MMARECRUITER.COM ENGAGES REVOLUTIONARY FEATURES FOR MMA FIGHTERS
Posted on | July 13, 2011 | No Comments
We added a new feature to MMA Recruiter that allows our members to accept sponsorship donations directly through their profiles. The great thing about this feature is, now ANYONE can sponsor you. This means companies, friends, family, fans or anyone else that would like to send you money, can. No longer do you have to be reliant on managers or companies for sponsorship money.
It is easy to do, just refer potential sponsors to your MMA Recruiter profile page. The potential sponsor can click on your donation button and send you sponsorship funds. The best part is, you keep 100% of the money, less any Paypal fees.
Getting Started
This explains how to accept MMA sponsorship donations directly through your MMA Recruiter profile. The first thing you will need to do is add your Paypal email address to your account settings. Once your Paypal email address is added and saved in your account settings, your sponsorship donation button is now ready to accept sponsorship funds.

Updating Your Profile
Once you have added your Paypal email address to your profile, you will need to update your profile information. Your profile should be used like a professional resume. The goal is to attract sponsors. Profiles that contain limited information, are a great disadvantage. Make your profile as professional as possible. Add as many photos, videos, and information about yourself as possible.

About Sponsors
Currently there are more fighters than sponsors in the mixed martial arts industry. A majority of MMA fighters are under the impression that once they start training, money and sponsors will automatically begin pouring in. This is the furthest thing from the truth. If you are an amateur MMA fighter with no fights and limited training, it is extremely tough to find sponsors. It is important that you make yourself and profile stand out above all the other fighters in the industry. It is very important for up-and-coming fighters to be their own best promoter when getting started in MMA.
Sponsors want to get the most bang for their buck when sponsoring a fighter and this generally means exposure. Sponsors tend to lean towards fighters that can get them national exposure. Big named national companies generally do not sponsor amateur fighters, fighting at a small local show.
This is where you need to get creative and think outside of the box. If you are fighting at a local show, go after local companies in your area that can benefit from the exposure or local residents that want to extend their support. This could be anyone from a local restaurant to your neighbor. Many business owners are fans of the sport and could uses some extra advertising.
Promoting Your Profile
Next you will need to start promoting your MMA Recruiter profile link. By promoting your MMA Recruiter profile link, this sends your referrals to your profile page. MMA is still a growing sport and you MUST be proactive when trying to find sponsors.
Create a professional email about yourself, include your MMA Recruiter profile link in it and start emailing/messaging to as many companies as possible. Your email should contain what you can offer the potential sponsor and how they will benefit by sponsoring you. With a downed economy, business owners are going to be weighing their advertising options. You need to explain how sponsoring you as a fighter can benefit their company.
It is a numbers game. The more potential sponsors you contact, the greater your chances are of finding sponsorship. Set a goal to email, message, or call a certain amount of potential sponsors per day. If you can, get your spouse, friends or family members to help.
