Your joking.......right.

hmmm... I wonder if I can get Apple to give me a new IPhone for my vids

If an org gave product away to everyone that put a you tube vid up they wouldn't make a lot of profit.....this is why they want value for their spend. Don't expect people to give up their hard earned profits these days for something that returns them no value.
Perhaps business in Tas operates differently, but I doubt it.
If you want the free prod give them something in return.......it's a simple principle, and fair. Sponsorship is never a simple request for help, and nor should it be. As I said there are lots of other sailors clambering for help out there.....just make your case more compelling if you want to succeed.

Just to let you know im very unexperienced in sponsorship and didn't realize writing that would cause that reaction.
sorry for writing it

Don't let the knockers dissuade you from trying to achieve your goals and objectives. We once went to Coca Cola for sponsorship for an 18' skiff and were told that sailing wasn't their target market, all we wanted was a paltry $180,000 out of an advertising budget of $22,000,000. Good luck and keep trying.

Meanwhile, take the half sponsorship that Go-Pro offered. Never ever knock back free money.

Thanks Cisco and loose change :)

Ok, so let's get personal " red witch". Perhaps you need to re read the original post to understand my point".....

My point is that you should never expect help, or sponsorship, simply on the back of your YouTube hits.....except if your Kim Kardasian.

Offer the sponsor something in the way of exposure via performance, print media, etc. There are so many Junior crews that are high performing in just 29ers alone and can really use a free Go Pro".....so no, Sailor333 is not cutting my turf as I don't need free stuff, cant use it in my class or really need to at this point, but would gladly see it go to someone who truly deserves it......

If my advice was not heeded re sponsorship and proposals then that's fine....it came free.

Oh, and Redwitch, Tasmania does not have a mortgage on free help and advice, you will find it's a general theme across the country at most yacht clubs, including the great State of WA.

At no point was I suggesting we get personal, ""WA125er"". But may I suggest some units in Humility? Then your case may have come across a little less obnoxious.
Moving on, it is great to see this topic really getting so many views.. Keeping the commentary alive has helped move the view count on some of the videos from a handful to several thousand!!
Pretty compelling Marketing campaign, wouldn't you agree "WA125er"?
