High commission fees and lack of control in ad networks for creators
MarketingSaaSSalesTechnologyWeb

Description

Creators such as newsletter writers, podcasters, bloggers, and app developers face significant challenges when trying to monetize their content through sponsorships. Traditional ad networks take large cuts of the revenue, leaving creators with a smaller portion of the earnings. Additionally, finding direct sponsorship deals involves cold outreach and awkward pricing negotiations, with no centralized platform to list and manage sponsorship opportunities effectively.

I built a zero-commission sponsorship marketplace for creators and brands

**What it does:** Adsly is a marketplace where creators (newsletter writers, podcasters, bloggers, app developers) can list their sponsorship opportunities and get discovered by brands looking for authentic partnerships. **The problem:** Ad networks take huge cuts and give creators little control. Finding direct sponsorship deals means cold outreach, awkward pricing negotiations and no centralized place to list what you offer. **How it works:** * Creators list their ad slots with pricing (CPM, CPC, flat rate, etc.) * Brands browse, filter by category/traffic/price and reach out directly * Zero commission - creators keep 100% of the deal **Key features:** * Advanced search with filters (category, language, ad type, traffic volume, price range) * GDPR-compliant analytics (views, clicks, conversions) * Freemium model: free tier (3 listings) + Pro at $15/mo for unlimited * Credit system to feature listings or skip moderation queue Would love feedback - especially from newsletter/podcast creators who've dealt with monetization pain points.
