HOWEVER you will want to make forums, and a application for people to request to join. Get at least 100 members on the site, before contacting possible sponsors also. This show's them that people want to be part of the clan. That it's a popular clan and this means more publicity for the sponsor.

Keep track of your record it show's possible sponsors you are serious about your gaming and that you care about how well you do and how bad you do. That you want to improve where you can, and improve were you're already good. Also get a Rival Clan, a Clan that is challenging for you to beat, and keeps you on top of your game, try to have a clan battle 4 times a week, and only battle the rival's once a week the rest of the days other clans. Do a Variety of things, don't just primary sniper, get people that are well rounded gamers and can use team work, this show's your clan can get along, and work together even in tough moments and come out on top. Always have a Good spirit, don't trash talk, and respect other gamers this show's you have class, because if you get sponsored and you're clan get's known for trash talking and not how they play or act well that also looks bad on you're sponsor. Member count, have around 20 members, this show's that people want to be in your clan and if anyone leave's you have plenty of people to keep the clan going and it won't just be put on hold.

A Sponsorship is when you're offering to help a company in an area they specializes in, but you're helping them get known in places other than the web, where they may only be able to get any customers, you're increasing there shot at profit, and becoming a popular site for buying a product, and you represent them, they like this because well you're like a sale's men, and in re-turn for this, they reward you once and awhile with a product or some kind of prize, maybe it's web hosting. Something that they choose.

Go on Search engines and type in a product of a the gaming console you are on, and then pick the first 10 you see, browse the site, find information, make sure the site is legitimate, then find the sponsorship application page, fill out the forum and wait for an email, the email's can take up to 3 weeks. If you do not receive one within 4 weeks, this means that the sponsor is not interested in you. Make sure you have a email such as
yourclanname @ yahoo.com or hotmail, what ever you prefer but that also looks better, and make sure you end each email with

Thanks for your time

-Clan name

that shows them respect. That looks good on you, that means you're well manored.

Lastly, do not try to get sponsored by the same people over and over.
