[00:01] earn some extra bucks or you get some free games to play on the street but how are you get in contact with these companies and how did they reach you my name is tree and I'm extremely support for Yoos swing smarter not

[00:13] harder [Music] before we begin a stream every Tuesday Friday and Sunday a p.m. Centurion time

[00:25] on twitch.tv slash tree the first thing you should be doing is leave your you should be doing is leave your contact information everywhere if you haven't done this already make a business email because this is the

[00:37] contact information that you probably want to leave everywhere companies like to email you they sometimes say you in DM on Twitter or Instagram but they prefer to use the email and on a lot of social media it's not a native function

[00:51] to have your email be on your profile so you have to do this yourself on Instagram there's a function for it but on Twitter you need to put it in your bio if you want to share it if you do that you put it doing your Twitter bio

[01:03] people that will be searching for cloning creators would see your profile and Twitter and would want to email you without even haven't seen your channel on to a check obviously when they're considering emailing you they are

[01:17] actually gonna check out your Twitter straw so just keep that in mind some companies don't which itself and then it's just useful to have your email in

[01:29] the About section in your panels below your profile your chip just has a space for an email address so make sure to leave your business address there as a company that wants to work with me check out my profile

[01:45] so now we got our email address everywhere and obviously you need to check that email address I know a lot of you have an email address and you don't check it please do that if you get huge offer you should be there to send an

[02:00] email back and if this is hard for you make sure to just connect your business email with your personal one so you get all your emails in one place or just notification when somebody's emailing you another place where companies might

[02:17] run into you is this court a lot of people underestimate this court but you're talking to people all the time and you're making real connections so if you are talking to a person that works for a company that works with streamers

[02:29] they might want to work with you even if you don't know that they work there therefore it's really really important to connect your discord to your Twitter your YouTube your twitch everything you have that you can connect it to and make

[02:43] sure they're accurate because oh my god so many of you have an old link in there and this is helpful not only for contacting reasons but also if you're a live on twitch it will automatically give you this purple dot in front of

[02:56] your name and people can join your stream from discord another way to work with companies is just emailing them and doing them a proposal if you email a company you make sure to tell them where your channel is about tell them which

[03:09] value you can give to their company and what you asked for in return it's very important to say these things clearly so they can see if they want to work with most companies like to know what you follow our number is and how many views

[03:25] you have but you don't have to state this in the first email you can tell them that they can ask for these numbers if they want this first email is for presenting your twitch channel this is basically just a way of meeting each

[03:37] other in this email you say hey I like you I like your products could we figure present a plan already because companies love it if you commit to plan and they don't have to do all the work but just expect more emails to happen and further

[03:52] details will be shared later like I said you need to know where your channel is about if you have no clue what your channel is about we are audiences what they like why would a company be interested in your audience

[04:07] what accompany ones is that your audience matches with their potential buyers this could be anything depending on what your channel is about if you promote a healthy lifestyle you can have a company that does something with

[04:20] Fitness but you can go all the way if you mean about a cucumber all the time you might want to work together with a company that sells cucumbers and this sounds like a ridiculous way of thinking but this is how far you could go getting

[04:34] creative in this kind of stuff is actually a good thing another bad thing if you want to meet new companies it's actually pretty helpful to go to events on gaming events for example they're companies that sell computers but also

[04:49] gaming equipment if your channel is all about health you might want to go to a health congress and then talk to businesses there and I know it's not that easy to go to an event because it might not be in your neighborhood and it

[05:02] might love money right to look into press passes because sometimes you can just go in for free because you are an influence on the other side offense might be closer than you think I talked that there were almost no

[05:14] events and villains just in here we go but right now I think I know 20 so it's got to be a little bit of a crazy year for me the reason why I say that you should go to offense is that if people see you in person they will remember you

[05:28] better so if you have a personal chat with somebody and talk about your send for it people are gonna remember you way better than when you sent them an email I've been to quite a lot of events myself and if I think back all

[05:41] the events I've been to were successful there was always somebody I talked to you that I did something really wrong when you go to these events it's important that you step up to people because they don't know that you want to

[05:53] because they don't know that you want to work with them until you tell me when you do walk up to them don't give them a business card immediately make sure to have a little chat with them tell about your channel tell about their company

[06:06] what you know about them what you think is important your values are and everything like that before you give them a business card the business card you only give while you're done with the conversation you're gonna walk

[06:18] business card and here's my contact information don't earlier and give it in the star Bureau I'll take you seriously and they will be just thinking do you using us and you want sponsorships to be mutual

[06:33] I know torch people Amsterdam is scanning clothes and a lot of you might still have a lot of questions about twitchcon what you should do what you should bring and everything like that no worries I got you covered I get a video

[06:45] about 20 tips for twitchcon right above for the card and because twitchcon is coming to the Netherlands now that's place where I live I was wondering if you guys were interested in a video about twitchcon in the Netherlands what

[06:57] you should do in the Netherlands specifically the video I made is just about twitch gone but I was just curious if you guys wanted a video about like their lands and what you should be looking out for go back to the question

[07:10] of this video how do companies reach me they can if you just leave your contact information everywhere and you could also just reach them don't just always wait until you got asked for something present yourself now you've learned

[07:24] about working to get a read companies but I also have a video about working together in streamers here's my video about collaborations and I'll see you there [Music]
