Sponsorship where/how to find one?

I'm one of the people who want discounts or even free stuff, of course! Now since I'm being impatient about saving money for my mods, I've been thinking of sponsorship.

I haven't made a lot of searches about it so I have multiple questions:
How to start finding one?
What do I get for sponsoring for most company?
How hard is it to get into one?

Most of all, do you know one that's looking for a sponsor?


please skip the 'angry comments', I'm only interested in informations

So far with your stellar post history I would say you don't have a hope in hell!
I think you need to concentrate on graduating high school before you try to move up.
Not an "angry comment" as I am more amused then perturbed by your arrogance so within your reply requirements!

First, you need money.





(Also would like to mention that I was almost partially sponsored for a certain widebody kit about a year ago. I'm glad I ended up not doing it, would have needed to spend a ton of cash!!!)

Also enter a lot of big car shows and be local to the place you want to sponsor you. Be at the right place at the right time. Is this guy serious?

You have to give them a reason on why they should invest in you. Free isnt free. Write reviews for products you buy. make DIY threads and/or videos. Build a fan base on social media, be active on the forums. And then step 2 like others have said, be fast. When a company is about to release a product your too late.

Have all of your friends create LLCs.

Then have them make a ****ton of stickers.

And finally, allow them to paste said stickers on your car.

SHAZAM! Sponsored.

It's been a few years since I had any sort of sponsorship for my minitruck, but going about it was like getting a job. You need a resume for your car/truck, and you have to sell it to them. Show how you can give them a good ROI (return on investment). Essentially you are selling them advertising space on your car, so a history of large show or race wins, magazine, and now internet coverage.

Research sponsorship on google, or reach out to companies and contact them.


If you want your money for nothing and car parts for free, you gotta learn the play the google on the HTTP
