When it comes to sponsors, you're probably going to get inundated with different offers for things that may not be a good fit for your channel. So keep in mind that you want to work with sponsors who your viewers want you to work with. Keep your viewer in mind at all times. Sometimes you may end up doing something just for a few bucks, and that's okay from time to time, but don't wear your sponsors or your viewers out with that. And then make sure you know your value, and that's a really tough thing to actually do versus just to say, but see if you can find ways to understand how much you should be worth. And the best way is to talk to other people in your space and find out what they're getting and be open about it. Be transparent. I've got quite a few people in my circle of friends who are also YouTubers, and we share a lot of our finances with each other so that we can help each other out and say, oh, I'm being underpaid here. So make sure you work with people that you want to work with. Don't be afraid to go after them if you need to. And then make sure you're valuing yourself properly and get that value from other people. At least let them help you and maybe even go higher.
