How Creators Can Make Money with Collabs

There are dozens of ways for creators to earn more money with paid collabs, from sponsorships and brand deals, to monetizing exclusive brand content, and more.

Every creator is different, so the best way to implement paid collabs to monetize your audience depends on the size of your following, niche, and more.

It also depends on personal preference and what you enjoy doing. You want a monetization model that is sustainable, so you don't burn out. Feeling stuck on a neverending content treadmill (shall we call it a dreadmill?) is a path to misery.

Here are some example monetization models for collabs:

• Paid brand deals for branded content
• Long-term sponsorships
• Branded content for specific networks or events
• Newsletter sponsorships (for writers)
• And dozens of other opportunities

When starting out you might focus on just one method, but as you grow, you'll want to incorporate other monetization methods. Not only does this keep things interesting to reduce burnout, but it also diversifies your revenue streams so you're not just relying on one sponsor or social network.
