Work With Temporarily Offline

Thank you for considering Temporarily Offline for your campaign. This page outlines available collaboration formats, typical pricing, production options, content policies, licensing terms, and the information needed to prepare an accurate proposal.

Temporarily Offline creates practical videos for amateur-radio operators, electronics enthusiasts, makers, RV travelers, and technically curious viewers.

Collaborations are built around two things:

  1. Producing useful content for the audience

  2. Delivering meaningful exposure and reusable marketing value for the sponsor

Products required for testing or demonstration are normally supplied separately. A product is not considered payment unless that arrangement is specifically agreed upon in advance.

Series and Long-Term Sponsorships

Brands seeking regular exposure may sponsor:

  • A recurring video series

  • A defined number of videos per month

  • A project build or technical investigation

  • Event coverage

  • A newsletter section

  • A seasonal campaign

  • A product category

Long-term agreements can provide better continuity, repeated audience exposure, and more efficient production than isolated placements.

Pricing depends on frequency, duration, category, production requirements, and exclusivity.

Affiliate and Performance-Based Campaigns

Affiliate tracking, discount codes, and performance bonuses may be added to a paid campaign.

Affiliate commission is generally treated as additional performance compensation rather than a replacement for the production fee.

A hybrid arrangement may include:

  • Guaranteed production fee

  • Affiliate commission

  • Sales or lead milestones

  • Performance bonuses

  • Additional placements triggered by results

Performance-based arrangements must use reliable tracking and clearly defined attribution terms.

Content Usage and Licensing

Standard collaboration pricing covers publication on Temporarily Offline’s owned channels only.

It does not automatically include permission for the sponsor to download, edit, republish, advertise with, or otherwise reuse the content.

Additional licensing is available for:

  • Organic reposting on the sponsor’s social accounts

  • Use on the sponsor’s website

  • Email marketing

  • Retail or distributor listings

  • Amazon or other marketplace listings

  • Trade-show displays

  • Dealer presentations

  • Paid social advertising

  • YouTube or Google advertising

  • Connected television advertising

  • Internal sales or training use

Licensing rates depend on:

  • Where the content will be used

  • Whether the use is organic or paid

  • Length of the license

  • Geographic territory

  • Editing permissions

  • Whether my name, voice, image, or channel identity will be used

  • Expected advertising spend

Perpetual, unrestricted, or transferable usage rights are not included in standard pricing.

Paid Advertising and Creator Identity

Permission to publish content on Temporarily Offline does not include permission to run advertisements through my channel identity, likeness, name, voice, or social accounts.

Paid amplification, partnership advertising, allowlisting, or similar advertising access must be negotiated separately.

Exclusivity

Category or competitor exclusivity is available when appropriate.

Exclusivity is quoted separately based on:

  • Product category

  • Named competitors

  • Length of restriction

  • Restricted platforms

  • Geographic territory

  • Existing sponsor relationships

  • Expected lost opportunities

Broad or open-ended exclusivity is not included with normal sponsorship pricing.

Product and Review Policy

Products needed to create the content are supplied by the sponsor.

Receiving a product does not guarantee:

  • Positive coverage

  • A specific conclusion

  • Continued use after testing

  • A particular publication date unless contracted

  • Sales or conversion results

  • Exclusivity

  • Additional unpaid coverage

Sponsored content reflects my actual experience with the product. Factual corrections are welcome, but sponsors may not purchase a predetermined opinion.

Products may be retained, returned, given away, sold, recycled, or otherwise handled as agreed before the project begins. The sponsor is responsible for return shipping when a product must be returned.

Revisions and Approval

Standard sponsored projects include:

  • Review of sponsor names, links, product specifications, coupon codes, and factual claims

  • Correction of objective factual errors

  • One consolidated round of reasonable factual feedback when advance review is included

Editorial conclusions, testing results, personal opinions, and ordinary presentation choices are not subject to sponsor approval.

Reshoots, major script changes, additional versions, or changes requested after approval may require an additional production fee.

Scheduling and Deadlines

Publication dates depend on:

  • Product arrival

  • Testing requirements

  • Production complexity

  • Existing editorial schedule

  • Sponsor response time

  • Required approvals

  • Campaign deadlines

Rush production may be available for an additional fee.

Time-sensitive promotions should be arranged far enough in advance to allow proper testing, production, sponsor review, and scheduling.

Reporting

Post-campaign reporting may include available metrics such as:

  • Video views

  • Watch time

  • Audience retention

  • Link clicks

  • Community-post votes or engagement

  • Newsletter opens

  • Newsletter clicks

  • Affiliate conversions when tracking is available

Results vary by product, offer, audience fit, creative execution, price, availability, and campaign duration. Specific results are not guaranteed.

Disclosures

Sponsored content, free products, affiliate relationships, and other material connections are disclosed as required by applicable law and platform policies.

Sponsors may not require the concealment of a commercial relationship.
