My girlfriend is a competitive fitness athlete. She compete as a figure athlete in bodybuilding shows. She also competes in Powerlifting, Tough Mudder and Spartan race competitions. Here and there she gets offered sponsorships, but has politely turned them down. The main reason being we don’t know what would be a good sponsorship and what is reasonable as far as her requirements. We'd like to pursue this avenue for a few reasons. Revenue being the main one, but also building a brand for her, so she can have an effective platform to motivate inspire other women in their 40’s and 50’s. I’m looking for someone who can outline the major and minors dos and donts we should be aware. How do we go about creating “her platform.” What she should offer? How do we go about attracting legitimate offers. She has no aspirations of being famous, but we both feel we can generate some good revenue and have a positive impact by partnering with companies. Can you offer any detailed advice or outline? Thanks
The best way to approach this is to go for the first deal that sort of makes sense and is short term. Meaning, you aren’t committed to this company for long. See how it works. See what the actual work is compared to the price and ask yourself if it’s worth it. You need to be willing to lose here to learn. This is too new of an area and no one has any real answers. I would say yes to anything that isn’t some real garbage company and watch out for scams then take it from there.
