Find paid sponsorships, not just affiliate links

For creators who want flat-fee deals rather than commission.

Many "sponsors" in a creator's description are affiliate programs that only pay per sale. To find brands that pay a flat fee, look for paid-promotion disclosures and dedicated reads, not just discount codes. DiscoverSponsors labels every deal as a paid integration or an affiliate mention and lets you filter to paid deals only.

How to do it in DiscoverSponsors

  1. Filter to paid deals

    Turn on the paid-only filter in sponsor search to hide affiliate-only brands.

  2. Check the disclosure

    Open the sponsored video to see how the brand was presented: a dedicated read, a paid-promotion flag or a code in the description.

  3. Find brands that pay at your size

    Use the channel-size filter so the paid deals you see are with channels near yours.

  4. Price the deal

    Use the rate calculator to get a typical range for your views before you name a price.

Questions creators ask

What is the difference between a sponsorship and an affiliate deal?

A sponsorship pays a fee for the placement, whether or not viewers buy. An affiliate deal pays a commission on sales from your link or code. Some deals combine both.

How do you decide whether a deal is paid?

We look at the video's paid-promotion flag, disclosure wording and how the brand is presented. Deals with only a discount code or referral link and no disclosure are labeled affiliate.

Can affiliate brands become paid sponsors?

Often, yes. A brand that already works with creators through affiliate links is a warm lead for a paid integration once you can show results.
