- 1
Check that your channel fits
Perplexity sponsors channels of 1M+ subscribers most often, across business, entertainment, unknown, ai/software tools and more. If your size band says "Rarely" or "Not seen" above, pitch with a strong reason it fits your audience, or start with a brand that already sponsors channels like yours.

A detected sponsorship is not confirmation of fees or contract terms, and does not mean Perplexity is currently taking new creators.
