These are the three YouTube questions I get asked most frequently (with answers):
How do I find sponsors for my YouTube channel?
Go out and look for them. If your channel is getting less
than 100,000 views a month, you will need to do a production deal on a
day-rate. Film production companies charge around US$1,000-£1,000 per person
per day, depending on the size of the film. Over a million views a month and you
can start charging for audience too, in the price range $15-£50 per thousand
views. You already believe in your channel. Now get good at selling.
How do I get more views?
For audience, go to any of the big channels in your sector and
ask if you can do a collaboration with them. You film them at the same time as
they film you. You do an annotation to their channel -

you. That's the fastest free way to audience. It took us two years to get
to a million views a month. These days I think it would take us three or
four years, because there is so much more competition. PS. Read the whole of
http://www.youtube.com/yt/playbook/ - it's excellent. Do not use Virool or
anyone like that. YouTube will close you down.
