Hi team; As you know, I am in the relatively small niche of Parrot keeping and I am looking to evolve from getting free products in exchange for dedicated Youtube videos or mentions to actually monetary compensation. I have had a few sponsorships in the past (from my own outreach) but I wonder what would be the best way to make the jump to requesting payment since I have been reaching out to brands directly to collaborate. Is it as simple as pitching the client and sending your rates?

Hey everyone – I’m excited to be part of the group! I run a YouTube channel called The African Grey Journal, where I share practical tips and strategies for proper parrot care. I also travel to parrot facilities around the world, spotlighting organizations that are making innovative strides in the bird community. 1.2 million views and counting! Lets go!
