Everyone
is looking for a sponsorship. Many people bring a lot to the table. Some of these folks know how to leverage what they bring to actually benefit the company they are courting. It is only a select few of these athletes that actually find their way into spokesperson positions. As you can imagine, it is not an easy position to attain and there are many worthy athletes that unfortunately are unable to land the coveted spot.
All that being said, it is imperative that you understand the power of your social media presence if you want to be one of those few that get the position. Your presence online and your ability to live up to it in person WILL MAKE or BREAK YOU! We have recently had a couple of articles here on MensPhysique.com teaching you how to land that sponsorship, so I won’t keep harping on specifics at this point. What I will do is share with you a real life HYSTERICAL attempt at getting sponsored.
The most
valuable commodity you have is your time and time management is not the solution. As a matter of fact, time management is a myth as time is unmanageable. The only thing you can manage are your choices you make with the same 24 hours of time everyone else has. So, from this point forward, I want to coach you to focus on “choice management” and abandon the myth of “time management”.
There are two discoveries within the areas of time and choices to look at as we begin to dig in to making money in training.
Discovery Number One: There are only so many people you can train “in person” each day. This puts a cap on your earning capabilities as you drive revenue through billable hours.
Discovery Number Two: There is an obvious growing trend of online trainers.
This is where you get to make a choice of HOW you exchange your hours for dollars. A little bit of research shows you can make three-four times the amount of money as an online trainer vs. one-on-one, in person trainer. So, the decision is yours. You are trading hours for dollars, it’s that simple. Online training has the greatest opportunity for growth. Also keep in mind, as you grow your online business, reputation, and client base, you will continue to feed people into your daily schedule of in person training. The objective is balance of revenue sources as you grow your business.
How
do I get a sponsor? This must be one of the most asked questions by fitness competitors. Through personal experience with sponsorships and being a business man myself, I think J.F.K conceptually answers the question perfectly with his statement, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."
No 
matter how many times this topic has been covered on this site and elsewhere, it is still a question I get asked daily – “How do I go about getting sponsored?”
Firstly, you must be realistic! If you are just an average gym goer who does not compete or work in the sports and fitness industry what are you looking to be sponsored for? You often see the phrase on a person’s facebook or twitter bio “sponsored athlete” or “sponsored fitness model”. I can’t say I have ever seen a bio that contains the phrase “sponsored average gym goer”.

What You'll Be Singing:
“Men’s Physique Is Coming To Town” (To the tune of “Santa Clause Is Coming To Town”)
Lyrics by Scott Fishkind
I was 
recently approached by a client asking me my thoughts about a photographer who in their estimate was trying very hard to imitate my style and work processes. They asked "doesn't this bother you?" After giving it some thought the best response I could come up with is "not really." But allowing it to marinate a bit more I pose the question of "why should it bother me?" The reality is, without this person's own business or creative identity, the best they could ever hope to achieve would be almost as good as someone else.
In
the industry there are tons of questions. Some are more common than others. Today, I want to discuss one that was put to me the other day. A collegue recently asked me, “What is the most common mistake I see talent make when they are attempting to get their foot in the industry?” My answer, which I am sharing with you herein is that far too often I see people enter the talent industry with no willingness to invest their resources to properly grow their career.
When we think of INVESTMENT, we have to think beyond just IRA’s and Education as one delves into a profession such as fitness modeling...
If
you looking to get into the modeling industry, one of the most important things you will need is a strong up-to-date modeling portfolio. Aspiring models are often unsure how to put this together or end up adding images that are not suitable for booking the work they aim to do. Consider the following steps when looking to create a workable portfolio to develop your business.
Determine the type of modeling work you aspire to do...
