The process

I do not offer copywriting services for sponsors. You send copy no later than six days before your publication. I reserve the right to edit to match the voice of the newsletter as I see fit. No cancellations, rescheduling, or refunds are offered after a sponsorship has been booked. Your copy and landing page should reflect your voice, not mine, and shouldn’t imply any involvement from me with your business or service (beyond your ad placement). My name, image, logo, etc. cannot be featured on your landing page.

Tracking and results

I do not track performance metrics for sponsors. UTM tracking is the sole responsibility of each sponsor. Add your parameters to your link before you send copy so you can measure performance on your end. Results aren’t guaranteed. Performance depends on your copy, your offer, your landing page, the fit with my audience, etc.

Justin's audience delivered the highest-quality traffic and the best ROI of any newsletter sponsorship we've tested.
