Small win: a brand hired me for about a four-minute video. They didn't find me on YouTube.
Published it yesterday. About Four minutes
They came through a creator marketplace called aha creators.
Not affiliated, not paid to mention it.
Brands post a brief, creators put their rate in, the brand picks.
I never sent a pitch or built a media kit, I just have a profile there.
It didn't come from being big. It came from being listed somewhere brands were looking.
Why they picked me is a different question, and I'd guess it's this: my channel is unmistakably one thing. Raspberry Pi tutorials, nothing else.
On a marketplace a brand filters by niche, and a channel that's "tech stuff" is hard to match to a product.
A channel that's obviously about one topic is easy.
Mine is small, 1.2M lifetime views, never on camera, nothing viral and it still got picked.
New VIP Hour, this Friday. A bonus for VIP members, and some topics we can discuss: where to find editors, what to do when a brand emails you, what to charge, your first 1000 subs, Importance of Niching Down, the technical setup. No fixed agenda. What would you want covered? Drop it below and I can build the hour around the answers.
