FAQ
Sponsorship marketplace FAQ: fees, formats, and how deals work
What it costs, why we take 0% commission on your deals, which formats you can list, whether we ever hold your money, and what a minimum audience looks like. The honest answers creators and brands ask for first.
Sponsorships charges a flat membership and takes 0% commission on your deals. Unlike marketplaces that take 5 to 30% of every sponsorship, you keep 100% of what a brand pays you. Plans start at 12 dollars per month billed yearly for Starter, 29 dollars per month for the most popular Creator plan, and 79 dollars per month for Brands. The deal amount is always yours.
Podcasts, newsletters, YouTube and events, all in one profile. You can list podcast host-reads, newsletter primary slots, YouTube integrations and event packages side by side on the same rate card and manage every deal in the same pipeline, instead of using a separate tool for each channel.
No. Sponsorships is a marketplace that connects you with brands and gives you the tools to list your audience, get discovered, and close and manage deals. It does not guarantee deals or a specific income, and results depend on your audience, your niche and the rates you set. Any rate or CPM figures shown are illustrative examples, not a promise.
No. Payment happens directly between you and the brand. Sponsorships never touches the money, holds it in escrow, or takes a percentage of it. The flat membership is the only thing we charge, which is why you keep 100% of every deal.
No hard gate. Creators of every size list their audience and set their own rates. Micro creators with an engaged niche audience often close strong sponsorships, and brands can search by audience size to find exactly the fit they want.
No agency, no gatekeeper, no managed-service markup. You list your own audience and rates, brands browse and reach out to you directly, and you keep the relationship and the full deal amount. An agency controls the relationship and takes 15 to 30% of the deal. Sponsorships gives you the tools and gets out of the way.
Browse creators and audiences by niche, format and audience size, save shortlists, and reach out directly. Assemble a brief, agree the deal, and run every sponsorship, from podcast reads to newsletter slots to event packages, in one place instead of chasing separate creators across email and spreadsheets.
Yes. That is the point. A creator with a podcast, a newsletter and a YouTube channel lists all three on one profile and one rate card, and brands can book any of them. On the Creator plan there is no limit on how many listings or formats you add.
