Received an unsolicited email today, offering to pay me to post up to 4 drone review videos on my YouTube channel.
The catch is that I have to utilize their provided video footage, because they aren't shipping any product to allow me to actually do an honest review of their new drone.
I declined their offer, obviously.
Here's the email, minus their contact info ..

Hi Yellow Rose Drones,
Hope you’re doing well!
I’m Kelly from the creator partnerships team, reaching out with a paid collaboration opportunity that I think would be a great fit for your content.
We’re currently working with a world-leading drone brand (under NDA at this stage) and are looking for creators in the drone / camera niche on YouTube Shorts.
Collaboration details:
Content type: Product review-style Shorts (voiceover + provided footage)
Deliverables: 4 videos
Rate: $50 per video (total $200)
Product: No physical sample will be shipped — we will provide all footage, materials, and guidance
Editing: You’ll only need to edit + add text/graphics/voiceover based on the provided assets
Creator profile we’re looking for:
Focused on drone / camera / tech content
Active on YouTube Shorts
Ability to deliver clean, engaging, review-style edits
If this sounds interesting, I’d be happy to share more details and get things started right away.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Best regards,
Kelly
