Land your first sponsor in 10 minutes

Step one

Create your account and start your trial

Sign up at app.sponsorgap.com — no credit card needed. Your 7-day trial gives you full access to everything.

• Full sponsor database with 25,000+ brands
• Verified contact info for decision-makers
• Outreach pipeline, marketplace, and competitor alerts
• All filters, exports, and integrations

Step two

Search for sponsors in your niche

Go to the Sponsors tab and search by industry, keyword, or audience size. Look for brands that are actively sponsoring newsletters similar to yours.

Step three

Research a brand before you pitch

Open any sponsor profile to see their full history — which newsletters they've sponsored, how often, and at what audience size. This tells you exactly how to position your pitch.

Step four

Send your first pitch

Get the contact email directly from the sponsor profile. Write a short, specific pitch — reference their existing sponsorships, mention your audience size and niche overlap, and include your rate card or media kit.

Step five

Track your outreach in the pipeline

Add every brand you've pitched to the Outreach Pipeline. Move them through stages — Contacted → Replied → Negotiating → Closed — so you always know what needs a follow-up.

• Add notes to each deal (what you sent, when, what they said)
• Set follow-up reminders so nothing falls through the cracks
• Filter by stage to focus your daily energy
• Export your pipeline as CSV for your CRM or VA

Step six

Set up alerts so you never miss an opportunity

Turn on competitor monitoring to get notified when new brands sponsor newsletters in your niche. These are warm leads — the budget is active and the brand is already buying.

• Go to Alerts and add your niche keywords or competitor newsletter names
• Get email notifications when a new sponsor appears
• Add the brand directly to your outreach pipeline from the alert
