Check your fit against the data above. Openai mostly buys Entertainment channels. If your channel matches that profile, you are pitching with the odds, not against them.
Reference their recent deals. A pitch that names the creators they sponsored last month reads like research, not spam. The full process is in how to get sponsors on YouTube.
Lead with your numbers: average views, audience niche, and a rate anchored to what similar deals are worth. Our rate calculator gives you a defensible starting range.
