Hello fellow creators, getting a sponsorship is NOT as tough as it sounds. Here I am listing all the sponsorships I can find along with information on those particular sponsorships. Important: Ensure your audience always knows that they are using an affiliate link and you will make some money from them using the product when selling to them. This will ensure you meet selling guidelines in the UK and US. A LOT of people do not do this, which is very bad. I also use affiliate links on my site to make money. Its not a bad thing, we’ve all got to eat, right? My one rule is: Never offer someone a bad product just to make money though. Keep that in mind.
It’s important to remember that it’s best to go with sponsorships that work with your Niche. So if you are doing Cybersecurity, a VPN will be more rewarding than a Gamer Chair, and for Gamers, a Gamer Drink will get you better results than a VPN. You will want to focus mainly on your Niche. I will be providing a rating system based on the quality of the product and how easy it is to sell, whilst taking into account the commission you’ll earn. Often with products, it’s better to sell 100 things for a low price and low commission than 1 product with high price and high commission. If a sponsor works with multiple niches, I will provide them in each niche I believe they will work well in to make your life easy. At the bottom of the article I will provide a Tutorial on how to make the most out of your affiliate links!

Pick Your Niche
Gaming
I am BIASED when it comes to Logitech. My Mouse is an M90, it hasn’t broken in years. I use a LOT of Logitech and it has NEVER let me down. They are the apogee of technology and whilst they’re not as COOL as other brands, they tend to be more reliable. This one won’t upset your fans, and who hasn’t heard of Logitech?
Battle Beaver is one of the leading providers of custom performance gaming equipment and custom video game controllers. They provide high quality equipment which has a great look and feel. With their strong marketing, a gamer content creator would do well to rely on Battle Beaver for it’s sleek and powerful marketing.
Glytch Energy is a very underused sponsor with some excellent reviews online. Customers love the taste and it’s clear a lot of love goes into it. Definitely a product worth recommending and due to it being less known in the circuit, it might give you the edge.
GameStop is a name we all know! With thousands of retailers over the globe, it is a good sponsor to have! The only reason it’s not getting 5 stars from me is that it appears a website may be necessary, and not everyone has one. If you have one though, it’s a 5 star!
eNgage Focus is an energy drink that claims to be 100% natural. That said, with exceptional reviews online, they are a powerful contender when it comes to gaming channels.
Advanced is popular for it’s flavour and they’ve been around for a while without too much controversy. With good reviews and a strong reputation, they have many advantages over a lot of other energy drinks on the market.
Freshen Up Energy has a good look and feel that lends itself to easier sales. With a plethora of decent reviews online and a nice commitment to keeping things relatively healthy, they are a solid pick.
With a series of excellent ratings, GFuel is a popular choice. As a well known brand it may already be popular with your audience, so it’s one well worth considering.
Dubby Energy has mixed reviews online, however their transparency is a good thing when it comes to the quality of their drinks and values per serving. They could be hard to sell due to the reviews.
Gamer Supps is a well known brand, however they have rather low ratings, so tread carefully. I’ve tried them, and the nootropic effect is not noticeable. This is a personal opinion and does not affect the rating.
Green Man Gaming is pretty awesome, I can’t deny. That said, the commissions are low and that’s the only reason they don’t get 4 stars.
Cyberart Chairs have some exceptional designs, however they have mixed reviews, and selling chairs is hard because of the investment level someone has to put in. Personal note: Gamer chairs suck. Anyone is better off with an office chair but it’s there for you if you want it. This opinion is NOT taken into account in my rating.
Growth Specialists
vidIQ is a useful tool for content creators, helping them to stand out and shine on YouTube. Highly recommended for people who teach audiences how to grow their channels.

Guide to Using Affiliate Links
Ground rule: ALWAYS let people know you are an affiliate or you are sponsored by the people you make money for. This will comply with UK and US guidelines. Let people know you are making a small commission on selling these products. It sounds counter-intuitive but honesty is the best policy, and obeying the law is the best policy.
