When you running a contest is that possible to find third party to sponsor the contest? My question is as a return what should you pay back (for sure not in term of money  )? In what size before in order for you to start one?

You know, I've never thought about it. Can it be ... possible?

| If you have enough targeted traffic and offer them free advertising I'm sure you can find companies willing to donate a prize. I know of one site that has numorus sponsers every month for a contest and all they get in return is a small byline under the prize, she has a truckload of traiffc though so for them it's worth it for the exposure. |

yea, i've seen many forums get sponsored by other companies or bigger forums just for the advertising, they usually sponsor forums with a lot of members wand traffic as anncp stated, i've never really asked anyone for a sponsorship lol, never thought about it until now

The cost of a prize is often far less than they would have to pay for the same amount of exposure from paid advertising. I imagine this kind of sponsorship is common for companies but you need a lot of traffic as a publisher to benefit.

| You definitely should be able to. You might even be able to find smaller forums willing to sponsor some prizes so they can get some advertising. I know I'd be willing to do this for smaller prizes since it's difficult to get the word out myself for contest that I might try to run. |

But most sponsors will not be willing to do this if you have a very new or inactive forum.

thats true, forums with like 1000 members and 800 of them are active are sure to get sponsorships a lot easier than a 10,000 member forum and only 500 are active lol, or 100 members and 50 active, its about forum activity
