Attached is a great article talking about student-athletes at the DII level, making money through NIL.
One of the inserts is highlighted below:
"Miller reached out to companies, saying he was a former DI golfer, offering to create videos to help sell products. His Instagram following was between 5,000-6,000 when he started. He was able to build a portfolio, which made him more appealing to other companies, and NIL business grew. He now has 8,700 followers and about 30 NIL deals."
....
This is a PERFECT way to pursue deals. Each student athlete must WORK to land these opportunities.
Within the Classroom section of this community, we will build out step-by-step plans, to help athletes land these partnerships.
