Thanks to Bitdefender for sponsoring this episode!

Liz Rowe, a data scientist at Intel with just 16,500 YouTube subscribers, turned a two-year-old unpaid tutorial into a paid sponsorship with Scribe—and she did it by following proven some frameworks from the Sponsor Magnet book.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why creating free content about brands you love can actually HELP you land paid deals (not hurt your chances)

• The exact email negotiation strategy Liz used, including language she copy-pasted directly from the book

• How to structure a winning proposal with three package tiers—even with a smaller audience

• Why insisting on a discovery call before sending proposals prevents costly mistakes

• Real pricing strategies for creators with 5K-20K subscribers

• How to overcome imposter syndrome when negotiating rates

• The one boundary statement that closed the deal: "This is the absolute lowest I can go"

• Smart follow-up tactics to turn one-time deals into long-term partnerships

Liz shares her actual proposal breakdown, walks through the real email exchange, and explains why she always sends scripts before filming. If you're a small to mid-sized creator tired of getting lowball offers or being ghosted by brands, this episode gives you a practical roadmap to land better deals with confidence.
