I’ve spent a couple of months now working on a huge, multi-part article for YoYoNews on yoyo sponsorships, with input from all the manufacturers and a lot of sponsored players. Thought it might be of interest to a few people. :wink: Expect the first installment sometime next month. ---

Just keep going to contests and try to get yourself noticed. If you go to worlds, or nats, and your someone has a booth, help them set up or ask a few questions about their company (or both). You will be surprised how much more noticed you can get by being a helpful person at contests and such. I am known as the kid in the blue onedrop shirt who won the kendama challenge at the Z games. Not the biggest face in new england, but for me, its a start :). Anyway, just keep trying and keep enjoying the sport and before you know it you will be sponsored! ;D [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/can-anyone-tell-me-how-one-gets-sponseored/56922.md?page=1)
