Invoice brands for YouTube sponsorships, dedicated videos, and channel content services. Get paid on time with Tidybill.
A YouTube creator invoice documents fees charged to brands and companies for sponsored content, brand integrations, dedicated videos, and channel services. YouTube creators with established audiences monetise their channels through brand partnerships, sponsored segments, affiliate arrangements, and licensing their content. Unlike traditional media, YouTube sponsorship pricing is audience-driven — rates are typically calculated on a per-1,000-views basis (CPM) or as a flat fee based on channel size and engagement metrics. Invoicing for YouTube brand deals should clearly state the deliverable (dedicated video, mid-roll integration, product review), the agreed fee, the publication timeline, and any performance or exclusivity terms.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated YouTube Video (sponsorship) | £500 - £20,000+ | per video |
| YouTube Mid-Roll Integration (60 seconds) | £200 - £5,000 | per integration |
| YouTube Short (brand partnership) | £100 - £2,000 | per short |
| Exclusivity Fee (30-day category exclusivity) | 25-50% of base fee | surcharge |
| Usage Rights (social media repurposing) | £200 - £2,000 | per licence |
| Channel Consulting (per hour) | £60 - £150 | per hour |
Collect 50% upfront before beginning production on a sponsored video, with the balance due on publication or within 7 days of delivery. Include the publication date in the invoice. For agency deals, Net 30 is standard. Include an exclusivity clause on the invoice if agreed: state the category (e.g. no competing fitness supplement brands) and the duration. If the brand requests usage rights to your content for their own advertising, invoice this separately as a usage licence.
