when I've mentioned this to my friends (with currently only just over 3k subscribers) I know they haven't taken it seriously and it's made me doubt myself at times. This is so encouraging and just what I needed to watch today. Thank you so much - please make more content on actually getting started (how to approach brands, how to seek out partnerships, how to build strong relationships with brands as a small creator etc etc). It's all well and good knowing how to go about affiliate marketing once you actually start working with the brands, but finding those business relationships in an authentic way is something that just isn't talked about enough! Thank youuuuuu x
It's so great to see these conversations with youtubers with smaller audiences who are making it work. It definitely makes the whole thing feel more attainable. Thank you as always!
I just love all the advice. I’ve been making for about 8 weeks now and the advice the tips everything have been great. I’m growing steady with 10 vids, 60 subs and 1200 views. Thank you for the motivation!
Love it when people come on and really show appreciation for Think Media content. If people are new here then you can really see how valuable all the information is that's provided here.
Wow, this was super inspiring! I love how Oliver turned a side hustle into a full-time job while still in college. It really shows that having a niche audience can lead to amazing opportunities, even with just a small number of subscribers. One big lesson I took away is to really value your work and not undersell yourself-charging what you're worth is key! Also, it was cool to see how tracking results for brand deals can give you more leverage when negotiating prices. I’m definitely going to apply these tips about building quality relationships with brands and finding creative ways to bundle offerings. Just goes to show that with the right skills and mindset, you can really make a career out of what you love!
I’m so excited to have the views in order to get brand deals from art companies and art products that I’m passionate about using and that I would love to share with others. Thank you for sharing this video and all that you do for the RUclips community
Hey Sean, I’m a teenager who started a youth-based Christian RUclips channel with intent to work at it for a few years and eventually use it as a stream of income after college. I’m growing my channel using business cards, and it’s been working in recent days. My question is for a purely Christian channel, what are the best options for income? (Looking into it for the future so I can best equip myself now.) Thank you!
Sorry to say this, but you won't be able to live off YT, videos like this are meant to make you watch the whole way through and give your false hope. Of course it is possible to grow on YT, but not in the way your are doing so, I recommend you focus on getting a physical (non-online) job and just do RUclips as a hobby with a potential to grow on the side.
I’ve been practicing what you preach in all your videos and I’ve gained 50 subs in a week. I’m not sure if that’s good/bad, but I’m happy with it. ☺️ Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! You are truly inspiring. ❤️
this video is so edifying, I gave up on so many brands reaching out to me for free work. sometimes we underestimate ourselves when we have just a little amount of subscribers. but these brands see potential in us that's why the come to you, and it's much beneficial to them than to you, specially when you already have a source of incom!!
Got monetized last August and then I receive an email from a brand for affiliate marketing. Now, been watching videos on how to deal with brands. And I have been following on this videos. Thank you for sharing.
Just started this channel. My who: Anyone needing advice that maybe their family and friends are unwilling to give them. My why: To help people get through the harder obstacles in life that they feel stuck on or are too foggy to figure out. I will be brutally honest with anyone who submits advice to this channel. Sometimes brutal honesty is what people need to see what they are missing.
Agreed! I started my RUclips channel 5 weeks ago, and this week I was offered my first Brand Paid Partnership! I have so few subscribers but because I have a specific niche and I am targeting a specific market.
Sean, man, i can't tell you how much your videos are helping me! I'm getting ready to take my ministry online. This is phase 2 of God's will for my life. It was no coincidence that I just happened to come across your videos. I know it was God, once again, haha. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain things so thoroughly, and cover so many topics. I'm not as intimidated about my learning curve. Thanks again, Brother!!
