2. Direct sponsorships — Create ad slots for businesses to book, or browse and apply to campaigns created by businesses. Set your own pricing and negotiate deals.
3. Cross-promotions — Partner with other newsletters to grow each other's audiences. Feature another newsletter and earn per verified new subscriber. See Cross-Promotions.
4. Affiliate links — Generate trackable links for products in our advertiser network and earn commission on every sale you drive. No applications required.
