    I just reached out to 3 brands that I use their products regularly in my videos because I love their brand - really daunting to be honest! I was denied for 1, no response from the 2nd, and the third liked the collab idea and asked me - yes they asked me - how much I'd charge for a video on their channel! This happened today and I'm so nervous that I raised the bar too high with my asking price...we'll see how it goes, but this video helped ease my nerves because I think every creator can relate at some point that knowing your worth and value should start early! If you're serious about your channel, start early for sure. I wish I had.

    I wanted to stop by and say I absolutely LOVE the information you provided in this video!! It gave me the courage and push to reach out to a brand I had my eye on for a while. The company is on the smaller side so they weren’t able to offer several free items in exchange for content but they did offer a lifetime discount code and 1 free item to begin the collaboration! 🤗 Thank you so much for creating this video! Please keep doing more! I am a small youtuber and have been trying to stay in the loop with both youtube and instagram to brand myself💕 You have helped a lot with my confidence to make that first step!

    Great video!! Was wondering if you can shed a little more light on the process of attaining the actual email contacts for brands you want to target and pitch to. I feel like this is a topic within the process of procuring sponsorship that isn’t highlighted as much as it should be. I’m a travel content creator and created a good media kit, then had a fiverr seller do some of this research grunt work to find email contacts for me at both small and bigger players in the travel industry. With whatever emails she collected, I blasted out a mass email only inquiring for other direct contact email addresses for their social media marketing departments. Unfortunately I did not get the responses I was hoping for… Any ideas will be helpful…. Thanks!

    Hello! Just thinking about a potential Instagram account and happened upon your videos, so helpful. You've got such a great perspective, coming from the buyer/seller side at the same time. Question: based on all you say about stats/analytics I'm guessing a person should already be a couple months into a channel with several posts/#s to be able to share with brands? Otherwise, there's not much value to "sell", right? Thanks!🌺🙏
