I almost never comment on videos, but Hannah, your videos are some of the most real, authentic, and genuinely good content that makes us feel like we know you and can trust you! We can see how hard you work, keep it up!!!

"Currently Hannah is tearing apart her sweater to fit the microphone" Loved the bloopers by the Way! Great video!

I was always curious how sponsorships work so thank you for making this! Overall I really don't mind when KZfaqrs do sponsorships because I know they gotta make money but I hate when KZfaqrs make a whole dedicated ad video and pretend it's genuine content. An example is one of my favorite travel vloggers just uploaded a video today that should have been on a really interesting topic but the entire thing was about this piece of equipment she was advertising and barely even discussed what the video was supposed to be about. I think when creators think they're being sneaky about ads is what irritates me the most. Your viewers aren't dumb and would rather the transparency than feeling like we're getting the wool pulled over our eyes. I also prefer when ads are put at the end of videos instead of the beginning. I always watch videos through the end no matter what but I lose interest in the video if the first bit is an ad. Like make me feel like enduring the ad is worth the content of the video, y'know?

As a small-ish KZfaqr myself, I've definitely felt "out of the loop" with this stuff for a while and wondered if it's really worth looking into pursuing or not. Thanks for being so informative!

You included "I like beans", 10/10 would watch again.

I really appreciate it when people are honest about brands they use. It increases my trust for the creator and also the advertisement.

Another great video as usual😊 Gotta just say, Thank You for the videos you post! Whether they brighten my day or teach me something new, your videos are always entertaining to watch.

Always telling it like it is!!! Loving your work Hannah!

I actually really like how you don't try to be too well-prepared and polished (like finding out how things are spelled right before taking the video and other stuff) because that's what makes your videos realistic. The same goes to the bloopers. It's great that you don't cut the "bad" parts but let them stay. Having watched a ton of other youtubers, the authenticity in your videos is refreshing!

i think a couple of years ago people got really upset when youtubers took sponsorships calling them sellouts and fakes etc. nowadays everybody is all YAS GET THAT MONEY GORL and i'm here for that. we sit here and consume all of this free content that takes creators HOURS and DAYS and WEEKS sometimes to create. i've spent some time editing and filming a few of my own videos ( they are terrible bc i'm still learning and editing is hard (but fun!) ) so i feel ya on how time consuming it truly is! so i love when i see my fave youtubers getting sponsorships! it helps support the youtuber and the content. i love it 💗

Loved the video! I really want to persue this carreer in a near future, so it felt like a good hand of help and clarity about this job, thank you Hannah

I love the authentic approach you use to describe everything. It's the kind of thing that made me love KZfaq in the first place.

love these videos! keep up the great work Hannah!

"Currently Hannah is my favourite Japan based creator!" Been really enjoying your content recently Hannah, your cinematic scenes are always such a therapy and calming joy to watch. Always looking forward to your next one, keep it up but do take care Hannah!

Anyone else feel like getting themselves some Lipton Tea?

Advertising when done tastefully, with your audience in mind as you deliver the ad can be quite nice, depending on the sincerity and reputability of previous sponsorship that the KZfaqr has done in the past. For instance if you were sponsored by a company you didn't like/care about but wanted the money/product -(GFUEL & livestreamers, lookin' at you) - then it might not be taken as lightly in the future even if the new sponsorships are sincere and you do believe in them. You're getting really good at integrating sponsorship's and I find myself enjoying learning about options I didn't know about from your channel (like creating a website on squarespace). You have high quality content and have worked hard to build up your audience and reputation, so it wouldn't make sense to be reckless with who you give airtime on your channel to. Keep up the work, I like the direction your channel is going and your energy as an influencer is now. :)

Loved the video, thanks hannah! Enjoy your time back in brizzy!

Hi Hannah, Thanks for this video. I loveed the "Travel Flex" video. Looking forward to watching more content.

This is such a helpful and insightful video!! :D

Thanks Hannah! This is a good video! .....and yes....when you star it is a little frustrating but thanks to person like you we don't give up!

Interesting to see the inner-workings of the KZfaq sponsorship. Also, the bloopers at the end are too funny! :-)

Almost at that 200K 😻 I think it's really great that many people can use KZfaq as a free space to share nearly anything they produce. Since you spend so much time and energy to create so much videos and content, it's only fair that you get can sponsors or KZfaq ads in return (after doing paperworks and actually getting sponsors...). I don't mind watching the ads or sponsors since since it is still a free website, to support your informative or entertaining or art content. HOWEVER, I think it's annoying when some KZfaqrs only get tons of makeup or other things free from companies because then it's too forced and unnatural to hear them constantly mention the free products as a sponsored product. It's kinda cute (and interesting) when my middle school students say they want to be a KZfaqr bc they could get free stuff...hmm

