Is there a service that pitches brands to sponsor my newsletter for me?
Yes, but few exist. Book a Sponsor emails the brands that sponsored newsletters like yours at 10¢ per email with no minimum. SponsorGap's managed plans do outbound from $999 a month plus a 10% success fee, and BuySellAds' Carbon team pitches publishers' inventory after you apply. Most other platforms wait for brands to find you.
We make Book a Sponsor, number 1 below. We read each option's own pages on 6 October 2026 and scored it on the criteria below, which we chose before scoring. We didn't sign up for or test the others, and each links to its source.

Book a Sponsor
Outreach service · our product
Paste your newsletter and it lists the brands that sponsored similar newsletters, finds the person who buys the ads and drafts the pitch, then emails them for you. $150 to $300 for 30 days at the default 50 new brands a day.
- Where it falls short
- The pitches are cold email, so most brands won't answer, and each reply still needs you to close the deal. At the default 50 new brands a day it costs $5 a day, up to $10 with follow-ups, weekends included, so the $20 credit lasts 2 to 4 days. It takes no bookings or payments and works for newsletters only.
