Sponsor a newsletter issue

Each newsletter issue carries one clearly labeled sponsor message with your logo, tagline and link. You pay once per issue, not monthly.

  1. Sign in and open "Newsletter" in the sidebar. It appears once your sponsor account exists and the newsletter is open for sponsorship.
  2. Select "Sponsor an upcoming issue" and complete the Stripe Checkout. The price per issue is shown on the page.
  3. Your slot appears in the table below with its status. Once the issue is sent, the "Clicks" column shows how many readers clicked through.

Slot statuses

"Awaiting payment": checkout was started but not finished.

"Paid — will be placed in an upcoming issue": paid, waiting for the next issue to be scheduled.

"Assigned to [issue] (not sent yet)": placed in a named issue that has not gone out.

"Sent in [issue]": the issue went out. Clicks are counted from here on.

  • The message uses your sponsor logo, tagline and link from the "Creative" page.
  • If the page says newsletter sponsorship "isn't open right now", existing slots are unaffected and still listed.

Paid placement never changes anyone's eligibility results. Read the advertising policy.
