Frequently Asked Questions

Adsly is a sponsorship and monetization marketplace connecting brands with creators. If you run a newsletter, podcast, SaaS app, blog or any platform with an audience, you can list sponsorship opportunities and earn directly from brands. We charge 0% commission on deals - you publish your listing for free with the Adsly badge on your site, or with a one-time $9.99 fee (or an optional Pro subscription), and keep 100% of what brands pay you.

Opportunities are any way you can monetize your audience: newsletter sponsorships, podcast ads, logo placements in your SaaS app, banner ads on your blog, sponsored content, brand mentions, guest posts, affiliate partnerships and more. You create listings describing what you offer, set your prices and brands contact you directly to purchase.

Publishing a listing is free if you add the 'Featured on Adsly' badge to your website, or a one-time $9.99 payment with no badge required. Both include a dofollow backlink to your website (the paid one is permanent, the free one lasts as long as the badge stays up). Or go Pro ($15/mo) for unlimited listings with dofollow backlinks, email alerts, full stats and a free featured week every month. We charge 0% commission on your sponsorship deals - you keep 100% of what brands pay you.

When publishing a listing, pick the free option: copy the 'Featured on Adsly' badge code, add it to your website (footer or homepage work best), enter the page URL and we verify it instantly. The page must be on the same domain as your listing. Your listing then goes through the normal review. Keep the badge up to keep the dofollow backlink - we re-check about once a month. If it ever disappears the backlink just becomes nofollow (your listing stays live); put the badge back and click Validate on your dashboard to restore dofollow, or buy the permanent $9.99 upgrade to drop the badge for good.

You can feature any of your listings for 7 days ($4.99) or 30 days ($14.99) - featured listings are highlighted on the homepage and appear at the top of search results. Pro subscribers get 1 free featured week every month. You can also add featuring at a discount when publishing a new listing.

For creators with an audience: newsletter publishers, podcast hosts, SaaS/app founders, bloggers, YouTubers, community owners and anyone wanting to monetize through sponsorships. Also for brands seeking authentic, affordable sponsorship opportunities outside of traditional ad networks.

Sign up for free, create your listing describing your platform (newsletter, podcast, app, blog, etc.) and available sponsorship opportunities, set your prices and publish - for free with the Adsly badge on your website, or with the one-time $9.99 purchase (or subscribe to Pro).
