PRODUCT REVIEW Videos
My channel, Vasko Obscura, is all about photography and videography. I review gear, share tutorials, and bring viewers behind the scenes on real shoots. My goal is to inspire the next generation of creators by sharing what I’ve learned in a fun and creative way. With industry experience going back to 2005, I’ve worked with a wide range of gear in all kinds of situations, and I draw on that experience in every review.
When I partner with a brand, I focus on two key goals. First, I want to help your brand grow through a genuine review and effective exposure. Second, I aim to create content that resonates with my audience and continues to build the community around my channel. I strongly believe that integrity is important and above all, honesty comes first, I will always give my viewers a truthful, transparent review.
* I aim to publish a review within three weeks of receiving a product, but I can’t guarantee an exact date. Since I also run a photography business, client work can occasionally shift my schedule.
How I Help Bring Your Product Exposure
Below is the standard package I offer for every product review, unless we agree on something custom. My goal is simple, create content that not only showcases your product, but also helps it get discovered.
YouTube Review Video
I produce a dedicated, honest, and engaging YouTube review featuring your product. The video description includes direct product links and is fully SEO-optimized to improve visibility on YouTube and Google search results.
High Quality Product Photos
I capture 3 to 6 professionally shot product photos and share them across my social platforms (Instagram, X, and my blog). Each post includes relevant tags, hashtags, and keywords to increase organic reach.
Social Media Promotion
The finished product review video is also promoted across my social channels (Instagram, X, and my blog) to drive additional awareness and views.
SEO Optimized Blog Post
To complement the video review, I publish an SEO-optimized blog article that embeds the YouTube video and features the product photos I’ve taken. If helpful, I’ll also include bonus content such as sample images or extra product notes on the blog. My blog consistently performs well on Google, helping ensure that when people search for your product, my review and product photos appear prominently. example blog review 1, example blog review 2
Double Exposure
After making the initial product review I may use your product again as part of a future video. When I do, I reference the original review so viewers can learn more, giving your product ongoing exposure beyond the initial campaign.
Bonus Option - Boost Review Video Reach
If you’re looking for a larger and faster boost in visibility, YouTube offers me the ability to promote videos through paid advertising. With this option, YouTube’s algorithm pushes the review video to viewers who are most likely to be interested in watching, extending its reach well beyond my regular audience. This is an effective way to maximize exposure and get your product in front of a wider, targeted audience.
If you’d like to explore this option, just let me know and I can walk you through the details.
