Who you'll be working with

A senior system engineer and content creator, not a generic influencer.

Marc is a Belgian IT professional with over 15 years of experience in networking, infrastructure, Hyper-V clusters, SAN storage, Intune and modern workplace deployments.

Through his Mylemans Online YouTube channel, blog and projects on GitHub, Marc creates in-depth content around:

  • Proxmox and virtualization in real homelab setups
  • Switches, routers, VLANs, VPN and network design
  • Automation, scripting and documentation best practices
  • Licensing, backup and practical IT for small environments

Sponsorships are treated as collaborative projects, not transactional placements: every integration is tested, scripted in my voice, and aligned with what the audience actually wants to see.

The audience is mostly IT prosumers, homelab enthusiasts, system engineers and small business owners who actively invest in their setups.

Audience & reach

Technical viewers with real buying intent, not casual entertainment.

Formats

Sponsorship formats

Three ways to work together, each built around a tutorial people will still find a year from now. Every engagement is quoted on request, based on the format, the product and the scope; multi-channel campaigns (YouTube + blog + newsletter) are scoped individually.

Flagship

Production + placement

Quote on request

A hands-on technical video about your product, produced by a senior systems engineer, that you can use on your own channels and that keeps getting found by sysadmins on YouTube and Google for years.

  • 8–12 minute video on the main channel, tested in a real environment
  • Companion article on mylemans.online
  • LinkedIn post, newsletter feature and 2 Shorts cut from the video
  • Perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the video organically on your own site and channels
  • Performance report after 30 days and after 6 months

Best fit: products with real setup depth: virtualization, backup, remote access, networking, endpoint management, security tooling.

Integrated segment

Quote on request

Your product doing a real job inside a planned homelab, Proxmox or networking tutorial, in a tested 60–90 second segment.

  • Mention in the companion article, with a tracked link or code
  • Organic usage licence for the segment
  • Performance report after 30 days

Best fit: SaaS, monitoring tools, backup platforms, VPN/tunnel services, hosting, security tools.

Series

Custom quote

Three Production + placement videos on one product line over six months, scheduled together: a build, a migration or a multi-part guide. Each part keeps working on its own in search, long after the series ends.

Best fit: vendors with a product line deep enough for several tutorials.

Who this isn't for: brands buying launch-week impressions at the lowest cost per view. Larger channels are a better deal for that, and I'd rather say so up front.

What I guarantee

Every guarantee covers something I control. Views aren't one of them.

Delivery date, or 20% back

The publication date goes in the agreement. If the video is late for reasons on my side, you get 20% of the fee back.

Factual accuracy review

You see the cut before it goes live and can flag technical errors. Facts get fixed; the opinion stays mine.

Your footage, whatever the verdict

If testing turns up problems I can't recommend around, you can still use the produced footage organically, or walk away with 50% back and nothing published.

Found on Google, or a free segment

If the companion article isn't indexed by Google within 30 days of publication, you get a free 60-second segment in a later relevant video.

All sponsorships follow my content principles: no scripts I didn't write, no negative competitive comparisons, no claims about your product I don't believe are accurate. See the FAQ below for details.

Why work with Mylemans Online?

Technical depth, real-world usage and a highly targeted audience.

Hands-on, not hype

Every integration is tested in a real environment: Proxmox clusters, backup setups, switches, routers and homelab gear actually wired up and used.

Audience with buying intent

Viewers ask for part numbers, models and configs. Many videos directly influence hardware and software purchasing decisions.

Professional IT background

15+ years in the field as a system engineer. Reviews and tutorials come from day-to-day experience, not theory.

Past partnerships

Real collaborations, each with the video and the written post it produced. Every one is labelled as sponsored or gifted in the video and in the post.

Questions sponsors usually ask

Frequently asked questions

What does a sponsored video on Mylemans Online cost?

Pricing depends on the format, the product and the scope of the integration, so I don't publish a rate card. Send a sponsorship request with your product and goals and you'll have a quote within two business days.

What audience does Mylemans Online reach?

IT professionals and serious hobbyists: about 80% of viewers are 25–44. The largest audience is in the United States, followed by Europe (Germany and the UK lead), India and Canada. About 40% of views come from YouTube search and roughly six in ten go to videos more than a year old, so an integration keeps being seen long after launch week. Viewers are decision-makers or influencers for their own infrastructure and often for their workplace.

Can I see examples of past sponsored content?

Yes. The Past partnerships section above links straight to the videos and posts, plus two evergreen tutorials. Audience figures and performance data for comparable sponsorships are shared on request as part of the quote.

What's the typical turnaround time for a sponsored video?

For an integrated segment inside a planned tutorial: typically 3–4 weeks from agreement to publication. For a dedicated video (production + placement): typically 6–8 weeks including setup, testing, scripting, recording, editing, and publication. Rush turnarounds are possible for an additional fee.

What kinds of products fit best with the channel?

Products that solve real problems for homelab operators, prosumers, and IT professionals running their own infrastructure. Strong fits include: virtualization platforms, backup and storage tools, networking hardware (switches, routers, firewalls), remote access and tunneling services, monitoring and observability tools, security software, SaaS for sysadmins, and hosting providers. The common thread is that the audience uses these products themselves, not for someone else.

Are there products you won't promote?

Yes. I don't promote products I haven't tested in a real environment. I don't read scripts I didn't write or didn't agree to. I don't make competitive comparisons that misrepresent other vendors. I don't claim performance, security, or compliance benefits I haven't verified. I don't accept performance-only or affiliate-only deals as the primary compensation structure. And I won't take sponsorships for product categories that conflict with the audience's interests (e.g., consumer crypto, gambling, content unrelated to IT infrastructure). These constraints make the work better for both sides, in my experience.
