How Sponsorship Rates Are Calculated
Understanding Influencer Pricing
Sponsorship rates vary significantly based on multiple factors. Our algorithm uses data from thousands of actual brand deals to provide accurate estimates. The base rate is calculated using a Cost Per Mille (CPM) model, which is then adjusted based on your specific metrics.
Key Factors in Sponsorship Pricing
Several elements impact how much you can charge for sponsorships:
Platform Differences
YouTube typically commands the highest rates due to longer viewer attention. Instagram and TikTok follow with competitive pricing. Blog sponsorships have unique pricing models based on domain authority and traffic.
Engagement Quality
Engagement rate is the most important metric after audience size. An account with 50,000 followers and 10% engagement often earns more than one with 100,000 followers at 3% engagement.
Niche Profitability
Finance, technology, and business niches command premium rates. Lifestyle, gaming, and beauty follow closely. Micro-niches with dedicated audiences often outperform broader categories.
Content Format Value
Dedicated content delivers the highest value. Integrated content in existing videos/posts follows. Stories and mentions have shorter lifespans and thus lower rates.
Negotiating Sponsorship Deals
Pricing Strategies for Content Creators
When negotiating with brands, consider these strategies:
- Start with our calculated rate as your baseline
- Bundle multiple posts/videos for better rates

Common Pricing Mistakes to Avoid
Many creators underprice their services. Avoid these pitfalls:
- Not accounting for the time required to create content
- Undervaluing your audience’s purchasing power
- Forgetting to charge for usage rights beyond the initial posting
- Discounting without getting something in return (longer contract, more content, etc.)
