FAQ
Is this the exact amount I should charge?
No. It is a structured estimate. Use the range as a negotiation starting point, then adjust for production complexity, timeline, conversion history, and brand value.
Why does niche affect the estimate?
Some niches have higher advertiser demand and customer value. Finance, B2B, and tech sponsorships often command higher rates than broad entertainment categories.
Why include usage rights and exclusivity?
Paid usage rights let a brand reuse your content in ads, and exclusivity limits your ability to work with competitors. Both create value for the brand and opportunity cost for the creator.
