hello freedom today I'd like to talk to you about writing a proper sponsorship letter people have been asking me for a very long time how to do this so here we go the very first thing that I tell anyone who wants to do this to do is to set up something on their Gmail called canned responses canned responses is an awesome tool that you can use for a lot of things especially if you receive and respond to a lot of emails but also if you're sending out a lot of emails you can use it as well so very first thing that we need to do is go need to go up to the gear here and we need to go into settings and here you can set up in labs just search for canned responses right there you can see I have it enabled now that we have canned responses enabled we can use them so when you're writing a new email you'll notice a little box here you can go to canned responses and it will actually give you all of the different ones that you've set up you can either insert you can save or delete here you'll see that I actually have one setup for a software review so go ahead and get rid of that all right so this is actually a very basic template that I use of course every time I customize it but as you can see it's very short it's very succinct it's just very assembly my name is Anthony Smith I run a YouTube channel and I link to the channel that focuses primarily on gaming gaming related content as well as software tutorials and reviews where I have around at the time that this was written it was 7000 subscribers that channel is now at about 10,000 and about two thousand daily views I'm contacting you because I would love to cover your program whatever it may be now that it's come out on Steam or whatever I would probably change that too if it were not a steam program I would love to know if you would be as so kind as to provide a review copy of program so that I compare and contrast it in review and also a second paragraph describing the kinds of things that I do and the kind of things I would love to do for them it's very simple the main thing about writing a letter like this is that you don't want to tell people your life story though it may be tempting to tell someone that you do videos after school or that your father just died two weeks ago or that you come from a bad neighborhood and that YouTube helps you stay out of trouble these are things that you definitely you know you want to talk about to your friends to your fans but they're not relevant to what the company wants from you and what you're offering to them here you'll actually see an older version of much the same letter that you just read except this is actually a follow-up email that I would tailor to whatever it is that I would send out so for instance the very first sentence is simply I recently attempted to contact you about reviewing your game I wanted to try again just in case I mistyped the address or the message was somehow lost in spam here's the thing these people who make these decisions about sponsoring you with products games review units whatever it is they get a lot of these respond of these requests the key to your success is to stand out amongst the crowd this is a letter that you would send about seven to ten days after your initial request if you send it say the following day and people do recognise you and they see that you're being pushy or overzealous they're going to dismiss you immediately however if they do remember you vaguely and maybe they just didn't get back to you this will actually bring you a lot of respect it's also important that I note here linking things is going to be a huge success to you so for instance here I linked the YouTube channel that I'm talking about and here I actually linked to social blade so that they can see that I'm not laughing about my numbers when you write a letter like this it's going to be selling yourself you also want to make sure that you read over everything if you customized something between sends make sure that it's spell checked for instance here you'll see that the word let's play it's not necessarily a word that's recognized by dictionaries but it is properly spelled you want to make sure that you have everything set and set properly otherwise you risk making a bad first impression funny story I actually sent one of these letters to Mojang but didn't customize it for the game or what I was asking for and Lydia Winters emailed me back and basically said yeah next time you might want to maybe fill in what it is you want and that was kind of a learning experience for me in the description below you'll find a copy of my letter now this is the same basic letter that I've been using since around 400 subscribers or so I will leave a copy of this so you can copy and paste it rework it into something that fits your channel and hopefully you can have the same success that I have had over the years there's actually a second method that you can use and it involves trading services and favors so for instance let me pull up a very very old email so here you'll see a support ticket I couldn't actually find an email for this particular company so I decided I would open a ticket with their support and I simply told them that I was a YouTube commentator looking to do more tutorials and looking for a small-scale sponsor to create some tutorials for their minecraft servers and and the like and believe it or not had my very small size at the time which was about maybe eight hundred or a thousand subscribers uh because I was doing tutorials for them on my channel they gave me a server that I could play with play on collaborate on and work with this is a prime example of how you if you know your skill set can help other people help you and as always don't forget to Like subscribe comments please because my self-worth is directly tied to the number of subscriptions likes and comments I receive on this channel
