How hard is it to gain sponsors?

[_JohnB330ci]

Hey there, I've been looking around on Amazon just to plan my next streaming pc build, and was wondering, how hard is it to actually get sponsors for parts? For example MSI, Intel or just companies that sell parts like Scan? I've always wanted to do many pc builds but don't have the money, just as much as the next person. Probably wouldn't happen, but what do you need to do to get their attention?

If you have a really nice looking build not hard

or very popular

Simple, if you think you are useful to them, then you are a potential target.

Other then that no.

you stand outside there factory begging 

[Untouchable]

you have to do something incredibly unique, 

or extremely popular.

You can do what that panhandler did with the child. She bought a mercedes bens and gtfo of the scene. You could always do that.

 

Well I honestly don't know, ummm you could maybe start a youtube channel. Or maybe you could contact someone from pcpartpicker because they have had sponsored builds, but I don't know, I am just spitballing ideas here.

Sponsore are a funny thing. We see them in vids and forum builds occasionally. We know they exist, but no one seems to know how they work, or how people actually go about getting them. Its as if its some kind of well kept secret among the super elites...

You need to have a body of clean and unique work prior to getting sponsored. That means extensive, really extensive modding and even fabrication from scratch which means that you must have an extensive background in fabrication and the tools required to do so. The end result must be very presentable as well considering most amateur modders can't even cut a straight line in most materials.

 

Additionally, most sponsored systems are either sent to the sponsor to be used for set pieces, showroom, etc and meant to be extensively documented in multiple locations for publicity purposes. Otherwise, why would they give you money to make a computer?

I think they also do it for pure advertisement purposes sometimes. I cant imagine that all of the linus media group servers are going on tour to seagate conventions...
