[00:02] feel so awkward asking for money. So, why are you doing it? Well, I need paid brand collaborations. I get that. But, negotiating isn't just saying a number goes into it. Like what? Like asking about scope, budget, exclusivity, usage [00:17] rights, which helps you avoid undercharging and set boundaries. All at once? I'm saving this. First, ask exactly what deliverables they're requesting because one reel can quickly turn into multiple edits, stories, and [00:32] raw footage requests. Got it. Then what? Then ask what budget they already have set aside for this campaign instead of just jumping into saying a number or sending a rate sheet. Okay. Anything else? Finally, ask whether they'll be [00:44] requesting any sort of usage rights or exclusivity from you because those add even more value to the partnership. That is so helpful. Where did you learn all of this? Oh, I follow Milli. She helps creators negotiate brand deals and build [00:57] sustainable creator businesses. You should follow her, too.
