Universal Brand Deal Verification Checklist

Use this for every sponsorship email — not just Skillshare:

1️⃣

Domain check

Is the sender's email domain the brand's official domain? Look up the brand's website and compare exactly. One typo = scam.

2️⃣

Payment terms red flags

Real sponsorships pay you a flat fee post-delivery. If they require upfront payment from you, or offer commission-only but call it a "sponsorship," walk away.

3️⃣

Contract red flags

Never sign anything with: no payment timeline, unlimited content rights, no kill fee, or that requires you to download software to "review" it.

4️⃣

Due diligence steps

Google the sender's full name + "LinkedIn." Find the brand's official contact page and send a verification email. Never click attachments in initial outreach.

5️⃣
