    Thank you so much for this video Ryan. I wanted to make karting as a living for myself so I’ve been looking for such advice for quite sometime,I came across your advice videos a couple days ago and I found it very inspirational.Some of them really make me feel like I wish I’ve known these earlier
    Great work man! I really appreciate your work and I enjoyed your videos,cheers!

    Thank you so much Ryan! I was so happy when I saw this video. I had been hoping you would post about this. The sponsorship thing is very unknown when your new and I had no idea where to start. This helped a lot. When you talk about asking people for sponsorship who would you typically ask or email?

      Try and find what you need. If you need tires approach someone for tires. If it’s chassis do that as well. Just focus on accomplishing those needs

    • @NorbergNation
      @NorbergNation  3 роки тому

      Yes it is but I wouldn’t suggest doing that for your first race in outdoor karts. It’s a different animal all together. Look for a smaller series around your local track just to get your feet wet first.

  • @maxevans3401
    @maxevans3401 3 роки тому +1

    Whats a reasonable ask in terms of support? I always see what to ask for, but never how much. 100$, 1000$, how much is ok in karting or do you find then usually willing to give?

    • @NorbergNation
      @NorbergNation  3 роки тому +1

      When it comes down to smaller amount of money ask for trades like have them buy a set of tires or a pale of fuel. It feels more personal than getting handed 100$. But towards your question, find out your value and get a sponsor for that. If what you can offer is only worth $100 than that’s all you’ll get. More value = bigger sponsorships

      @christophermitchell885 3 роки тому +2

      Honestly just build connections, you need to still prove yourself to be worthy, you should also tell the business what you offer via exposure to their company

    • @NorbergNation
      @NorbergNation  3 роки тому +2

      The same tips still apply. The big note to take away is value. What value do you bring to a business that would be sponsoring you. You have to make it worth their money. Don’t think of yourself as a charity for a business but an investment.
