Newsletter sponsorships that pay
You’ve built a list of people who open, read and trust what you send. ZOMZEY connects you with brands who want newsletter writers, you pitch only for the work that fits, and you get paid properly and securely.
Every paid collaboration arranged through ZOMZEY should be clearly labelled as an ad, as explained in the Advertising Standards Authority’s guide to making clear that ads are ads.

Your subscribers chose to hear from you. Let's get you paid for it.
A newsletter audience is one of the most valuable things a Influencer can build, an owned, engaged list that actually opens your emails. But monetising it well is harder than it looks: finding good sponsors, setting fair rates, and chasing deals all take time away from writing. We think your list deserves better. On ZOMZEY, brands come looking for newsletter writers and post real paid opportunities, and you pitch for the ones that fit your newsletter and your readers. No cold outreach, no undervaluing, no chasing.
How it works for newsletter writers
It’s simple. Browse opportunities from brands wanting the kind of subscribers you’ve built. Found one that fits? Send your pitch, explain why your newsletter is the right home for it, and name your price. If they choose you, you write the feature in your own voice, and you get paid securely through the platform. You choose what to pitch for, you set your rate, and you only take on work that fits your readers.
What makes ZOMZEY different
You never pitch blind. Every brand on ZOMZEY is verified, and the money’s held by ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you send, so you know the work is real and funded. No ghosting, no chasing payment. And dispute cover means you’re never on your own. We built ZOMZEY so newsletter writers get paid fairly, because your readers trust you, and that trust is worth protecting.

Newsletter sponsorships: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for newsletter sponsorships?
Yes. Joining is free, browsing and pitching are free, and commission is only taken when a paid deal completes. Influencer Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure. Nothing is charged for being found or for sending an offer, which is all it costs to start taking newsletter sponsorships.
How do newsletter sponsorships get paid?
The brand funds the deal under Protected Payments before you send. You publish the agreed feature or placement, upload evidence of the sent issue, and the payment is released to your payout method once the brand approves it within the review window. No invoices, no chasing, and the written agreement on the deal page settles what was promised.
Do newsletter sponsorships need to be labelled?
Yes. A paid feature or placement is advertising in the UK, so mark it clearly in the issue where readers see it, not only in a footer. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains what counts, and clear labelling is what keeps your open rates, your readers’ trust and your reviews worth having.
What should I charge for newsletter sponsorships?
Price by subscribers, open rate and click rate, the position of the placement (a headline sponsor, a classified or a dedicated send) and the number of issues the brand wants. The free Influencer Pricing Calculator gives a starting range for creator content, and a rate card with starting prices lets brands book you quickly.
What evidence do I upload for newsletter sponsorships?
A link to the web version of the issue or a dated screenshot showing the placement and its label, and the figures the offer promised, such as sends, opens or clicks after the agreed period. Evidence lives on the deal page, so the brand approves against what you both agreed rather than from memory. Keep the same evidence habit for every one of your newsletter sponsorships.
How do I win more newsletter sponsorships?
Complete your profile with a main image, a country and your packages, connect your accounts so your figures are validated, describe your readers honestly, pitch only for opportunities that genuinely fit your list, and deliver on time. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what brands compare when they shortlist writers for newsletter sponsorships.
Do I need to register as self-employed for newsletter sponsorships?
Income from sponsored issues is usually taxable. GOV.UK explains when to register as self-employed and the trading allowance that covers small amounts; the ZOMZEY payout record gives you the figures you need.
In short, newsletter sponsorships work when the brief fits your readers and the payment is protected. ZOMZEY brings the brands to you, records the deal and holds the money until you have delivered.
What you list
A clearly labelled advertising slot, saying where it sits in the issue and what the fee covers. Never sell an editorial recommendation presented as if it were unpaid.
