1) Classifieds Grid
Run 4 to 8 short text placements at the end of each issue. Keep copy tight, add a one-line social proof, rotate fresh picks each week. Set a flat fee and keep a sticky “Waitlist” link in your footer.
2) Sponsored Feature
One featured block near the top, 80 to 120 words, with a crisp promise and one proof point. Share a short style guide so creative stays consistent. For a playbook brands already trust, peek at this ad network built by the Morning Brew team: This network fills inbox placements at scale.
3) Jobs or Gigs Slot
Curate one high-relevance role per issue. Keep it skimmable, add a salary range if the company allows it, and ask hiring managers for reader-only perks like priority review. Before you spin up a full board, read this candid post on the work behind running one: Before you launch a board, read this.
4) Affiliate Inserts
Feature tools you actually use, one per issue, with a quick “when to use” and “when not to use.” Include a setup tip or template, then link with your unique tracking URL. To find vetted SaaS programs, start here: Browse partners creators trust.

5) Reader Marketplace
Let readers buy and sell templates, prompts, audits, or tiny services through you. Take a small platform fee and feature two items per week. If you need a simple storefront, try this creator staple: Launch a simple storefront in an afternoon.
6) Boosted Cross-Post
Sell a “boost” where a partner’s resource is highlighted in your next issue and in a short social thread. Cap boosts per month to keep trust high. Share screenshots of real results so partners understand fit.
7) Data Drop
Publish a quarterly “what people clicked” recap, aggregated and anonymized. Turn it into a PDF with takeaways by theme, then add a bundle with swipeable copy blocks. Keep reader identities private and share only directional insights.
How to package it this week
Pick two formats from above, set simple one-page media notes, and pre-sell three slots to friendly brands. Keep turnaround tight, invoice with clear dates, and deliver a short proof-of-delivery email with links and screenshots.
