How much can I charge for a brand deal?

Rates vary by niche and audience. Beginner (10K subs): $500-2K. Mid-tier (100K): $2K-10K. Top tier (500K+): $10K-50K+ per video.

Do I need a specific subscriber count to get brand deals?

No formal minimum, but brands typically start at 10K-25K subscribers. Niche audiences with high engagement can attract deals at 5K subs.

How do I disclose sponsored content properly?

Include #ad or #sponsored in the title and description. Say 'This video is sponsored by [brand]' in the opening. Clear disclosure protects your channel.

Can I negotiate better brand deal rates over time?

Yes, absolutely. Share previous partnerships and engagement metrics. Brands pay more for proven performance and audience loyalty.

Should I only partner with big brands?

No. Smaller brands often pay better rates and give more creative freedom. Partner with companies your audience genuinely needs.
