Sponsors are cool but they require you to do things to bring exposure to the brand and you usually end up doing way more for them then they do for you.
i don’t think people realize how little an insta or youtube post does for a company, even big ass pages that have a good ad it’s getting skipped 9/10 times, or with like a Wix filter people are gonna see the price and get something else anyway
