So i have been looking at the build log page of the forum. I wondered how do i get the companies to sponsor me?

You mail them and tell them how many people will look at it. I think..

You probably have to send stuff back though :P

It's not like they're just gonna sponsor a guy who's never built a PC before. They sponsored people who have done MANY outrageous and outstaning builds.

You usually have to have experience, and be able to explain to them why is it s good decision to sponsor your build. Can't say oh 200 people will see it give me a $500 gpu, likely for your first few builds you need to supply the major parts.

Yeah is it kinda like how ltt gets review samples. You have to give them back?

I have never done it, so I took a guess on the most logical thing.

You most likely wont be sponsored unless you've been working on PC's for a number of years and known within the community.

Yes being experienced and known in the community works. Sending them an email like "You could sponsor my channel and have access to my 90,000 subscribers all of whom are your target demographic" would also help even if you have not been building systems for decades or are buddy buddies with all the tech people around.

Depends on the sponsor. Some want you to send the product back and others allow you to keep it.
