SponmiHow to get sponsored as a creator
To get sponsored, make it easy for a brand to say yes: show a clear audience, offer fixed packages with a price and a delivery time, and take payment through a channel that holds the money until you deliver. Brands buy predictability more than subscriber counts.
Updated
What brands check first
- Recent views per video, not only subscribers.
- Who watches: country, language and topic.
- Whether earlier sponsored posts were labelled and stayed up.
- How fast you answer and whether your terms are written down.
Prepare before the first offer
- Pick one or two formats you can repeat (a 30-second Short, a dedicated video, a mention).
- Write each as a package: what you need from the brand, what you deliver, review steps, number of revisions, delivery days.
- Decide your price and whether it is public.
- Decide in advance what you will not promote.
Where deals come from
- Marketplaces where brands search by channel and package.
- Direct email from brands that already sell to your audience.
- Agencies and MCNs that bring deals for a share of the fee.
Take payment safely
The common failure is working first and waiting for an invoice to be paid. Ask for payment before production and have a third party hold it until delivery. On Sponmi this is the default: the brand's payment is held when you accept and released when the post is delivered.
Questions
- How many subscribers do I need to get sponsored?
- There is no fixed number. Brands sponsor small channels when the audience matches the product and recent videos get steady views.
- Should I work for free products?
- It is your choice, but a product is not payment for your reach. If you accept it, the post still has to be labelled as an ad.
- Do I need a contract?
- You need the terms in writing: deliverables, dates, revisions, usage rights and payment. A marketplace order records these for both sides.
