Step-by-Step Guide
Create a one-page media kit
Include subscriber count, average views, audience age/gender, and email. Add 2-3 video links showing your best performance.
Identify 20 brands you'd recommend
List brands relevant to your audience. Prioritize companies you've used or believe in.
Research brand contact methods
Find brand partnership emails (check their websites or LinkedIn). Cold outreach works better than trying to contact generic support.
Send a personalized pitch email
Show you know their product, explain why your audience fits, and attach your media kit. Keep it under 200 words.
Negotiate and sign a contract
Agree on payment, deliverables, posting timeline, and usage rights. Get everything in writing.
Build Your Media Kit
Create a 1-page PDF with your subscriber count, average views, audience demographics, and 2-3 best-performing videos. Brands need this info to say yes.
Target Brands That Fit Your Comedy
Approach brands your audience actually uses—energy drinks, apps, tech gadgets, or services. Authentic sponsor recommendations drive better conversions.
Join Creator Networks
Sign up for networks like AspireIQ, Klear, or Creator.co. These connect creators with brands looking for sponsorships.
Negotiate Fairly and Document Terms
Get sponsorship terms in writing. Typical rates are 0.50-5 USD per 1,000 views for comedy channels. Negotiate usage rights, exclusivity, and content requirements upfront.
Pro Tips
- Only promote brands you genuinely like—audiences can tell when you're faking enthusiasm.
- Disclose sponsorships clearly ('Paid partnership' or '#ad')—it's required by law and builds trust.
- Negotiate per-video rates based on your latest video's views, not your channel average.
- Keep sponsors happy with deadline compliance and honest reporting of views and engagement.
- Build relationships with brand partnerships managers—repeat deals are easier to land than cold pitches.
