$100?

A PCB Way sponsorship pays $100?

You show their logo, talk about them thank them praise them for $100? And it’s not even cash?

All those tech guys getting the PCB Way sponsorship really don’t know business do they.

That is absolutely insane.

Eh.

For a hobbyist it's pretty neat. I don't expect to be extracting a lot of value from hobbyist PCB designs.

That some PCB manufacturer is willing to do a small batch of my PCB design & I don't have to pay for it, just give them a shout out & write about it, that seems pretty neat.

For some small channels, $100 could be more than what youtube pays for their video.

And PCBway sponsors a lot of channels.

yes I'm sure they pay everyone the same amount no matter if it's a small blog or a big YouTube channel, everyone gets $100

can you elaborate a bit on this? How much do other companies pay for, say, a 30 second slot promoting their product?

I'm not in the monetization business yet, but I'm thinking about creating a YT channel and stream some DIY/hardware related things, so I'm genuinely curious on how much such sponsors really pay.
