Influencer Marketing and Earning Money on the Extreme and Other Sports

The monotony of life, interest in a new sport, making dreams come true, or good material to share with friends are just a few of the many reasons why followers willingly engage in the athlete's profile. The most desirable influencers are those who interweave their profession with earning opportunities on social media. Rare abilities that require a lot of effort, money or time to study mean that not everyone can afford them. It is even more worth monetizing your passion. The question of how to earn money on the extreme is, however, quite unusual, and the answers may differ depending on the influencer's expectations.

We will show you a few examples of athletes who successfully combine their sports and influencer careers.

Today, he has countless awards, including the aforementioned 7 World Champion titles. In the course of his career development, he suffered an injury that forced him to spend most of his time on rehabilitation. During the break from the competition, Wojciech founded a company producing Navia motorboats. His first project, Navia One, won the award for the best debut at the Boat Show in Łódź and the prestigious award of the Machina Design monthly.
