Been thinking it might be time to up prices! The slots have been sold out months in advance so it's hard to factor in growth when booking. I do pause new sponsors from time to time when I book out too far to give myself a chance to reevaluate.
Did these sponsors just start contacting you inbound or did you do cold outreach?
All have been inbound with the exception of one sponsor who I thought would be a perfect fit for the audience. They agreed and bought two slots.

Yes, actually! I have bought a few things after seeing them showcased in some workspaces.
I have also bought some artwork that a few of the featured guests created - partly to support/thank them and partly because I loved the art.

#84What's your process for securing sponsors for the newsletter? How is the sponsor slot integrated into the email?
Every month or so I add a short blurb at the beginning of a newsletter asking for sponsors and laying out my current metrics. This always leads to multiple readers replying with interest. The typical sponsor has gone on to book 4 slots at a time (I do not offer a bulk discount - this is just what they tend to do). The slot is integrated right after the intro blurb and before the guest's content. I offer them a headli…

#86Just curious, would you feature an absolute trainwreck of a setup like [0] if the owner submitted it or do you intend on keeping it strictly upper middle class?

#87It looks like you are up to 175 posts of various workspaces. I didn't look at each one, but all the ones I saw were nicely staged, organized workspaces. Did you get any submissions for 'real workspaces' with stacks of books, papers all over the place, and sticky-notes all around the monitors? If you did, did you reject them? I too, have a newsletter that I started last year about data management. I only have about a…
I won't presume to speak for the owner of this newsletter, but I do receive it, and I'd just say: "I don't want to see messy spaces." The whole point of seeing other people's workspaces is for inspiration – what are ways I could organize my desk, what are some neat things I might want to add, what tech is out there I could purchase to make me like my workspace better. My workspace sometimes look messy, but I always clean up before people come over, so it's kinda the same thing here? I'm sure lots of these folks let their workspaces look lived-in normally, but that's not what we're here for.

I think the point of the newsletter is to showcase workspaces at home that really work for those doing creative things. It doesn't have to be an expensive setup or a super clean environment, but it should be functional for the task at hand. Just throwing an old computer on top of a garbage heap doesn't do anything for me!

Exactly. I have and will feature all spaces but I think the nature of the audience and who I reach out to for their setup tends to direct the content in a certain direction.
