Profile Born and raised in north Alabama, I started fishing at an early age with my parents and grandparents on the local catfish ponds and the beautiful Smith Lake. After graduating from Winston County High School in 1986, I joined the U.S. Air Force as a Security Police member. In that career field I traveled the world, taking my passion for fishing to numerous countries including Honduras, Panama, Cuba, South Korea, Japan and the Azores. After spending over a decade in Florida where I fished the Gulf of Mexico, I returned to Alabama after a career change from Security Police to computer technician and have since retired from the Air Force after 20 years of dedicated service. The new career and location reignited my love for bass fishing on the numerous lakes and rivers of the south. From my initial foray into competitive bass fishing, I quickly established myself in the local and Regional tournament scene. My goal is to fish 12 months out of the year competing in a total of 24 local and Regional tournaments, with the primary goal to reach the Southeast Regional qualifier and then the National Championship tournament of the American Bass Anglers' American Fishing Tour. All totaling 100-150 days on the water, including practice days. My current rig consists of a 1999 GMC Sierra SLE Extended Cab truck & a 2007 Skeeter ZX190 bass boat. Both of which are a big part of my ability to promote you, as my family and I travel each year throughout the southeast.

I could assume, from the 48 views and no hacks, that the resume is fine.....I suppose :-\

One pointer. To me, the most important aspect you can provide is the TOTAL number of people who could possibly view your sponsors logo, in all marketing categories.
You begin by telling us how many page views and so on that UB has, and make mention of how many members and posts ABA has, but then you fall off in your details about the other areas.
Each category for marketing deserves it won calculation and specific numbers.
When I prepared my most recent proposal, I had nothing of a resume (didn't want one) and here's an example of how I calculated the possible number of impressions I could provide in one category.
EXAMPLE
Add your (sponsor) link in my signature. Currently I have over 2200 posts. UB currently has over 73,000 unique vistors each month. Thus providing the possibility of 876,000 views and that's if it is only seen one time. With over 2200 posts scattered in numerous categories it dramatically increases the possibilities of exposure for the sponsors.
Add your (sponsor) link in my outgoing emails. Currently I average sending out 147 emails per month. 12 x 147 = 1764.
POSSIBLE TOTAL EXPOSURES to help build brand awareness over the next 12 months= 877,764.
Now, keep in mind that only includes 2 tiny areas.
