Thanks for the feedback! I've thought a lot about sponsors and ads, but I don't know where I would find people who want want to sponsor a newsletter on archaeology/ancient news. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears!

Museums?

Museums are presumably gonna be interested in getting people to visit them, and 1000 people isn't really a high enough number to guarantee a significant amount of them will be local to the museum and able/interested in visiting. Maybe history/archaeology podcasts, or websites/blogs would be interested in some plugs or ad placements maybe? Those aren't restricted by locale.

Thanks! Yeah, I think that's my best bet sponsorship-wise. I don't think it's big enough yet, though. I've reached out to a few youtubers and podcasters, but haven't heard back from any of them. Oddly, I also reached out to some about advertising on their channels, and I didn't hear back about that either. I'll keep trying!

Really appreciate the idea, but I agree with Zircom - they're too geo-restricted. Maybe if a museum had a course or online experience that I could advertise... Something to think about. Thanks!

Yeah you're right, this was a brainfart but after reconsidering that for 5 seconds it's clear to me this is too generic.

But since I didn't want to leave you hanging I thought about it a bit more and I came up with a list of websites that could potentially sponsor your newsletter. Sorry if this comes off as intrusive, this is just my brain not being able to let this go :)

1. Online antique stores: loveantiques.com / 1stdibs.com / rauantiques.com

2. (Online) magazines dedicated to classic art: minervamagazine.com / juxtapoz.com / artnews.com / theartnewspaper.com / artltdmag.com / aestheticamagazine.com (offers a subscription service)

3. Education dedicated to art: courtauld.ac.uk/study/ / corcoran.gwu.edu

I hope this helps!

Whoa, just saw this. Thanks so much! I can't believe how much time and thought you put into this — it's really really kind of you. You're awesome. I'll check these sites out :)
