Fam-Fit Daily 2-2-10CoW “Magnitud”Lovin’ My Ice!First, there is no guaranteed blueprint way to getting sponsored; it happens in a huge array of ways. Follow basic guidelines and put “You” into it and you’ll ignite interest. Just make sure that it’s from the attention of those you want.
Second, there is a difference between sponsorship and endorsements. Sponsorships are usually quid pro quo. Sponsorships may require for you to spend your money in order to make money. Endorsements is when you just have to be you and they’ll pay you to be just that! Occasionally, you’ll wear their clothes, make a statement about the products or be in their ads.
When I’m talking about sponsorship, usually you’ll hear Team (enter brand name), you will supplement the brand. Endorsements you’ll hear Ava Cowan, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, etc where you will complement the brand. Got it?
Sponsorship packages come in many angles. 1) I’ll send you free product if you compete or blog or whatever. You can use them and market it for us. Telling all you know that you used it to get to your current state. 2) I’ll send you free product, you do paid appearances for me and you get to tell everyone. 3) you sell the products, distribute them, get some free. Or 4) all the above: sell it, distribute it, paid appearances and get it free.
Third, get started. Takes some research. Find brands, companies that you want to be affiliated with. Brands that are looking to expand into your territory, brands that have sought people or have had others sponsored before. Don’t waste your time & money in a company that feels the product sells itself and doesn’t need a face or name to market it. Some are excellent companies like Bev International who’s brand doesn’t believe in sponsorship but does believe in distributorship. You couldn’t know that if you didn’t research it (or I didn’t tell you).
Find those companies that align with you, what you want and target them.
Fourth, your package. Do you compete? How often? Include your past history and placing, organization and category.
Do you blog? How often? What’s your reach/hits/following? Include that in your package with snapshots of your website and analytical page (or independent analytical page like Alexa.com).
Are you a business? What kind? Maybe youre a great candidate for distributorship! How many clients? How can this penetrate a deeper reach for you and your business.
Include your social network aspect. Use Klout.com for this on twitter, fb friends or even better fb pages.
Fifth: putting together and put it online. Why? Because it readily accessible. If you have a website, someone happens to read it with the power to reach out to you, why not have it sell you while you’re at work? That’s my mistake! Thankfully, Carol of Muscleology found me on Twitter because my tweet box is on my blog page. But she didn’t have to venture that far for me if she didn’t want to. She could have moved on to the next. Again thankfully she didn’t! Thanks to Twitter!!!
Put it online may mean google docs if you don’t have a website, so when opportunity arises you can easily email it. Or if you do have a site or blog, make it a downloadable PDF from the site.
Sixth: the pull. The pull is the actual letter or email you will draft to get folks interested in you! That is the only correspondence you will send out. Remember features tell but benefits sell! Okay you compete-so what??? Okay you blog-so what??? Okay you run a business-So What!?
WIIFM? What’s in it for me (the sponsor) because I already know what’s in it for you? That’s when you have to sell you and only by knowing your worth, your uniqueness and your potential can PULL them towards your way. Everyone wants to get with someone/something special. Find that about yourself and then deliver it in this “pull” letter. Send pics & testimonials as well if it makes sense to.
Finally, there are monetary sponsorships as well. Don’t neglect this opportunity as well. It works the same way! The quid pro quo could mean spokesperson, appearances, articles or blog posts, clothing to be advertised or worn, giveaways or mentions on social media or tv outlets.
Hope this helps and like I said, there is no cookie cutter way to do this but this is a solid step to get you notice and in the door!Share this:StumbleUponDiggReddit

Do you pass by the magazine stands in the
store and envy the bodies of the cover models? More and more women today are
coveting this body type; strong and muscular while still being feminine. Gone
are the days where strong women are seen as too masculine and unattractive.
The female fitness body is here to stay.
Now, curves are back so long as they are created with muscle mass and have a softer appearance. Hot celebrities such as Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba are now gracing the covers showing off their new curves. What’s more is that these women are garnering a great deal of male attraction – much more than their thinner counterparts such as Lindsay Lohan or Victoria Beckham.
Luckily, if you make some smart changes to your workout program you can get yourself on the road to looking like the next female fitness model, maybe even covermodel!
First things first. Pink Weights.
If you want to add sexy curves to your body, you need not be afraid of heavier weights. Don’t worry, you are not going to bulk up and begin bearing resemblance to Vin Diesel, as women simply do not have the testosterone in their bodies to be able to do this. In fact, in a very good situation, assuming sound training and great nutrition, a woman would be lucky to put on about half a pound of muscle mass per month. Not quite as scary as you thought right? And that is assuming everything is done right

