How to get sponsored by a supplement company? I mean without doing competition beforehand, would it be possible? Some of us might need supplementations to change our body but at the same time one might find money as an issue here. Lets say someone who wanted to transform his/her body and need supplementation, are there chances for him/her to be sponsored by a company?
How?

A company sponsorship is meant to be mutually beneficial. If a company dumps a bunch of money into supplementing you, they expect to see results in increased purchases of their products because of your first hand experiences/marketing/word of mouth. The reason competitors get sponsored is because they're SERIOUS about it. Non-competitive weight lifters have a bad habit of falling off the wagon.

a supplement company will sponsor you if they can get something out of it. If you're a big inspiration to lots of people, you'll have a better chance of getting sponsored. You'll find that most people that have had massive transformations get sponsored AFTER they are done with their transformation and people notice. That was the company gets their name out by having the person say they used their products during their transformation. You're not going to get sponsored by saying "i dont have the money, please give me free supps". The company needs to know you're in it for the long run and will be a good representation of what the company stands for and such. ESPECIALLY since you've come and posted on the forums that you dont want to get sponsored because you think you'll be a good poster child for a company, or sent companies that you like/whose supps you use currently for your transformation emails asking them to sponsor you-you've just come on the forums and said "i dont have money, give me free stuff".

why would a company take such a risk on an unknown person?
with no competition history and a need for ''supplementations to change our body'' this wouldnt really appeal to any company. there are so many fitness/BBers out there who are trying a lot harder, who have competed and are unsponsored still.** I rep back **
If I havent repped back within a week, PM me, i'm on recharge now but working n it

There are before and after gigs. Which are extremely temporary and usually go to fitness models. In a competition youd need to be pretty good to get a solid contract unless youre a fluke like try brewer. But youd pretty much need to be at a level to win nationals.
Ive given contracts to athletes in the past but only because they had the potential to go on to win nationals.....which they did.Canadian Supplement Market Guru

There are even pros out there that have PM'd forum members who are representatives of companies and asked if their company was looking to sponsor anyone.
The sponsored athlete role seems less like something you can achieve by posting on the forum.
OP where are you from? A few companies have company reps (that are "sponsored" with free supplements) outside of the US...
If you are serious about it though you need to put yourself out there. Asking how it happens in a thread where you haven't posted any pictures of yourself/etc. isn't going about it the right way.
