Sponsorships & Collaborations

Contact: admin@hitechlife.tv

I accept sponsorships selectively. The channel is built on practical, repeatable results and (most importantly) audience trust. So any paid partnership has to make sense first and foremost for my core audience.

What I will do

• Sponsorship integrations inside a regular video, 30-60 seconds in length, clearly disclosed in the video and description.
• Full video reviews where I can evaluate a product in real-world usage (smart home, energy, cameras, networking, and related tooling) from unboxing to final operation. Length could be 5-7 minutes to over 10 minutes depending on the product.
• Longer-term relationships when there’s a clear viewer benefit (e.g., ongoing integrations, firmware improvements, or measurable performance testing).

What I won’t do (non-negotiable)

• No “media assets only” reviews. I will not publish video reviews based solely on a vendor's supplied product images, videos, and descriptions.
• No “read-the-script” product introductions. I don’t publish content that exists mainly to recite a company's product description.
• No creative control for sponsors. Sponsors do not get any approval over scripting, thumbnails, titles, conclusions, edits, or the final cut. Inputs will always be considered, but none are guaranteed.
• No revenue‑share arrangements that would bias coverage. I avoid arrangements that create a conflict of interest for my coverage. I do earn some income from affiliate programs (like Amazon) but these are one-time payments, not ongoing arrangements.

Policy for review equipment (important)

Equipment provided for testing, review, or integration is considered a one-way shipment and will not be returned unless a specific return or loan arrangement is explicitly agreed upon in advance. Testing often involves permanent installation, extended runtime, and real-world usage scenarios that make post-review returns impractical and adds significant business overhead to our channel.

Requests for return shipping, loan terms, or special handling must be raised during initial discussions and agreed to prior to shipment.

I prefer to keep sponsorship pricing straightforward, predictable, and aligned with how brands actually evaluate media.

Pricing for a 30-second custom ad integration is anchored to the channel’s recent CPM as a reference point, with an additional premium applied for host-read, in-content integrations. Unlike traditional ads, integrations provide guaranteed placement without competing in an ad auction, and are positioned at a moment optimized for relevance and viewer attention rather than arbitrary ad slots.

Pricing for a full video review (5-10 minutes to length) is negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Pricing is based off of an expected view range for the video during its initial publication period. This approach balances risk for both parties: sponsors avoid speculative lifetime pricing, while integrations remain in the video long-term and continue to generate additional exposure beyond the priced scope.

Every sponsored segment is always disclosed, and I’ll always separate what a company claims from what I can verify with my own use of the product. If something doesn’t work, or doesn't work reliably, I will end up saying so. And if it improves after updates, I’ll say that too in a pinned comment.
