Looking to put yourself out there to secure a brand deal? Has a brand approached you looking to build a relationship? Either way, there are some important things that every creator needs to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube Brand Partnership Deals are a Big&#8230; Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As your YouTube presence grows, so will your access to YouTube brand partnership deals. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlabs.com\/solutions\/content-creators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BENlabs Creator Community<\/a> can help get you on brand&#8217;s radars earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that a partnership is a give-and-take. Authenticity is the key for good YouTube brand partnership deals. That means alignment around not just audience but mission, and values too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good deal benefits all involved; it&#8217;s not just about giving a brand access to your audience, it should benefit you as well by supplementing your income. The ideal YouTube brand partnership deal gives creators resources to support fresh new content, meaning audiences win too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But good things don\u2019t often come easy; problems can arise in YouTube brand partnership deals. It\u2019s important for creators to be mindful of who they partner with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creators and brands needs to match on values, not just on audience. Creators deserve both brand support and fair compensation. A good YouTube brand partnership deal doesn&#8217;t just further the brand&#8217;s goals, it also respects the creator&#8217;s craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider these three questions and you increase your chances of finding the right YouTube brand partnership deal for you, and you avoid potentially harmful partnerships:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-brand-partnership-deals-001-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube brand partnership deals: A content creator shares a product, holding a brown box with eco-friendly packing materials.

Do you already love their products? Do you support their mission? If it&#8217;s an easy yes, that&#8217;s great. If the answer is no, it&#8217;s probably not the right YouTube brand partnership deal for you. Repping a brand you don&#8217;t believe in will be inauthentic and jeopardizes not just your reputation but the brand&#8217;s reputation too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No body wants that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, technology company and smartphone maker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/gal-gadot-says-she-didnt-cheat-on-huawei-mate-10-pro-with-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Huawei partnered with Gal Gadot<\/a> for the release of one of their phones in 2018. But when the actress promoted the new device, Twitter snitched and revealed that the tweet actually came from an iPhone. The result was bad press for both parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrum.com\/news\/2018\/09\/02\/influencer-featured-ridiculous-listerine-ad-condemns-nasty-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scarlett London was under fire<\/a> while repping Listerine. She shared a heavily staged promotional photo of her morning, with tortillas posing as pancakes, and a bottle of Listerine in the background. Criticism around the lack of authenticity in the post and the nature of reality vs. the sanitized social feed was fair. The vitriolic pile-on, including death threats against the influencer, was not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are extreme examples but they illustrate the larger point. Taking YouTube brand partnership deals that reflect your interest and experience is the key to authenticity. Authenticity is the key to great content where everyone wins; brand, creator, and audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"812\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Brand-Partnership-Deals-Scarlett-London.png\" alt=\"YouTube brand partnership deals: image shows influencer @scarlettlondon sitting on a bed in pink PJs, holding a coffee in a heavily staged Instagram photo. \" class=\"wp-image-8599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Brand-Partnership-Deals-Scarlett-London.png 812w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Brand-Partnership-Deals-Scarlett-London-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Brand-Partnership-Deals-Scarlett-London-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Brand-Partnership-Deals-Scarlett-London-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does the Brand Take Creator Safety Seriously?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1145\/3491102.3501879\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">recent study<\/a>, 95% of creators reported experiencing hate or harassment at one point in their career. This kind of negativity that is, unfortunately, par for the course. Not everyone is going to love your content, not everyone is going to appreciate you monetizing your content with YouTube brand partnership deals.  Of that 95%, only half felt that they had appropriate resources to deal with the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creators, especially those who are new to brand collaborations, deserve to have the support of their partners to alleviate the burden of negative comments and help guide them through this new stage of their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/news\/youtube-launches-new-creator-safety-center-to-help-creators-manage-unwant\/628205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YouTube launched<\/a> its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/creators\/safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Creator Safety Center<\/a>, it did so to monitor and address hateful comments and harassment. That&#8217;s great, but things are bound to slip through the cracks. A trustworthy brand keeps a close eye on paid content from their creators and is quick to step in to remove comments or offer support if things take a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before content is posted, brands should be working with creators to align on content and ensure that the content being shared isn\u2019t something that could get creators in trouble. Floyd Mayweather was hit with a <a href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/60288\/floyd-mayweather-backed-centra-ico-founder-gets-8-years-in-prison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">$300,000 fine<\/a> after promoting a crypto company that ended up being a scam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point is, you should never post anything you\u2019re uncomfortable with, and a good brand partner won&#8217;t ask you to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do the research: how does a brand treat creators it engages for YouTube brand partnership deals? How have their brand partnership deals ended in the past? Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will You Be Compensated Fairly for a YouTube Brand Partnership Deal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Audience size is the biggest determining factor in creator compensation for any YouTube brand partnership deal. All creators \u2014 whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlabs.com\/resources\/types-of-influencers#nano\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">nano<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlabs.com\/resources\/types-of-influencers#micro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">micro<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlabs.com\/resources\/types-of-influencers#mega\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">mega<\/a> \u2014 deserve fair compensation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some creators may be content with getting free product but more likely, creators are unsure of how to ask for more. Even if you have a small niche following, the value you offer to a brand looking to engage with that audience has value and you deserve fair compensation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to entering negotiations, have a clear idea of what you would like to get out of the deal. Start by thinking strategically about your rate. Stay up to date on shifting trends by connecting with creator peers in communities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NewTubers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">r\/NewTubers<\/a> on Reddit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider 2% to 10% of your total following as a range for your base rate. For example, if you have 50,000 followers, 2% would make your base rate $1,000). From there, you can make adjustments that fit each deal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-brand-partnership-deals-002-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube brand partnership deals: A hand holds 16 US $100 bills, fanned out over a white background.