🔗 What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals. When someone clicks your link and makes a purchase (or takes another qualifying action), you earn a commission at no extra cost to them. If you are recommending good products that are Niche related, you can make some nice income from them… If you do it right of course!
🔧 How to Use Affiliate Links (Platform by Platform)
1. YouTube
✅ Where to Place Affiliate Links:
Video Description: Place links after your main call to action – or CTA if you like that trendy marketing jargon! (e.g., “Subscribe”, “Watch next”).
Pinned Comment: Repeat your most important affiliate link with context. I like adding this as the THIRD link. You do not want to look like you’re a pushy sales person.
Community Tab Posts: Useful for new offers or exclusive deals. Ensure to let people know that you are making a commission. It sucks but it’s the law.
YouTube Shorts: Link in the description, with accompanying information.
✅ Best Practices:
Label clearly: “Affiliate link” or “As an Amazon Associate, I earn a percentage of the Credits you will expend for this Rotating Tubular SubAmbulator.”
Group them: Use a heading like: Support the Channel: You can have a disclaimer after your kit list, that’s not bad. Just do it directly after.
Do NOT use Link Shorteners. Sure it disguises the link… But it can get you flagged. A 301 redirect is a little better, but still bad.
🔥 Strategy Tip:
Review or demonstrate a product THEN place the affiliate link in the description. This is a way to get HOT leads. (ie, the best ones to sell to) they’re already interested in the product. That’s why it works! (I personally blame Philip Bloom for selling me £52,000 of the £76,000 I’ve spent on cameras and lenses. Damn you Philip Bloom! DAMN YOU!!!
Mention the link out loud in the video (e.g., “Link in the description!”)
2. Twitch
✅ Where to Place Affiliate Links:
Panels below the stream (great for gear, services, or sponsor buttons)
Chat (manually or with bot): Nightbot or StreamElements can drop your link every X minutes or on command (e.g., !mic for microphone affiliate)
About section in your profile. Works well for kit lists etc.
Stream overlays (visually show short links)
✅ Best Practices:
Stay transparent: Twitch users value honesty and authenticity.
Use commands like !setup or !gear to make it feel natural.
Don’t spam. Once every 15–20 mins is fine in chat.
🔥 Strategy Tip:
Use a “Streamer Setup” panel with affiliate links to your mic, camera, chair, software, etc.
Offer “deal of the week” shoutouts with trackable links.
3. Websites / Blogs (Like this one! The HORROR!)
✅ Where to Place Affiliate Links:
Product reviews
How-to guides or tutorials
Listicles (Top 5 X tools for Y) – (Don’t make your product tests ‘test-icles’, it is funny but it may get you flagged.)
Static pages (e.g., Resources, Tools I Use)
✅ Best Practices:
Do NOT put affiliate links on every page. I’m an SEO expert, and I know for a fact that’s gonna kill you. 1 page with links per 5 blogs or so will help. You can make micro blogs which you can use to link to those pages hinting at learning more, this will empower those pages in search engines and enable you to do marketing stuff on Facebook etc without any trouble.
🔥 Strategy Tip:
Create cornerstone pages (e.g., “Best AI Tools for Creators”) and drive traffic to them.
Add comparison tables and user-focused benefits instead of salesy blurbs.
⚖️ Legal & Ethical Stuff
Always disclose: “This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click and buy. It helps support the channel/site at no extra cost to you.“
Comply with FTC (USA), ASA (UK), and platform-specific rules
Don’t hide links or use deceptive redirects.
🚀 Bonus Tips:
✅ Track Your Links
Whilst you shouldn’t use them long term, use UTM parameters, affiliate dashboards, or link shorteners with analytics to track which platforms perform best.
✅ Funnel Effectively
Direct affiliate clicks through a landing page or funnel to warm people up and build trust.
Using affiliate links isn’t about throwing them everywhere. It’s about strategic placement, genuine value, and trust.
If your content is good, and your recommendations are honest, people will click. If you’d like a customised example with your niche or setup (like tech reviews, gaming gear, or sci-fi film tools), I can whip one up for you. Just leave a comment on one of my videos!
