Are affiliate programs a good entry point for athletes seeking sponsorships?
Answered in: How to Get Sponsored By… — Series BundleThe Answer
Yes, affiliate programs are an excellent way to start a relationship with a brand. Most brands now have affiliate programs because they're selling direct (often on Amazon even if they claim to only sell through distributors). Signing up for an affiliate program is typically easy and turnkey, and it gives you a way to demonstrate your ability to drive sales and engagement before asking for a larger sponsorship commitment. It's a low-risk way for both the athlete and brand to test the relationship.
