Iron Bizz - The Business of the Female Physique Athlete

**dallas3** · 07-08-2010, 01:48 PM

Hey Everyone,

I've decided to start up a blog about the business side of being a female competitor. This is for all of you in bodybuilding, fitness, figure, and bikini. I plan on collaborating with those that truly know the business and have been successful as well as seeking feedback out there on what you want to see.

Please don't hesitate to comment on here, the site, or PM me with thoughts and ideas.

Here's the link to the site: http://ironbizz.wordpress.com/

Seeing and hearing about how different women out there were always asking how to get sponsorships and better promoted. A lot of competitors that would like to make this a career in some fashion.

I define the business side as promotion, sponsorships, creating your brand, modeling, agents/managers, creating a portfolio, booth work, being in the media, things of that nature.

Great idea! I work as an agent for minor league hockey players and I am always wondering about the business side of the physique world. Best of luck to your new venture.
