Gather a portfolio and send it to companies. For muscle/supplement sponsors, the same, but also a very good idea to do some shows. It can be very tough to get into this area though. As an example, Richard Godzecki is the reigning NPA champion, and he is one of the few I can think of appearing in magazines (Garnell Nutrition). Also Jon Harris for maximuscle, another NPA champ. I assume you are a natural trainer with these comments, obviously (judging by your interest in male modelling as well as fitness/muscle). If you have the look a company is seeking then you have a good chance, but they have to know you are there, so send out a portfolio to tons of companies and see what happens. sel

question you need to ask yourself, is what do you have to offer the companies? you arent going to get given sponsorship because of passion or potential, they want a return on their money, and for that you need to have something to provide that. so, you need a profile, a physique, some achievement, a decent reputation, be generally a decent guy thats going to show them in a good light and be a good 'face' or representative for their brand. its a VERY competitive marketplace, and there are lots of people competing for very few places. keep an eye of for companies running competitions as part of promotions etc. do whatever you can to get a foot into the industry to demonstrate you have whats needed
