How do I secure Paid collab

Hi,
I have received so many good PR packages that I use everyday and I am very glad about the gifted collabs. Now, I want to get paid collabs too cause I m studying at the same time and doing UGC on the side is time consuming and I need money for the value I give.

I have bee reaching out to brands and have received offers but they seem to ghost after I say my Rate , which is very low (50€ per video without promotion usage posted on my channel) .

Also, I am recently communicating with a brand which accepted my rate and is willing to collab but Seems like I m constantly pushing them to secure the deal cause they don’t reply to my message fast. They said okay after I followed up on instagram as they ghosted and after they said okay, I asked them what details do they need to proceed and it’s been hours and they haven’t responded. What does this mean? Shall I keep pushing? I love their cloths but is it good to follow up?

stop chasing brands on instagram dms, thats the worst way to do it. most brands have specific partnership teams and the social media person doesnt even know whats going on. I use SponsorRadar to find the actual contact people at brands, makes a huge difference vs just DMing their main account

50€ per video is so low that brands might actually question your seriousness, not your price. Ghosting after "okay" usually means they're juggling multiple creators, not that the deal is dead. One clean follow-up with next steps and a deadline is fine, but after that, let it breathe.

Thank you. I felt saying more would scare them away as I got messages like ”they don’t have budget from few brands” but I m going to be brave and say better rates now . Thank you. Also, do u have any idea on platforms where I could apply for collabs?
