Hey Product Hunt this one is just for you guys! For the past few years I’ve been able to land a lot of sponsorships. Over 2,000 sponsorships actually. What I realized during that time is that getting sponsorships is something anyone can do, people just don’t know where to start. I’ve created a free 7-day email course and I’m giving it to this community first. Why? I know there are a bunch of bloggers, podcasters, event organizers, and other folks here that could really use this information. Plus, I also know the Product Hunt community is great for feedback. So I’d love to learn from the experience. Getting sponsorships comes down to creating a solid foundation of your product offering, leveraging your existing network (your most important asset), understanding the value of follow up emails, and a few other things I explain in the email course. And, you can make some pretty good money with sponsorships too :) Happy to answer any questions related to landing sponsorships and hope you enjoy the course!

Can you elaborate more on the paid aspect of your course? What sort of material does it contain that the free version does not?

@stevenbuccini Sure thing! The email course is 7 of the 12 course topics (abridged versions). The course is 12 in-depth videos on the topics of: - Creating A Value Proposition - Using Your Contact List The Right Way - Creating A Pitch List - Sending Pitch Emails - The Secret Art Of The Follow Up Email - Setting Up & Selling Package Deals - Focusing On Solving A Problem - How To Think Outside The Box - Dealing With "No" - Establishing Sponsorship Pricing - Under Promising And Over Delivering Each of those topics has its own lesson with downloadable resources (PDFs, Spreadsheets, email templates that work, and more). The course also has full transcripts for each lesson so you can reference important points in each video. And people who purchase the course are invited to a private FB group where I host weekly office hours and help people work through their pitches, struggles, etc.

@jordansuccar great looking product Jordan! I signed up for the beta and will give it a look. I'd love to add this as a resource in the bigger (paid) course I offer. Could be something I send out to the existing students too. Shoot me an email jason(at)iwearyourshirt.com and let's chat :)

Yes! Jason's my sherpa for anything/everything sponsorship related, and the reason I've got sponsors for some of the things I've done. So this email course is perfect and full of knowledge (and I'm only the second lesson!).

@pjrvs don't lie, you get sponsors because you have adorable rats. When you have pets you can leverage, always use the pets first! #Sponsorship101

@iwearyourshirt What's funny is that companies HAVE actually sent my rats swag, promo stuff and assorted bits and bobs.
