What is Looking For Sponsor?

- We provide a platform for custom sponsorship posting and payment. If you have a unique sponsorship opportunity that you want sponsors all around the world to see, post it on our website! Companies and brands search LFS to find sponsorship marketing opportunities; when they find something that interests them, they can pay you directly through our platform.

How do I change my profile name?
Your profile name is the name displayed in your public profile and at the bottom of all your sponsorship opportunity posts.
You must be signed in to change your profile name. Once you've signed in, select the "My Account" option in the dropdown menu at the top right hand corner of the Looking For Sponsor site. In the box titled Public Profile, click the edit button. Then simply enter your new name and click the save button.
How do refunds work?
As described in our code of conduct, we require that sponsorship creators accurately and honestly describe their opportunities. There are, of course, situations where a sponsorship creator and sponsor might decide that a contribution should be refunded. When this is the case, sponsorship creators can use our platform to refund sponsorship contributions.
Before reading further, please note that our refund policies only apply if you have made a payment through our system. If you purchase a sponsorship off-platform (e.g., via Cash App, Venmo, check, or cash) we cannot assist you in any way with refunding that purchase.
We recommend that sponsors seek refunds before the 1st of the month following their payment. After this date has passed, we cannot guarantee that a refund will be possible as funds will have been paid out to the sponsorship creator.
If a sponsor believes that the sponsorship they purchased is fraudulent or misleading, they should first ask for a refund from the sponsorship creator. As a last resort, sponsors can file a report with the Looking For Sponsor team.
If a sponsorship creator is found to post intentionally fraudulent opportunities, their account will be immediately banned, disabled, and/or deleted. The Looking For Sponsor team will determine if a post is intentionally fraudulent or accidentally misleading on a case by case basis and will take appropriate action based on their judgement.
How do I post an opportunity?
After signing in, navigate to the opportunities page by select the "opportunities" option in your navbar. Click the "new" button at the top of the page to post an opportunity.
Before you can post sponsorship opportunities, you also need to set up your account to accept payments. This makes it possible for companies to pay you directly from your Looking For Sponsor post.
How do I make sure my post gets found by potential sponsors?
There are a few ways you can get your sponsorship opportunity post seen by potential sponsors:
- Create a bizb.io and put your bizb.io link in your social media bios, video descriptions, etc.
- Share a link to your post via social media, text message, email, and other communication platforms

How do I convince companies to sponsor my opportunity?

How much should I charge for my sponsorship opportunity?
If you're trying to figure out how much you should charge companies/brands for sponsorships, read the sponsorship pricing section in our how to get sponsored.
Can I post opportunities for another person or organization?
No, you cannot post opportunities for another person or organization. While we have allowed this behavior in the past, we chose to disallow it moving forward to remove opportunities for fraud and reduce confusion on the part of sponsors.
Remember that sponsorship creators cannot impersonate another person/organization and cannot accept payments on behalf of a person/organization without their express consent. See our code of conduct for further information.
