First: Act Professional: When asking someone to Sponsor you, Don't post a Comment on their channel saying "Sponsor Me!" That is Annoying, and also Will most likely ignored and you will never get a reply back. Send the Channel or Company a E-Mail or a Private Message. This ensures A PRIVATE Response from both ends as well as a more in detail look at what you have to offer.
Second: FREE STUFF: 98% of you will agree that you only want a Sponsor for Free Stuff. Companies will not give you Free stuff right off the bat. They will need to see that you can Promote their Service or Product by yourself and are bringing new customers to their Business. DO NOT ASK FOR FREE STUFF!
Third: What you Got: This follows the Topic above. As a Sponsor, they are looking for a Reputable Team, Player, etc To Represent their Company so that People who watch or see this team will Think "Wow! This team got First place at the Competition using this product!" Usually a Sponsor will scout for these teams on their own. But 90% of them are waiting for you to send in your inquiry of Sponsorship. Show them what skills you have, How you can Represent their product, How will you promote the product, and what you will do in the future. If you can show them all of these you have a 60% More chance of Sponsorship than the others.
Fourth: What do they offer: What does the "Sponsor" offer and how will it benefit you? Don't apply for a Sponsorship, that does nothing in your benefit. 99% Of YouTube Channel Sponsors offer NOTHING! They will say Subscribe, Box us, Like our videos, Upload our intro. Done your Sponsored!" What does this do for you? You want a Sponsor that will Help you out in the future. And that offers you something. If you have heard of the Pro MLG Team, FeaR. They started as a Gb team, then grew with GFX Sponsors. Then Signed a contract with Turtle Beach Headsets. They Represented this business at Pro Events and brought Great Promotion to the company. That is what you have to work for.
Summary: Don't apply for a Sponsorship, unless they can Offer you a deal for the future. BE Professional in your request and show what you have to offer.
If you read all of this You will have a better chance at that dream Oppurtunity.
