Make your topic, viewers, and value easy to see. Post useful videos in one clear space. Add a work email and a short note about the work you can do. Show true proof. A brand should not have to guess who you help or how to reach you.
Inbound means a brand starts the talk. It may find your video, hear about you, or get your name from a partner. You cannot force this to happen. You can make it much easier for brands to see if you are a match and how to reach you.
Make the channel easy to understand
A brand may only look for a short time. Help the person answer four simple questions:
- Who watches this channel?
- What does the channel help them do?
- What kind of video could help a brand?
- How can the brand reach the creator?
Your channel name does not have to say all of this. Use your bio, About text, links, and recent videos to make the answer clear.
Clear does not mean your page should feel like an ad. Your page is still for your viewers. Only show brands that fit the work you want to make and the trust you want to keep.
Write a short "work with me" note
This note can go in your About text, a simple work page, or a media kit. Keep it short. Do not post a rate. The fee should fit all of the work.

Show proof that fits the work
A big follower count is not the only proof. Show the facts that help a brand see if you are a good match.
- Your normal views on recent videos
- How steady those views are
- Where your viewers live
- Topics that your viewers care about
- Past clicks, actions, or sales you can prove
- Past work you have the right to share
For normal views, use at least 10 recent videos that had time to grow. Remove clear one-off highs and lows. Then use the rest to find a fair average. The normal views tool can do this math.
Do not promise sales. Do not share a past brand's private data. If you show a result, name the time range and what the number means.
Add a public way to reach you
Use a work email that you check. Put it where a brand can find it on your public channel or work page. Test the page on a phone and a computer. Ask a friend to find the email without your help.
Do not use a form that asks for too much. A brand should be able to say who it is, what it may need, and how to reply.
Check if brands can find and reach you
This is not a grade. Mark what is true now. The open items are your next steps.
Can a good brand understand and reach you?
Nothing in this list is sent to Creators Agency.
Do not wait for brands to find you
A clear channel can help, but no one can promise when a brand will write. You can also find brands that fit and reach out with a useful idea. Use the guide to contacting brands and the brand tracker.
Talk about the fee after the work is clear
You do not need to post a public rate. The fee can change based on the video, due date, edits, where the brand may use your work, and whether you can work with similar brands. First learn what the brand needs. Then use the sponsorship rate calculator to check the math.
Frequently asked questions
How can brands find my YouTube channel?
Make your topic and viewers easy to understand. Post useful videos in that topic. Add a public work email and a short work note. A brand should not have to guess who you help or how to reach you.
Do I need a set number of subscribers for brands to find me?
No one number fits every channel or brand. A clear topic, steady views, a good match, past results, and trust can all matter. Show what is true for your channel.
Should I post my rates on my channel?
You do not need to post a rate. The fee can change based on the video, due date, edits, where the brand may use your work, and whether you can work with similar brands. First learn what the brand needs, then set a fee for all of the work.
Will this page make brands contact me?
No guide can promise that a brand will write to you. These steps make it easier to see what you do and how to reach you. You can also contact brands that may be a good match.
