Charmaine Hammond, a sponsorship expert, offered terrific advice for authors on how to get sponsors on "Write Your Book in a Flash with Dan Janal," which was named one of the Top 50 Podcasts for Thought Leaders by Thinkers360.com. The podcast is available on Audible

"Charmaine offered tremendous ideas and insights for authors," said Dan Janal, who has written more than a dozen books that have been translated into six languages.

Her  tips include:

• Sponsors want access to your audience.
• Sponsors are often more interested in engagement, not size of your audience. Get people engaged.
• Sponsors are savvy. They know if you purchased followers or if you had organic growth.
• Ask sponsors what they think would be meaningful for you to offer. Putting their logo on your website might not appeal to them. Take time to build a relationship with them, spend time asking questions to learn what matters to them and what type of recognition is meaningful to them.
• Sponsor decision makers receive pitches and proposals all year long, Charmaine shared an example of a sponsor that receives more than 400 proposals a year. You can stand out if you do research on LinkedIn to find common personal connections, build a relationship with them and learn what their objectives are. You can help the sponsor while they are helping you.
• Contact sponsors with LinkedIn, not email which feels spammy.
• Sponsorships must feel mutual. Look for the best-fit partnerships. There must be alignment with your brand.
