Justin Moore, the founder of The Creator Wizard, runs a newsletter helping creators:
Join 7K creators getting sponsorship deals
Hey – Mike here
There's a common misconception about newsletters and sponsorships. People believe you have no chance of getting sponsored unless you have thousands of subscribers. And maybe it used to be that way.
But now? Building in public has flipped things. Plus, it helps that the more niche your newsletter is, the more valuable.
One of my Twitter pals, Katt Risen, launched her newsletter not too long ago.
She'd made $525 from sponsors. Incredible!
Of course, it’s no surprise since her newsletter is excellent. I love experiments, and this was one I wanted to try. So, I followed in her footsteps and fired of the following Tweet...
The results?
Five booked sponsorships 🥳
It didn't take long for me to realize how tedious the entire sponsorship booking process was...
1. Create your booking page. I've included a template for you which you can view here.
2. When someone clicks to reserve your ad, they’re taken to an Airtable form. Sponsors add the details and the date they'd like to book.
3. The power behind having a database like Airtable is only available dates will be shown. You'll also be able to manage all your sponsors in a single location, like having a CRM.
4. After submitting the form, they’re redirected to Stripe to make the payment.
I got you covered!
As usual, this edition of the Busy to Leveraged Letters comes with the following:
You’ll need to be on a desktop to be able to install your free copy of the template. If you’re reading from a mobile device, bookmark this email (or the link above), so you can return to it later!
And if you need help or have questions, reply and let us know!
I hope this was helpful.
Chat next week!
Mike
