What ExpressVPN looks for in a creator

Tech, true crime and general commentary channels and podcasts with a loyal, engaged audience. ExpressVPN cares more about a clean, natural read than raw subscriber count.

Lead with your average downloads or views and pitch one specific reason your audience travels, streams or cares about privacy, then ask about a flat sponsorship rate alongside the affiliate payout.

  2. Lead with how your audience matches their customers, not your follower count.
  3. Pitch one concrete idea with clear deliverables, not a vague 'let's collaborate'.
  4. Back it with one or two honest numbers from your best recent work.
  5. Keep it to a few short paragraphs and end with a single, easy ask.
  6. Send from a real address, double-check the name, and plan one friendly follow-up for about a week later.
