When you have a name of the brand then your job is to find the right people to contact in that company.

A way you can do this is by searching through LinkedIn for an:

  • Influencer Marketing Manager
  • Social Media Manager


If you can't find any of the above working in the company then your best bet would be to find the

  • Marketing Manage
  • Digital Markting Manager

How much does sponsors pay YouTubers?

Depending on the anticipated total number of views for the proposed video, YouTubers can charge sponsors between $10 and $50 per 1,000 views. If a video receives 1 million views, The YouTubers price for a sponsored video ranges from $10,000 to $50,000.

This is of course the simple way of calculating the price for a sponsored post. If the sponsor want you to create a high-end video that might take you weeks to complete. Then the effort it took to create the video, should be reflected in the price. And you should therefor charge more for the sponsored video.

How To Attract YouTube Sponsorships?

Here are two approaches to get the greatest sponsors for your YouTube channel in the same business.

Make Contact with Brands in Your Field

If you're reviewing things, the easiest approach to get sponsorships is to speak with the brand or company directly and see what they can do for you. Please keep in mind that this requires a substantial amount of high-quality content. Make sure you've met all of the requirements before getting started.

Put your energy into growing your channel, and they will come

Quality draws visitors, which in turn attracts sponsors and companies. When you've built a following large enough, you'll start getting requests from businesses and companies to sponsor you on social media platforms. Even if the movie quotation "Build it, and they will come" may be corny, if it happens to you, you are doing something worthwhile.

Conclusion

As a YouTuber who don't get a lot of inbound influencer marketing requests your job is to act like a sales man.
