Welcome to central info page for sponsors.
I get a lot of emails regarding sponsorships and promotions. 1 thing that I have realized that going back and forth with same questions is wastage of time for both parties. I have some moral values and personal preferences while taking sponsorships. So, please read this page before discussing anything further. Discussion about money comes after I agree about the product/app/event/etc
I understand that your product is of high quality and videos that I create are also of high quality, hence you are here. Making these videos takes skills, effort and time. So, no barter system please, I charge my fees upfront.
Here is a sample sponsor video
Sponsor segment at 8:50
I don't prefer to do dedicated videos for product. That fits great for mobile unboxing videos, not for my channel. With sponsorship you get direct slot/time in my videos. I don't do dedicated video as that does not give much value to audience. I prefer only integrated videos.
Here are some common FAQ
FAQ - #1
Do you work on affiliate/barter system
I charge my fees upfront. This is cost of producing high quality video. Such deals can be discussed on top of fees.
FAQ - #2
What kind of products you avoid ?
Last highest that I rejected was 8,000 USD deal for a fantasy game company, so this one is strict no. I also don't take Income Share Agreement companies. No offense.
FAQ - #3
Do we need to share product info?
Yes of course. Start by sending me some links of website or comapny details. If you cannot share details, I find that really odd. If there is an NDA here, mention that clearly in title of email.
FAQ - #4
Giveaway for your audience
If you want to give direct benefits to my audience, I would love that. In fact, I would cut down my fees to 50% for that. Please don't send course coupons in the name of giveaway, also no discount coupons.
FAQ - #5
What details you need from our side?
Apart from full payment, I will need product access, logo/video/text/website about the product and 2 weeks to create a video or crash course where your product fits. If after payment, I am not able to publish video in 2 weeks, I will refund 100% of your payment.
FAQ - #6
Will you show the video before public publish?
You will see the video with rest of audience. I don't put opinions in sponsored companies, it's a mention of product/company. Catching up over email consume time and delays the publishing of my videos. Watch the sample video on this page to get more idea.
FAQ - #7
Our client provide programming/tech courses
So do I. So, make sure you are aware of it. Also, if your client provides coding classes for kids or ISA, I am not interested.
FAQ - #8
Can we get your whatsApp number for faster communication?
Sorry but I don't like to disturb personal life with work. Email and instagram are fastest way to reach me.
FAQ - #9
Bulk video sponsor
If you are interested in sponsoring more than 1 video, in that case I can show you your segment (that will remain same in all videos) before publishing the video. Of course, such deals are at discounted pricing.
FAQ - #10
Exceptions
Yes, I make exceptions for products and services that I use. If such company approach me, it feels great and I am ready to work with such company. But there is no exception in mention of sponsored video as sponsored.
Got that all, what's next
Great, I expect next email to contain product/company details. I will share my fees (that varies, based on product). If you agree, I will send you a payment link. Once done, I can start working on next video.
Stats
All stats that you need are public on my youtube channel. I get most of my traffic from India and USA. Creating a video is in my hand. How many people watch it is not. This is a programming/tech channel, we don't get million views on every unboxing.
