working booths at expo's

[lilarnold]

just curious how you get this gig at the various shows? does it pay or is it voluntary?

seems like it would be a good way for an amatuer to get some connections in the industry:st:r-wars

most the guys i see at the booths are the guys in the magazines with the before and after pictures...and yeah that would be great exposure to work a booth man

I just signed a contract regarding "appearances" It depends on who you sign with. My contract has requirements of 3/yr and you're paid $1,000 per appearance if you do at least 3/yr. They also pay your travel expenses and food up to $100/day. But there is more work involved then working the booth if you're a sponsored athlete, as well as other benefits.

if its some thing you're interested in just start competing and applying with companies, I was scouted and I never have competed.

cool dave!

i actually have competed but i need to do it more.

i was thinking more along the lines of all the people at the booths that look as if they dont even train....if they could work a booth im sure i could...i am much bigger and leaner than alot of people i see working them.

I actually got mine through a friend....

He called me up and ask if I wanted to work a show with him behind the booth. I made 150.00 a day and got put up in a nice hotel. From then on, I was in there. Not to mention the surplus supplements you get to take home.

So a lot of it comes down to who you know...
