How to offer your game to YouTube / streamer

image

Hello to all! My name is Welsknight, I am a professional yutuber and stream partner Twitch. Having received a particularly bad letter from someone who offered me a sponsored video series (he wrote my name incorrectly and, more importantly, did not provide any information about his game), I decided that it would be useful to share my point of view on how to communicate with YouTube and streamers. So, without further ado ...

Tip 1: simplify my work!



Tip 2: Choose the right!



Addition: here I should explain, because this item caused discrepancies. By "ignore" I mean that the game will not be on my channel. This does not mean that I do not read the letter at all. It would be difficult to determine whether the game would interest me if I had not opened the letter at all.


Tip 3: Be professional!



Tip 4: Be patient and not overstate your expectations.



Addition: this paragraph also needs explanation. If I get the impression that I am the only recipient of the letter and at least a little work was invested in it, then most likely, in the case of a “no” answer, you will receive a respectful response with a refusal. If I get the impression that I received an email just because I got on the general YouTube list with a certain number of subscribers, or that your only difficulty was pressing “CTRL + V, Send,” then you will not receive an answer, just like I do not answer my local telecommunications company, throwing mailboxes with flyers about my new package of services.


Tip 5: the most important thing in the first place



That's all I can say for now. Add - these tips do not have a certain order and were recorded in the order of inventing. I hope I did not seem too cynical - this week the letters were especially bad. If you have any other questions (about communicating with YouTube / streamers or just about YouTube / streamers in general), then you can ask them .

Update: after the publication, I slept, and now I am ready to add a couple more things that came to mind after the first post.


Addition 2: I was asked to give examples, so here are some examples from recent unsuccessful letters with my explanations:

1) There is no information about the game, except for its name, and by name it seemed to me that it would not interest me. So failure.

2) Oh, flight simulator. I do not do simulator reviews. Also no.

3) And again, no information about the game, except for the download link. Renouncement.

4) The motto of my channel is “Family gaming. Everyday". He is on the banner of my channel, and this is the first thing that people see on my channel. I do not think that erotic occult horror is suitable for family viewing. Besides, I don't play the demo. Following.

5) There is no information about the game, only if I do not want to download a ZIP file from Google Docs. In addition, not the most professional letter in the world. Also miss.

6) This letter is already a big step forward; the author appeals to me as a “sciencey / buildery Youtuber” (youtube with reviews of scientific / building games). This tells me that before sending the letter, he at least studied the channel a little. I carefully considered the proposal, despite the grammatical errors in the letter. However, it did not have a key and, more importantly, there is no free space in my schedule right now, so I missed it too.
