You've built something real. Now let's get you rewarded for it.
You know how much goes into a channel: the filming, the editing, the showing up week after week, building real trust with people who actually watch. And yet the money side is a constant grind, chasing brands who never reply, taking deals that undervalue you, or waiting on an algorithm to decide your worth. We think that's backwards. ZOMZEY flips it: brands come to the platform looking for video Influencers, post real paid opportunities, and you simply pitch for the ones that feel right. No cold outreach, no being ghosted, no settling for less than you're worth. Just paid work, with brands who actually want what you do.
How it works for youtubers
It’s refreshingly simple. Browse the opportunities brands have posted, the ones looking for exactly the kind of videos you make. Found one that fits? Send your pitch, tell them why you’re perfect for it, and name your price. If they choose you, you create what you do best, and you get paid securely through the platform. You’re in the driving seat the whole way: you choose what to pitch for, you set your rate, and you only ever work on what feels right for you and your audience.
What makes ZOMZEY different
You’re never pitching into the dark. Every opportunity on ZOMZEY is from a verified brand, and the money is held safely by ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you start, so you know the job is real and funded the moment you take it on. No chasing invoices, no ghosting, no doing the work and hoping. And if anything ever goes wrong, our dispute cover means you’re never on your own. We built this so Influencers get treated the way they deserve.

YouTube brand deals: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for YouTube brand deals?
Yes. Joining is free, browsing and pitching are free, and commission is only taken when a paid deal completes. Influencer Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure. Nothing is charged for being found or for sending an offer, which is all it costs to start YouTube brand deals on ZOMZEY.
How do YouTube brand deals get paid?
The brand funds the deal under Protected Payments before you film. You publish the agreed integration, dedicated video or Short, upload evidence of the live video with its label, and the payment is released to your payout method once the brand approves it within the review window. No invoices, no chasing, and the written agreement on the deal page settles what was promised.
Do YouTube brand deals need an ad label?
Yes. A paid or gifted video is an advert in the UK, so say so in the video at the point the sponsorship starts, in the title or description, and use the platform’s paid promotion disclosure as well rather than instead. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains the labels that count.
What should I charge for YouTube brand deals?
Start from the free Influencer Pricing Calculator, which prices a dedicated video well above an integration or a mention and a Short below both, then adjust for usage rights, exclusivity, production and how long the video stays live. Put your starting prices on a rate card so brands can book YouTube brand deals with you quickly.
What evidence do I upload for YouTube brand deals?
The link to the live video, a timestamp for the integration, a dated screenshot showing the disclosure, and the figures the offer promised, such as views, watch time or link clicks after the agreed period. Evidence lives on the deal page, so the brand approves against what you both agreed rather than from memory. Keep the same evidence habit for every one of your YouTube brand deals.
How do I win more YouTube brand deals?
Complete your profile with a main image, a country and your packages, connect your channel so your subscriber and engagement figures are validated, pitch only for opportunities that genuinely fit your channel, and deliver on time. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what brands compare when they shortlist channels for YouTube brand deals.
Do I need to register as self-employed for YouTube brand deals?
Income from sponsored videos is usually taxable, alongside ad revenue and memberships. GOV.UK explains when to register as self-employed and the trading allowance that covers small amounts; the ZOMZEY payout record gives you the figures you need.
What if a brand changes the brief after I accept?
Changes are agreed on the deal page and recorded next to the original terms, so nothing changes until you both say so. If the new ask is more work, quote for it before you agree; YouTube brand deals stay fair when the record is kept in one place.
What should the agreement for YouTube brand deals cover?
The deliverable and its length, the publish date, how long the video stays live, where the brand link or code goes, the key messages and the claims you will not make, usage rights if the brand wants to reuse the clip, any exclusivity and how long it lasts, the review process for a cut before publication, and the fee with its payment terms.
On ZOMZEY all of that sits on the deal page as the written agreement, the fee is funded before you film, and any change is recorded next to the original terms, so the YouTube brand deals you accept are settled in writing before the camera is on. Keep the agreed label in the deal too, so neither side forgets it when the video goes out.
In short, YouTube brand deals work when the brief fits your channel and the payment is protected. ZOMZEY brings the brands to you, records the deal and holds the money until you have delivered. Most creators start YouTube brand deals with one integration and build from the first review.
