Are you a blogger or educator who is interested in traveling to conferences, conventions and expos but aware that these things cost money? Have you heard of this magical-sounding thing called sponsorship and are you now wondering how you can get you some of that? Well, let’s talk about it!
Showing love to my sponsors post-tour.
Sponsorship isn’t just free money. There’s a whole lot that goes into securing it, negotiating it and making it beneficial for everyone involved- it’s a job! How do I know this? In 2013, just 6 months after launching my site I secured sponsorship for the Superhero Sex Shop Tour – my tour of North America’s best sex shops. It was a huge undertaking and one I could not have pulled off without the help of sponsors.
I know a thing or two about working with sponsors and I want to share that information with you, so on Saturday April 4th at 12pm PST (3pm EST) I’ll be hosting an online workshop on the ins and outs of navigating sponsorship like a professional. I’ll talk about:
- Finding sponsors.
- Crafting a professional and persuasive presentation.
- Offering incentives – You have more to offer than you may know!
- Following through in a way that reinforces your sponsors confidence in you.
- Maintaining your relationships.
There will also be time for questions so come prepared with any you may have.
So, if you are interested in getting to the sponsorship game and want to do it right, come on out (to your computer- you don’t have to go far) on Saturday April 4th at 12pm PST (3pm EST) and let’s do some learning!
The workshop will be conducted via Google Hangouts.
Sweet! Not sure I can go since I took my turtle to urgent care ($200 adds up quick!) but this is a wonderful idea. Keep up the good work! And I hope you do it again.
Either way, send my love to your turtle. Pet medical stuff can be scary (and pricy!)
Aww thanks! It sucked bc I didn’t know she was sick at first. Of course I caught it AFTER her owie got infected. I’ve had her about 10 years now so I’m pretty attached to my turtles so taking her to the doc washroom with the money k was saving up to buy a new archery bow but Spending that money keep her healthy and in as little discomfort at all was the absolute best way to spend my money and I don’t feel bad for myself now that I can get a bow.
They be my babies (had the other one for fifteen years now!)
About how long is the workshop?
90 minutes give or take depending on volume of questions.
Cool! Thank you! 🙂
This looks like it was extremely awesome. I’m sorry I missed it. Hopefully you’ll run it again soon?
Hey Bryan! The class is actually available to stream or download any time you want. It’s something I’m looking forward to doing with more classes in the future:
