Make a living from
what you create.

Why we're building it

We like making money. We like helping you make it, too. Your ideas, research and craft create something valuable. You deserve to get paid for it.

Getting paid gives you more freedom to keep creating. Built by Olof, Monetize This explores the business behind YouTube: advertising, sponsors, affiliates, memberships and products. The directory starts with sponsorships: concrete examples you can explore for yourself.

From a video to a sponsorship example

We collect public video metadata and review descriptions, saved transcripts and selected disclosure passages. Each included relationship links back to its source video; some links open at the relevant moment.

AI agents assist with extraction and review. Full videos have not all been watched, and the collection has not been independently adjudicated by a human. You can inspect the original context through the video links.

Video sponsors

An explicit sponsorship or paid-partnership disclosure. This does not reveal the fee or private contract terms.

Series support and listed partners

Support for a project or ongoing channel relationship. Repeated credits are not counted as separate sponsored videos.

Other promotions

Product offers, contributions, wardrobe support and creator-owned businesses. These stay separate from sponsor totals.

How the radar's dollar amounts work

The amounts in the homepage radar are estimates in US dollars, not reported payments. The creator–brand pairings come from observed sponsorships; the amounts are calculated separately from the source video's saved view count.

We apply an assumed range of $15–$50 per 1,000 views, display its midpoint, and use a minimum of $100. Figures are rounded to two significant digits. For example, 100,000 views produces a displayed amount of $3,300.

These assumptions have not been calibrated against verified deal payments. Current views can differ from the views expected when a deal was signed, and actual fees depend on the audience, format, campaign terms and negotiation. The radar illustrates potential sponsorship value; it does not reveal what a brand paid. Creator income quotes elsewhere on the homepage are separate firsthand reports linked to their source videos.

A sample, not a complete history

The current collection includes 1,053 creators and 226 brand records, with metadata collected in October 2026. Coverage varies: some channels have a sample of recent uploads; others have selected sponsorship examples.

Dates refer to source-video publication. Views and subscribers are snapshots. A source-video count is not a deal count, and missing sponsorship evidence does not mean a creator has no sponsors.

What an example cannot tell you

We do not know private fees, campaign budgets, audience demographics or whether a brand is accepting applications. A past collaboration is a research lead, not a recommendation or a promise of a deal.
