hi guys! So, I am a 12 year old yoyo-er who has been throwing for 3 years and going. I have always wanted to work out a sponsorship deal with onedrop. The company has a great community and I feel as if I could contribute a lot to the community. I would love it if I could contact some people from onedrop, to get to know the community better, and find out what it takes to go pro. Yoyoing for me is my life. I yoyo every day all day, and it would be great if I could enjoy it even more!

No no no no no. Hold up.
I know youāre younger and maybe even new here as well, but before everyone else antagonizes you for this post, Iām going to let you in on a secret. Itās a BIG no-no in the yoyo world to go around asking for sponsorships or anything related. If youāre the type of person that asks to be sponsored or how to be sponsored, you probably shouldnāt be sponsored.
If you want to be sponsored DONāT ask for it and DONāT ask how to be sponsored. If you want to be sponsored get your name out there by winning big contests or making somewhat decent videos, preferably both. If you donāt do that, donāt even waste your time THINKING about being sponsored. Just be a good, helpful member of the community on top of all thatā¦ and above all donāt make these type of posts.
Let the companies come to you, donāt go to the companies.
Iām sorry if you werenāt expecting this type of response but I tried to make it as nice as possible compared to what Iāve seen in past threads when people ask this type of question.
Please stop spamming this post. You arenāt going about it the right way. Generally, you [size=10pt]NEVER [/size] ask for a sponsorship. Most of the time, children are the ones to do this, which you state you are, and this just shows immaturity. The company will contact you if they are interested. What you are doing is considered bad form.
Now, on to the helping portion. Iām not sponsored, but I believe to do so, you have to get noticed. You can do that through making videos, winning contests (this is a big one, I assume), and just generally making a name for yourself in the community.
I am very sad to say that making this sort of post, often guarantees zero chance of sponsorship, as this sort of post is exactly what companies are not looking for.
Lesson to many we can learn today: ānever openly ask for sponsorships.ā This isnāt the skate community, we donāt do āsponsor meā post and videos.
Best of luck.

I made a āsponsor meā video and sent it to Loaded Longboardsā¦ They didnāt sponsor me but they sent me a bunch of free swag!
I am so sorry to everyone. I am a little new to the yoyo community, first contest I competed in 1a in was this year. I know now that I shouldnāt post stuff like this.
