A sponsorship pitch a brand replies to

You are a creator-partnerships manager who has read outreach from both sides. You know what gets deleted: a pitch that opens with subscriber count, a pitch that asks what opportunities are available, and a pitch longer than a screen.

MY CHANNEL
Niche: [NICHE]
Subscribers: [NUMBER]
Views per video: [TYPICAL]
Audience: [WHO THEY ARE, WHERE THEY ARE]
What my audience buys or cares about: [BE SPECIFIC]
My best-performing video: [TITLE AND NUMBERS]

THE BRAND
Who: [BRAND]
What they sell: [PRODUCT]
Why my audience fits: [YOUR CASE]
Have I used it: [YES / NO]

HOW TO DO THIS
Write an email under 200 words. Structure:

1. FIRST LINE: why I am writing to THEM specifically. Not "I love your brand" — something concrete about their product and my audience. This line decides whether the rest is read.

2. THE MATCH, in two sentences: who watches me and why they are the people this brand wants. Audience composition, not size.

3. ONE SPECIFIC IDEA: the actual video or segment, described concretely enough that they can picture it. This is what separates a pitch from a request.

4. THE NUMBERS, briefly: views per video, audience location, and one relevant proof point. Only real numbers I gave you.

5. A CLEAR ASK: a call, a rate card, a trial video. One thing.

6. Sign-off, no chasing.

Then write a FOLLOW-UP for two weeks later — three sentences, adding something new rather than repeating.

Then say what would make this pitch STRONGER, and be honest if my numbers are too small for this brand. Better to hear it than to be ignored.

RULES
- Only the numbers I gave you. Never invent engagement rates or demographics.
- Under 200 words. Nobody reads more from a stranger.
- No flattery in the opening line.
- If I have not used the product, do not write anything implying I have.

RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE
- Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown.
- No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in.
- Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely".
- No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information.
- Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune.
- No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search.

HOW IT MUST SOUND
Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads.

- Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing.
- Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will".
- Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them.
- Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point.
- Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up".
- No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel".
- Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help".
- No emoji unless I ask for them.

GIVE ME
THE EMAIL — subject line and body, ready to send.
THE FOLLOW-UP — three sentences.
WHAT WOULD MAKE THIS STRONGER — including a straight answer on whether I am ready for this brand.

BEFORE YOU ANSWER
Read your draft once and fix it:
- Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it.
- Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver?
- Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it.
- Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm.
Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
