It may seem trivial to others but today I was accepted to be an affiliate for Razer.
I know some will roll their eyes and say "Its just an affiliate account everyone gets those" or "it's not a sponsorship " but I feel like this was an huge accomplishment for me and I could not be happier.
About 4 months after I started Got Yer Back Gaming I felt like I had to have an affiliate account because that's what all the YouTube gaming channels do but I did not want to align myself with just any old company I wanted to promote a product or a service that I actually use. One that I would be proud to stand by and say I use this and I recommend it. I applied to several companies that I felt would be a good fit for my channel and naively I thought they would look at my content and immediately email me back asking "Where have you been? We've been looking for a channel like yours for years.".
Lol Those emails never came.
I gave up on the idea and just focused on my channel until several days ago I was shopping for a new Kraken headset from the Razer website and I saw a small link at the bottom - affiliate application. On a whim I went ahead and filled it out not really expecting any response back but to my surprise 2 days later I received and email that I was accepted. YES! I honestly could not believe it and the reason why? If you could see my desk right now I'm typing on a Razer MMO keyboard that I bought about a year ago, I use a 2 year old Razer Naga 12 button mouse that I absolutely love, sitting beside my Xbox One is a Kraken headset and and a sabretooth controller. So yeah I'm kinda a big Razer fan and have been for a long time.
I did not get any highly detailed email saying how much they love my channel or really anything for that matter but instructions on how to to proceed but that was enough to make me happy knowing I can promote merchandise I use, I like and would 100% recommend to others.
So here is My affiliate banner! Go buy something! :)
