Advertiser questions

How many sponsors run in a single issue?

One primary and up to two secondary slots. We cap it there so every placement gets real attention instead of competing with a wall of ads.

Do you write the ad copy?

Yes, at no extra cost. Send us the offer, the audience you want, and the link. We draft the block in the voice of the brief and you approve it before send.

What reporting do we get?

Sends, unique opens, and unique clicks as reported by our delivery provider, plus a plain language read on what the numbers mean. Newsletter reports land within 72 hours, evergreen placements report monthly. We do not publish benchmark averages we cannot substantiate.

Can we get a guaranteed number of clicks?

No. We do not sell guaranteed clicks or impressions, and we do not quote performance benchmarks we cannot substantiate from verified reporting.

Which categories do you turn down?

Anything that needs us to overstate a claim. We also pass on crypto trading offers, engagement pods, and tools built to mass publish undisclosed AI content.

How far out is inventory booked?

Newsletter slots typically book four to six weeks ahead. Guide and course sponsorships run on monthly and quarterly starts, so the earliest start is usually the first of the coming month.

Do you offer package pricing?

Yes. Three or more issues take 10 percent off, a quarter of combined newsletter and guide placement takes 15 percent. Custom research is always quoted as a package.