Suggesting he specifically words the service like it’s a new package that he has available is excellent advice. These types of adjustments to your salesmanship make all the difference in the world. I’d suggest to take it one step further and optimize some specific wording into 1-2 sentence standalone statements that appeal to the goals/mission statement of the non-profit and can be inserted into the conversation at different times. This strategy is excellent for adding value to yourself when you feel more is needed at a certain time, can be used to steer a conversation away from something negative or towards something positive and are a great way to add late value near the end of a conversation, as to be one of the final sticking points for them to factor as they consider your proposal. This works very well in all forms for sales efforts. Everything from products to job interviews to convincing your parents of an allowance raise. And an easy way to add a simple punch to anything you say is to speak in definitive terms, omit contractions, adjust articles such as the to thee and include a brief pause after for emphasis. A simple example; instead of saying “It’s the best product on the market,” saying “This is thee…best product on the market!”
Sean, this is just what I need to know. I am being approached by companies to promote their products, asking me what are my prices, and I am trying to sort this out. Thank you for this timely post.
Thank you for sharing this valuable content! Passionate french chef, I decided to share my skill and knowledge on youtube and videos like this help me understand and learn about this platform world 🙏🔔
Woow thanks so much for this amazing video ❤ I struggled a lot to find something related to understand what I am dealing with or just to feel like I am not alone in this situation. Thanks again ❤❤ this is my favorite channel
That "Quality Editing" part is ok when you are monetized and getting money to buy equipment to improve. But how about when you are starting, without the top resources or money???
I have been doing youtube for a lil while now and regardless of what camera ur using I think the first, most important thing to invest in is a tripod (I mean if ur a vlogger I guess its not that important😂). There are a bunch out there but if you choose to get one and you are using ur phone to record your vids make sure that it comes with an attachment to hold your phone. I recommend the Abithid tripod from amazon, its for phones or cameras and is probably my favorite thing out of all my other yt gear, I have no complaints. Hope this helps!!!
@Yovelin Florentino - Utilize natural light for good lighting if you don’t have any other source. I use my smartphone for now as camera. Videoleap for editing. I have a tripod and a gimbal that I just purchased. I think content is still king. Other areas like lighting and editing follows to add quality. I’m still new and mistakes happen all the time but I guess the key is to continue and gain experience.
itskatryn Thanks for the advice. You can see our content in our channel “Quenny Vida Simple”. Drop by so you can see what we have been doing. Likewise, with a smartphone as camera and homemade lighting...
Hi Sean! How do you actually get the brand sponsorship .. do you reach out to companies or do you wait for them to come to you? I have 2 that I would like to target but I really don't know how to do it or when to do it. I haven't even posted a video, but am the type that likes to have a POA. Thanks so much for helping us all !! xoxo
As always ...such a great video. You guys really help more than i think you know. There are soooo many new channels appearing now due to current situations, myself included and I think that EVERY video you post is a valuable lesson for us all. Advice that you would pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for are here and free! Thank you Thank you for all that you do. Truly amazing! Much Love MrB
Incredible. The market or category you choose to create content for definitely plays a huge role in the types of partnership opportunities that can come your way.
🦋let’s just say I was doing paralegal work for $10/hr, I did graphic design, reporting, RFP’s for a whopping $15/hr & did it all remotely for $20/hr employers will gladly take advantage
Great watch for a niche channel such as ours (Football/Soccer content for developing players). Inspiring to see what we can achieve with the right strategy!
Hey Sean I am just starting on RUclips, your channel is a part my daily routine. My passion is tech, unboxing and reviewing. Do you have any advice for someone starting from zero?

Yes but I don't think I have enough subscribers for that

P.s. HUGGGGEEEE congratulations to Oliver - what he's achieved is amazing and he should be so proud!
You just went from 3k subs to 400k!! That’s crazy ❤😮
This taught me there are no small channels, just small visions. I will start thinking bigger as I help entrepreneurs reach 7 figures. Love you guys!!

Well said!

so true small but we keep trying #2020
Michelle, absolutely, if they can lower the 4000 watch hours a little, would make it so much more possible for more.
@@BradJSuccess I hear you, that's definitely a challenge! Keep at it though!!

Always value yourself highly. Because if you don't, everyone else will just value you as low worth.

Don't give up! Anyone with a small channel... make valuable content for your subscribers and keep going! You never know how far you could go!
