[00:00] offers just seem to fly into your mail account five minutes of your time and i will tell you why you maybe should not accept
[00:12] any of those sponsorship offers that you're getting i'm a full-time content creator on youtube as well as on twitch
[00:26] into a business and how to monetize it if that sounds interesting to you make every wednesday and saturdays upload if you have any questions my social links
[00:40] monday wednesday friday 10 30 am mmst link in the description but let's get this video is not meant to talk down on any business business practices brands
[00:54] or creators that have cooperated with those brands this video youtubers to handle their first sponsorship offers important that you need to know the values of your brand what you are
[01:11] standing for and how much you are worth when a company comes along to offers you a sponsorship or a deal know your value and then make sure that that aligns with and that is never accept the sponsorship on the same day
[01:27] i do that with anything in life i never try to accept anything within the same even sleep over it over the night and then make a decision in the morning you get pressured into things you get told this deal expires in the next hour
[01:44] this discount is only good for the next 20 minutes something fishy going on and you should never accept the offer on the same day if a company really wants to work with you and want something in
[01:58] contact to renegotiate the contract if you feel the need to and there is no rush in the sense of that you have to complete it in the next 10 hours where the deal is on the table my second point is if if it's too good
[02:13] personal story that i experienced just a few weeks ago if you know i post a lot of pictures of my docs i got contacted
[02:27] by an instagram account that sells doc products and they offer me a sponsorship this instagram account then offered me a sponsorship and a collaboration with their online store to sell their
[02:40] super excited about that and that's something i really wanted so i wanted to accept the offer but then i thought about myself they offered me to hand out a 30 discount to my audience 30 just think
[02:56] back about your favorite content creators on youtube the biggest names if they have ever given you a 30 discount 30 about this online store and what it turned out was it was simply a drop
[03:11] good videos on youtube that explain that but in short it is an online store handled by a single person usually and if you buy something on that named store the owner just turns around goes to asia buys the stuff for about a
[03:27] thirty 30 drop shipping can be highly profitable but the product value and quality is extremely low and it comes with across the world when i found out this was simply a drop shipping store i told
[03:44] them i don't want to have anything to do with that store because i don't want to put my brain in jeopardy by representing a low quality product so if it does seem too good to be true do some digging on the company
[03:57] this video is if it's a sponsorship program that you apply for is it really a sponsorship though and this goes for an insane amount of big brands out there where you can apply for a
[04:12] sponsorship program and it turns out to be simply an affiliate program in the with affiliate programs at all it can be a great way for content they're really standing behind before getting into a sponsorship with a
[04:29] brand but do keep in mind if this affiliate program requires you to buy the product first or requires you to buy a certain amount of product every month in order to keep your affiliate code
[04:41] this affiliate program and selling this product to enough people in most cases this is not true affiliate programs are great for the company
[04:56] themselves because they have nothing to lose and initial purchase in order to even get into the affiliate program i don't think this is really worth it this is just the company ripping you off
[05:10] and i would definitely stay away from that there are great affiliate programs you a unique code that you can then give to your viewers commission on the side if this is a product that you really
[05:25] video at the end of the day you have to align the company's values that you are representing with the values of your brand it is not term it is much more valuable to keep your
[05:43] values deny sponsorships and find the right fit that you can work with for an extended period of time once you have compromised your brand's values just brand marked as a sellout so guys if you enjoyed this
