Patrocinios de newsletter: cómo conseguirlos y cuánto cobrar

Frequently asked

When am I ready to sell sponsorships?

When you have a clearly defined audience, a consistent open rate above 35–40 %, and a list large enough that a $300–$500 ad makes sense for a sponsor. Below that, focus on growth and engagement; sponsorships at 500 subscribers are not worth the time.

How should I price an ad slot?

Standard CPM math: cost per thousand opens, $30–$80 depending on niche. Premium niches (B2B, fintech, AI) command higher; broad consumer lists sit lower. Always quote based on opens, not subscribers — open-rate honesty is what sponsors check.

How do I land the first sponsors?

A clean sponsor page with audience, open rate, sample placement and pricing, plus direct outreach to 20 brands that already advertise in similar newsletters. Imitation of working sponsors is the fastest path; cold-pitching brands that have never advertised is the slow path.

How do I keep ads from hurting opens?

One sponsor per issue, native voice (you write the copy, not the brand), and a clear line between editorial and sponsored. Newsletters die when readers stop trusting what’s in them — protect the read, and the ad economy works for years.
