Find sponsors for a small YouTube channel

For creators with roughly 1K to 100K subscribers.

Start with brands that already pay channels your size. Plenty of sponsors work with creators under 50K subscribers, but most lists rank brands by how big their deals are, so small channels end up pitching companies that only buy from million-subscriber creators. Filter by the smallest channel a brand has sponsored, check the video it paid for, then pitch with that example.

How to do it in DiscoverSponsors

  1. Add your channel

    Paste your channel link. We read your niche, country and subscriber count from YouTube.

  2. See brands that sponsor your size

    Your matches are ranked country first, then channel size, then niche. A brand that sponsored three channels near your size ranks above one that only sponsors megastars.

  3. Check the proof

    Every deal links to the sponsored video, so you can see how the brand was promoted and whether it was a paid read or an affiliate link.

  4. Pitch and track it

    Draft a pitch from your channel stats and the brand's history, send it from your own inbox, and track replies in the outreach list.

Questions creators ask

How many subscribers do you need to get a YouTube sponsor?

There is no fixed minimum. Many brands in our index have sponsored channels with a few thousand subscribers. What matters more is a clear niche, steady views and an audience that fits the product.

Which brands sponsor small YouTube channels?

Usually app and software companies, direct-to-consumer brands and affiliate-led programs. The list on this page is built from sponsored videos, ranked by how many channels each brand sponsored.

Should a small channel accept affiliate deals?

They are easier to get, but they pay per sale, not per video. DiscoverSponsors labels every deal as a paid integration or an affiliate mention, so you can aim for brands that pay a flat fee at your size.
