Negotiation Tips

1. Ask for more

Brands often have higher budgets than their initial offer. Start high and negotiate down if needed.

2. Factor in usage rights

If a brand wants to use your content in their ads or for extended periods, charge 50-100% more.

3. Consider exclusivity

If they want you to avoid competitors, that limits future deals. Price accordingly.

4. Get it in writing

Deliverables, timelines, payment terms, and revisions should be clearly documented.

Rate Factors to Consider

Engagement Matters More: A creator with 50K followers and 10% engagement is often worth more to brands than one with 500K followers and 1% engagement.

Niche Premium: Specialized niches (finance, tech, B2B) command higher rates because audiences are harder to reach and more valuable to advertisers.

Production Value: If you create high-quality content with professional editing, charge more. Brands often repurpose creator content for their own ads.

Audience Demographics: US/UK audiences typically command 2-3x higher rates than global audiences due to higher purchasing power and advertiser demand.

Rates are estimates based on industry averages and should be used as a starting point. Actual sponsorship rates vary based on niche, brand budgets, content quality, and negotiation skills. Some creators earn significantly more or less than these estimates.
