sign up for NIL
MARKETPLACES
NIL marketplaces are safe platforms that facilitate NIL activity.
I’m here to help you efficiently sign-up for a few of my favorite marketplaces (actually worth joining).
1. Pick a profile pic
A sports photo where you can clearly see your face is great. Save it in a place where you can easily upload it to multiple websites.
2. Social Handles
Have your social media handles and log-in information ready to go, so you can connect your accounts to each marketplace.
3. Write a short bio
Save it to copy and paste.
Here’s a template you can use…
I’m [Name], a student-athlete on the [school] [sport] team.
[Message you hope to share and/or content you like to create]
[3+ hobbies or interests that could match you with brands]
[Any other relevant information]
EXAMPLE (MY BIO)
I’m Leah, a gymnast at the University of Florida. I hope to share a message of playfulness in sport, and I enjoy creating content that inspires people to live vibrant, healthy lives.
You’ll often find me cooking up healthy vegetarian eats and jamming to my favorite music. I am fascinated by investing and tech, and I enjoy traveling and immersing myself in new cultures and experiences. Adventure and opportunity are always calling!
4. Register
Here are 5 trusted marketplaces to get you started. They’re all free to sign up for!
Marketplaces are great because they streamline the sponsorship process and connect you with brands that are actually interested in working with athletes. They’re safe and easy to use.
In reality, over 90% of my NIL activities have taken place outside of NIL marketplaces.
Keep your expectations intact Registering is like “entering the arena.” It does NOT guarantee NIL opportunities. Today, put yourself where awesome NIL deals can happen!
Explore each platform periodically and apply for any campaigns you’re interested in!
wow - you're a rockstar100%
YOU’RE ALREADY WINNING!
CONGRATULATIONS! You just took your first steps toward NIL success.
Now, just keep an eye on your inbox! I’ll send along more free resources to help you build your brand and get great sponsorship deals. Stay tuned!
