Hello?
Good morning everyone!
I'd like to know how to get a sponsorship?

Getting a sponsorship isn't about asking for money; it's about offering value. Follow these steps:

Phase 1: Build Your Value (Prerequisites)
Define Your Niche: What are you an expert in? (e.g., fitness, coding, art, business).

Build an Audience: Create content (social media, blog, podcast, YouTube, events) that attracts a specific, engaged group of people. You need an audience before you can monetize it.

Gather Your Stats: Know your numbers—follower count, engagement rate, website traffic, demographic data. Sponsors need to see this.

Phase 2: Find and Pitch Sponsors
Identify Potential Sponsors:

Look for companies whose products or services naturally align with your niche and audience.

Start with brands you already use and love.

Look at who is already sponsoring similar creators in your field.

Create a Professional Media Kit: This is your one-page resume. It must include:

About you/your channel.

Your audience demographics (age, location, interests).

Your key statistics (followers, views, etc.).

Past sponsorship examples (if any).

Testimonials (if any).

Your clear sponsorship offerings (e.g., Instagram post: $X, YouTube video integration: $Y, Newsletter feature: $Z).

Craft Your Pitch & Reach Out:

Do NOT lead with "Please sponsor me."

Do start with a genuine compliment about their product.

Briefly introduce yourself and your audience.

Explain why your audience is a perfect match for their customers.

Propose 1-2 specific collaboration ideas that provide value to them.

Attach your media kit.

Keep it concise and professional.

Phase 3: Deliver and Build Relationships
Be Professional: If you get a deal, have a simple contract, meet your deadlines, and create high-quality work.

Show Results: Provide the sponsor with a report on the campaign's performance (views, engagement, etc.).

Build Long-Term Relationships: A happy sponsor is much more likely to work with you again than a new one is to find you.

Where to Find Sponsorship Opportunities
Directly: Email the brands you've identified.

Platforms:

YouTube: Apply for the YouTube Partner Program to get access to their sponsorship marketplace.

Podcasting: Use platforms like Anchor or Buzzsprout (which have built-in ad markets).

General Creator Platforms: Sites like Billo or Fiverr have brands looking for creators.

Networking: Attend industry events (online or in-person).

Start by focusing on Phase 1. The stronger your foundation, the easier it will be to get "yes" from sponsors.

Does anyone know how to receive donations from Github?

[BrahimBoussada]

Hello, to receive donations via GitHub, make sure your account is verified (email + 2FA) and you’ve got at least one public repo you’re working on. Then apply at github.com/sponsors and fill some personal information. Once approved, set up payouts via Stripe (available in 40+ countries) or PayPal (US only) in your Sponsors dashboard, and provide tax/ID verification. You can add .github/FUNDING.yml file to your repository or profile with your GitHub username and optional external platforms (e.g., Patreon, PayPal) to display a “Sponsor” button. Supporters can then donate one-time or recurring amounts starting at $2, with GitHub charging 0% fees on the first $10K earned, then 5%. Funds are paid out monthly via your chosen processor once you earn $25 or more. I hope this helps.

Look? I don't want to ask for much! Just enough to support myself. I don't know how to ask, because one day I posted here and was immediately banned from my posts. Humbly! Could you help me?

Hello?
I'm Brazilian and I'm using a translator. The translator translated it wrong! They translated "They immediately deleted my post." as "They immediately banned my post.". Sorry!
Humbly! Can you help me?
