Sponsor the YouTube channels your buyers already watch.
Bytecast Media books 60 to 90 second sponsored segments on tech channels with 50,000 to 760,000 views a video. I find the channel, get the rate, handle the contract and the disclosure, and send you the report.

Brands already sponsoring the channels on my list. Not Bytecast clients. They show who already buys here.
102 channels, checked one by one.
Every channel on the list was opened, its recent videos counted and its existing sponsors noted before anyone got an email. Real views, real sponsor history, and the creator's country on every row.
Why the big channels aren't the only option.
AI and software companies already pay for YouTube sponsorships, mostly on the same handful of huge channels. Hundreds of channels with 50,000 to 760,000 views a video reach the same buyers, and most of them have nobody bringing them the next sponsor. That is the gap I work in.
Here is what I check before a channel makes your shortlist.
- 01
Views, never subscribers
I use the average of the last 10 videos. A channel with 400,000 subscribers and 8,000 views a video is a dead channel.
- 02
Audience country, from the creator's own analytics
Confirmed before you sign. A US product on a channel whose viewers are mostly elsewhere is wasted money.
- 03
Sponsors already on the channel
It shows the creator takes sponsors, delivers, and knows the format. It also tells us who you'd be sitting next to.
- 04
The comments
Real questions and arguments from real people, not bots. If the comments are empty or fake, so is the audience.
- 05
Fit with your product
I don't put a database tool on a comedy channel because the numbers look good.
From a 20 minute call to a live video in 4 to 8 weeks.
That timeline is the industry norm for YouTube sponsorships, not a promise. Creators have their own schedules, and you get real dates once a channel is picked.
The call
What the product does, who buys it, what a good outcome looks like, your budget and any dates that matter.
The shortlist
Three to six channels that fit, with views, the creator's country and the sponsors they've already worked with.
The quote
One price for the video, in writing. You approve it, or we try the next channel.
The contract
Deliverable, dates, talking points, your approval of the sponsored segment, and the FTC disclosure. The creator keeps creative control of the rest of the video.
Live, then the report
Within 48 hours: the segment matches what you approved and your links work. At 7 and 30 days: views against the channel's usual, clicks on a tracked link, code uses, and my honest read on booking again.
One price per video. Nothing owed until a creator signs.
You get one all in price for the sponsored video, in writing, before you commit. There's no separate agency fee and no retainer. I'm paid out of that price.
- Nothing owed until a creator is signed. If the shortlist doesn't land, you owe nothing.
- How the money moves. You pay Bytecast against one invoice: 50% when the creator signs, 50% within 15 days after the approved video goes live. I pay the creator from that, so you never chase anyone for paperwork.
- Start small. One channel, one video, then decide whether to do more.
- No retainer. You pay per video, not per month.
I'm Ayhum Asfour. Bytecast Media is me.
I'm a marketing student at San José State University, graduating in May 2027, and I live in San Mateo, California. I hold the Google Analytics Certification. I started Bytecast Media in October 2026.
You'll always deal with me directly. I answer email within one business day, and I take calls on weekday afternoons, Pacific time. If I think a channel or a budget isn't a fit, I'll say so on the call.
Make videos about AI, coding or software? I'd like to bring you sponsors.
If your channel averages 50,000 or more views a video, here's the deal, and it's the same one every creator gets.
Email me your channel link- I only get paid if I get you a deal. I take a percentage of each deal I bring, and nothing otherwise.
- You approve every brand before anything is agreed.
- The video stays yours. Brands get a 60 to 90 second segment, not your script.
- I handle the chasing, the paperwork and the follow ups.
Questions brands ask before signing.
You're brand new. Why should I trust you with a budget?
You don't have to trust me yet. The structure protects you: nothing owed until a creator is signed, the full price in writing before you approve, and one video first. Everything on this page is checkable. The channel list exists, the vetting is written down, and I'm reachable at a real email on my own domain.
If I do a bad job on a $3,000 test, you've lost very little and I've lost a client I can't afford to lose.
Why not email the creator myself?
You can, and some brands do. What you get from me is the shortlist from 102 vetted channels instead of a guess, the rate negotiation, a contract with the disclosure and approval terms already in it, the follow ups when a creator goes quiet, and one person to call when something slips.
What's your fee?
Brands don't pay a separate fee. You pay one price per video, and I'm paid out of that. You'll have the exact price in writing before you approve anything.
Who owns the video? Can we run it as an ad?
The creator owns the video, and it lives on their channel. If you want to cut the segment into your own ads or post it on your channels, that's a usage rights license. Published estimates put it at roughly 20 to 50% on top of the creator's rate, sometimes more for long paid media runs, and it varies by creator. I quote it as its own line so you can decide.
Can we get exclusivity?
Usually, for a set period, and it costs extra because the creator is turning down other sponsors in your category. I'll tell you the price before you decide, and I'll tell you if I think it isn't worth it.
What do you not take?
Alcohol, gambling, and loans or credit products. I also won't promise a number of views. Nobody can, and a channel that does is one to avoid.
Can I see the contract before the call?
Yes. Email me and I'll send the agreement template so your team can read the terms before we talk.
Book a 20 minute call.
On Google Meet. We'll cover what you sell, who buys it, which channels on my list fit, what they charge, and whether this is worth your budget. If it isn't, I'll say so.
