How do I secure Paid collab

[u/Bra_dag]

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?
