Okay, so I needed to figure out who exactly is sponsoring Luke these days. It wasn’t just idle curiosity, mind you. Trying to get my own thing off the ground, and seeing who backs established folks like him gives you ideas, right? Or at least tells you who might have some cash to throw around.
Getting Started – The Obvious Stuff
First thing I did, pretty straightforward, was just go watch his recent videos. Like, the last ten or fifteen of them. Had to actually sit through them, paying attention. Not just having them on in the background. I grabbed a notepad – yeah, actual paper, sometimes it’s just easier – and got ready to jot stuff down.
You know how it is. You gotta listen for the callouts. “Big thanks to our sponsor…” or “This segment is brought to you by…”. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it’s a full-blown ad read right in the middle. I wrote down every single name I heard. Didn’t matter if I recognized them or not, just got the name down.
Digging a Little Deeper
Watching the video isn’t always enough. Loads of creators stick sponsor info in the description box below the video. So, after each video, I’d scroll down and hit that “show more” button. Scanned through all the text, looking for links or mentions. Found a couple more names that way, ones he maybe didn’t mention out loud in the video itself. Added them to my growing list.
I also checked the end screens or credits if he had any. Sometimes logos pop up there. It’s tedious, gotta admit. You feel like a detective hunting for clues that are hiding in plain sight.
Beyond the Videos
Then I thought, okay, where else would this info be? Checked out his main website. Clicked around a bit. Some folks have a dedicated “Partners” or “Sponsors” page. Luke didn’t seem to have an obvious one, but I spent a few minutes clicking through the main sections just in case. Didn’t find much there, honestly.
Next stop was his main social media profiles. Twitter, Instagram, whatever else he uses actively. Scrolled through the recent feed. Looking for posts tagged with #ad or #sponsored, or posts where he directly thanks a company. Found one or two more this way, mostly companies that fit his niche really well.
Putting the List Together
So now I had this raw list of names on my notepad. Some names appeared multiple times across different videos, which told me they were likely regular sponsors. Others only showed up once.
- I first went through and just cleaned up the list, making sure I spelled everything right.
- Then I put a little star next to the names that popped up frequently. Those are the key ones, probably the long-term deals.
- I grouped them roughly by type, like tech stuff, food/drink, software, you know. Just to get a better picture of who finds his audience valuable.
Basically, just organized the mess. It wasn’t super scientific, just common sense sorting.
The Result?
End of the day, I had a pretty decent list. Took me maybe an afternoon of watching videos and clicking around. It gives me a starting point. Now I know who’s active in his space. Doesn’t guarantee they’ll sponsor me, of course. That’s a whole different battle. But at least I’m not guessing randomly anymore. It’s something, right?