It is now 6 weeks out from the UFE National Championships for client, Angela Rivard. She has gotten the chance to work into her new routine of her career switch to personal training and her new contest prep plan.
Angela is well on her way to being stage ready! The things we are working on are maintaining as much muscle as possible as prep goes on, making things “work in” to her new schedule, and she would like to attempt a different pre-stage strategy. The plan for the final phase will be added closer to her show.

Fitness Model Teagen Rose giving a shout out to Krave Fit Magazine at his photo-shoot.
is very much a fitness model extraordinaire. She has the smile, the poses, and of course the physique. This lady has some rock hard abs. Can’t catch them at a bad angle or in bad light. She started out at the tender age of 3, not as a fitness competitor but as a soccer player. She played all the way through college and sort of graduated into weight training and leading others into her fitness lifestyle through instruction and inspiration.
Beth is 28 years old. She stands 5’6″ tall and weighs about 137 lbs. Her blue eyes and her dark hair make for a striking combination. She works as a senior clinical research assistant. She recently placed 5th at the Jr. USA competition.
#gallery-1It was difficult to find very much in the way of accurate biographical information on this Russian fitness model and female bodybuilder. appears to be in her 30′s and about medium height (5’5″ or so). She has a very exotic look and based on recent photographs she still lives, trains, and competes in Russia. Ljubov has a very symmetric upper and lower body, and seems to have contest prep down pat considering her low bodyfat and even tan. Her legs are well defined but not terribly bulky. Beautiful smile :)
#gallery-1Jaime-Lynn Oliver is a fitness model from Kolowna British Columbia in Canada. She recently placed third in the Novis Fitness Model contest in the Fame Canadia Nationals. She is a forester, so I suppose you could call her a lumberjack. She says despite the fact that her job is incredibly physically demanding, preparing for her first contest was even more so. The blonde hair and golden tan work beautifully with Jaime-Lynn’s pearly white smile. She is sure to go far in the fitness model world. I wonder if she plans to continue adding muscle and eventually compete in fitness competitions.
#gallery-1We’ve had tons of requests to cover more track and field babes like this popular post back in July. It’s tough to cover collegiate track and field because information on the female athletes is so scant. It’s even hard to find info on the meets and who wins or places near the top. So here’s a gal caught in between events. She’s all in black and looking lean and mean. Or at least ready to whip some hineys.
#gallery-1Okay, crazy veins in her lower abs automatically qualify for our Amazing Abs category. Lisa has been involved in fitness most of her life. She was a skinny teenager, and decided to take weight training in high school to try and beef up a bit. She fell in love with the sport, and ended up pursuing a degree in exercise science. Not satisfied with a single degree, she went back for a Master’s in sports management.
She grew up in North Carolina but has moved around a bit (including a stint in Las Vegas). Lisa is 30 years old, stands 5’6″ tall, and usually competes at 135 lbs. She started competing in 2003, and won her pro card at the 2006 Jr USA placing 1st. She seems to have disappeared from the competition scene around 2007 after placing 4th and 9th in some shows. But Lisa does seem to be as active as ever doing fitness modeling.
Lisa says that modeling helped her overcome shyness.
#gallery-1was all set to have a spectacular career in gymnastics when something happened to her that unfortunately happens to a lot of gymnasts – she got hurt. A knee injury sidelined her for several years as a teenager. She became more active when she started going to the gym and working out, and she says that has been an addiction ever since. It helps her cope with life and is almost therapeutic for her.
Devin says she’s always been pretty muscular, and considering she stays busy as a fitness model she has to be careful not to add too much muscle. She does quite a bit of cardio, and keeps it pretty light (relative to the weights she lifts) when pumping iron. She likes to train hard, and says she just doesn’t get that feeling of accomplishment if she doesn’t really sweat and grind when she’s in the gym working out.