Nice job. The bloopers were great. My thoughts on creators and advertising is that it's necessary...because it costs money to create. Sponsorships are the most annoying form of advertising because the creator has to talk about the product/service. That means there is no separation between the creator and the brand. It gets personal, so we land up hating both the brand and the creator. Whereas with a simple pre-roll ad we can focus our hate entirely on the brand. Also, the brand usually wants final cut on a sponsorship video, which encourages the creator to play it safe. So what happens is that the creator makes the overall video boring...and then makes the sponsorship talk extra boring...and then the audience starts clicking ahead on the video to skip over the sponsorship part. And then we miss parts of the video that we didn't intend to. The bad part about KZfaq and advertising is that the audience acquires the habit of clicking around the video to skip the ads and sponsorships. Or the audience uses ad blocker software. It's not good for the creator, audience, brand, or KZfaq. I think it's possible to seamlessly integrate brands into a video by letting the creator find a subtle solution that works best for their specific audience. But KZfaq and brands don't like subtlety or relinquishing control. They like to hit the audience over the head with an advertisement...like it was 1950. Creators know the audience best and respect them because their lives depend on it. KZfaq and brands neither respect the audience or creators. They respect the shareholders, banks, lawyers, accountants, and money. Everyone's just a number in an equation.

Awesome content! Haven't seen this topic presented from creator POV before. For me, very helpful! Thank you! Love your channel BTW! :)

you're such a good rolemodel for me about being independent and smart, love your channel

This was so interesting. I think about starting a channel but hearing how much work it is really puts into perspective how much more I need to do before I can pursue it. Thank you for helping out the small timers!

Such a useful video! Thanks so much

Love the honest outtakes 👍

Very informative! I’ve often wondered how it all works. And btw...love the outtakes...😂

I loved this video, I always wanted to know about sponsorships! thank you Hannah!

Super useful video! Thank you so much!

And they approved it! I love this!

Well I'm just starting out with KZfaq and this was very helpful. Also if people are getting angry by someone promoting something when they watch their videos for free, they have a problem.

I totally want a cup of tea now

Thanks. nice scoop to this interesting aspect of a creature's life.

Great info! Keep up the good work

Informative video!

You help me in my presentation, thank you alot now we have many ideas ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great content. Thank you

Uploading just the sponsorship portion for the brand to review is SO smart! Why waste time uploading a 20 minute video to process when it could just be 2 minutes!

Thanks for this. I woke up to my first sponsorship email today and I accepted it. I feel like I may have jumped the gun, but it seemed like it would be fun especially being my first.

Hannah, you're the best

So close to 200k. Congrats!

this was super helpful, i’m really trying to grow my channel this year-thanks!

Very interesting. Great video.

very helpful! thanks

your hair looks like mint chocolate now, i love it

She is definitely One of the most direct & Intelligent youtubers I've come across in 10 years of my Youtubing experience.

Thank you!

3:05 ooh, I need to make myself some tea!

Hey, Hannah! Loved the video, especially the bloopers. 😁 I'm not a KZfaqr but found it very interesting. Do you watch Simon and Martina's KZfaq channel? I love their sponsored videos like the one on Kyoto and the salaryman video. Keep up the excellent work and happy holidays!

Thanks for this video! My favourite ads on KZfaq are always by Make. Art. Now - his video integrations are state of art 😊

love this channel

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZfaq channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,613 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

3 years too late but i now want a shirt that just says "SHHH" lol And hey dude. Work is work and driving and walking all day is annoying im sure no matter how amazing the location. Youre there to work, not have fun. It just happens that your job can be super fun. You're so humble 🤙 Great informative video!!!

this good video who just not want make a living but something on the side with out sacrifice. btw love that cup!

i just started a youtube channel and this video really gives me some ideas / info for the future. Thanks Hannah. For now, im just focusing on making content. Quite difficult, lol.

Super interesting, I love these topics. I think that, if watching our favourite creators for 5, 10, 15 seconds more while they mention a sponsor or product, is payment for high quality content, painstakingly put together for our pleasure, then we're getting off really, really cheap! A lot of 'consumers' are so spoiled by the endless streams of content, they easily forget where it comes from or are ignorant about what it requires to produce. Also: Vacuum cleaners - the KZfaqr's Kryptonite! :D

As someone who has watched his fair share of travel vlogs (especially Japanese ones) this cleared up a lot. It makes a lot of sense for one or two person channels. But I still can't quite figure how some channels with offices, plenty of staff and relatively modest view counts can make a living out of these kinds of deals.

DAMNIT! You got me again with the same clip! Thanks for this vid tho. Super helpful! For the most part sponsorships don’t bother me. What does bother me is when it becomes disingenuous, and the creator is taking any sponsorship they can for the money. Pepsi is better than Coke Viewer Engagement 👌

5:18 you got me 😔

I was always curious about the sponsorship on KZfaq, thanks for the info. What about the ads that interrupt your video at the middle and you have to wait to skip it, is that another kind or sponsor to make money or is KZfaq sending you crap?

11:24 same things happens when I post my stories, or file an issue on gits

Some products I don’t mind at all, others I can’t stand. I think it comes up to whether it’s naturally integrated or not. Like the ones that just go blah blah blah suddenly dinner time with hello fresh then back to day time.

The sponsorships don’t bother me. I kind like them because I learn about a product or a service I didn’t know about. I’ve have purchased a bunch of items this year from sponsorships I’ve seen on Instagram. Love your videos!

Can u do what's on ur camera bag vid. pls?

Watching this video, drinking Lipton tea with ginger slices to battle my sickness. And then you mentioned Lipton. Perfect timing I'd say :D

Hi, Do you have a travel guide for Japan in whole? I'm trying to plan a 30 day trip. Any help ?

Keep it up Hannah, i prefer to listen to your videos (bluetooth audio) than the radio these days. Hahah Love from Malaysia

love your hair :)

love the takeouts!! :-D

Cheers cool how do i create a dedicated video for a sponsor if the sponsor has a total different product then what my channel's is about? e.g. my channel is an aquarium channel but the sponsor is selling apps services, so should i do it either a dedicated video for the sponsor or integrated video? please advice thanks

I'm not sure how popular this would be or if you've done this before but I'd love to see what's in your camera bag, drones, go pros and what color profile you use etc. :)

What video editor do you use?

Do you know if I have to click the sponsored video IF a company offered me a discount for a review and install of a product? They did not give it to me for free. Or do I just need to disclose that in the video and that’s good enough?

Thank you for this video. I think I can improve my channel too. What can I do to help spread your videos and channel? Tweeting it? Think I will lol. My opinion about sponsors with channels, it doesn’t bother me. If the sponsors help you and make more great content, I don’t see a problem. I know my sponsors aren’t big, but they help me when they can. Some way more than others 😂 anyways. I like that effect you did with switching to the typing and being the same with what you were saying. Was right before the square space sponsorship plug in.

Please anyone can tell me what is scr file? My sponsors have send me some kind of scr file but I can not access it. Can Please someone guide me what to do, how to open it. Thank you.

Very informative

I don't really have a problem with sponsorship videos, I just get more irritated if a video has way too many ads stuck in there. You integrate sponsorships so honestly I love it.

Best sponsorship video in the planet.

hey, i just got monitise, my question is, do we have to tell youtube that the content is sponsored? What if we click content is sponsored, what does it effect the monitise or there will be restrictions?

How many times did you accidentally spill your fake tea in frustration? :p The things I love about creators and sponsorship is when they are honest about why they are doing it and try to keep it short and sweet and interesting as well. The ones I hate are where they just pop an ad in without warning as if it is part of the content or just pretend that it is a product that they use/play etc when truthfully until now they have never expressed interest in anything remotely like that. Adverts help my favourite content creators continue to make fantastic content and I'm happy to support them. Just don't try and be sly with the advert as that will lose them a sub. As always cheers for the content. Hope you have a nice cool Xmas, unless you are coming back to Brissy... then suffer through the heat with the rest of us. :p

Where do accept payment through ? PayPal or ???

I said things before 6 years ago to get fast food restaurants to sell sweet tea..... They only had soft drinks water and coffee before

What was that noise at 10:01?

Thanks for this video I hope one day I can get big enough to get a sponsorship!!

You are the hero we don't deserve.

I feel like SquareSpace, Honey, ExpressVPN and others like that don't make me think negatively about the person. They're totally fine. BUT, the mobile game sponsors are super annoying because I feel like they're product is a lot more preditory than Honey, ect. Thanks for the great content!

I like these videos very much. A fascinating insight into Youtubing. I mostly don't mind my favourite KZfaqrs doing sponsored content. You've got to earn a living to keep making the content after all. I suppose that someday the content will eat itself though 🤣 Love your work Hannah. Keep doing what you do so well 😀 This comment is not sponsored. All opinions expressed in this comment are my own however I am willing to express an any other opinion for a small fee... or a t-shirt 😉😂

Nice to see that you're aware of how annoying ads are. But you manage to do it unobtrusively and with humor that minimizes rejection. Although since I'm your follower, I can be biased. ;)

I love Matt D'Avella. He never used sponsorships or ads but recently things changed and I respect that. Like get your coin. He works hard for it. What I just dislike is when the youtuber keeps on pushing the product in your face. "I get that you love it but I am not interested." (just to clarify other youtubers, not Matt )

Great input for myself, a KZfaq up and comer. Also, your bloopers at the end represents me on each and every one of my videos. Blah...

What agency do you work with?

I don’t think that you have given as long as and detailed side of your KZfaq channel’s business side. This was very informative. Thank you. The blooper ending was funny. Aloha. I do have a question should a certain company want to sponsor your travels are there places that you much rather not go to?.

You look so cute in that bangs! Also that lip shade is lit 💋🔥

When did you start filming? Any tips for learning how to get the best shots and camera techniques? Would love to hear!

I was wondering about this too. But it’s hard starting out to grow your channel.

Me: Gotta take notes. Also me: 6:40 😂

Love the out takes Hannah. I watch you, Sorelle & Matt Deavella. I don't mind mind the ad sponsorship as you need to make a living too, right. Motchi doesn't buy it's self. :)

Is there a chance you could make video on living and working in Tokyo/Japan vs. Singapore? I've been to both places, but it was only one week tourist visit. And I've read a lot of crisis in Japan since depression in 1995. Is it still visible in some parts of Japan?
