@foundingmom One of our most dedicated users!! have loved working with you and very happy to see all the value you're gaining from the product so far :)
@jake_schonberger1 @planetjy Woo thanks Janet!! I know you tagged the other Jake..but, I don't care!! mwahahahahaha
@planetjy Thank you planet Janet!!! Awaiting to get your newsletter on here :) Will be on the lookout
Thanks @paul_metcalfe - appreciate your support of this product from the beginning :)
Fantastic idea! Will check this out!
Can brands select / approve specific writers? Or it’s all or nothing?
@laurent_malka Right now, brands can select, approve, and decide to work with writers if you're sponsoring them directly. However, P & P deals are open for all writers on Swapstack.
I think this is an interesting question/problem to consider. Thanks for that, Laurent. :)
Woah, this is super useful. This will save a lot of time trying to manually become affiliates of multiple products. Going to check this out soon!
@kavirkaycee I'm sure you'll find it super useful. It's so easy and empowering. Now, no writer has to ever send a newsletter without a sponsor!
@kavirkaycee Yayy! Cannot wait for you to check it out and monetize "The Discourse" 😉
This would save so much time doing back and forth finding and negotiating between publishers and brands. Great job!
@welly_mulia Thanks so much, Welly! :) Would be awesome to have BirdSend as a brand on Swapstack!
@learnwithvidya We don't sell sponsor spaces in our emails, but have included Swapstack to the list of newsletter marketplace in our email marketing guide:

I'm sure newsletter writers and founders will be delighted with this update! Great work guys 👏🏼
@mikecardona_ Thank you, Mike! Whole team has done a great job in bringing new brands to help monetize newsletter creators.
Would love for you to join and use P & P 😉 I was also wondering if you had started monetizing your newsletter?
Aahh.. this has come at the right time. I am creating my own newsletter and it will be amazing to use this.
Love what you all doing. All the best @learnwithvidya and team for this fab product.
@learnwithvidya @sachin_ramje Amazing! What is your newsletter going to be about?
@tim_masek
Hey Tim,
It's for all newsletters and for any Email Service Provider you're using (like Mailchimp, Emailoctopus, Substack, Revue, etc)!
Once you join Swapstack, you can navigate to Plug & Play page where you see a bunch of brands that are pre-approved to run on your newsletters.
Select a brand and click on "Details". You'll get a link to their "creative assets" and your own "personalized link" to use on your newsletter :)
We report metrics once a month :)
Does that answer your question?
Only available to uses in the US :/
I guess that's due to Stripe Connect limitations?
@andrew_davison Hi Andrew! Yes, sadly, though I'll note this limitation only applies to the writer side. Brands from anywhere can participate!
We are looking into workarounds and will be working on those in the coming weeks!
@andrew_davison @jake_singer It was a little disappointing to only find out about this after I had already connected my existing Stripe account.
You couldn't even see the offers to know if it was worth it before then
@jake_singer @andybeard - I agree. It would be nice to at least browse the offers available, even if I can't yet sign up for them.
@andybeard @andrew_davison that's super valuable feedback - @jake_schonberger1 FYI!
Totally agree with this, we should fix that. FYI Andy, you can disconnect your Stripe account anytime - lmk if you need help with this!
Meant to tag @andybeard too - we're working on a fix to this right now. Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience!
Congratulations on the launch. Earlier Swapstack broughy 4,5 sponsors and now this is game changing as newsletter writers are struggling finding sponsors in post-pandemic world.
@falak_sher Very true! This enables writers to fill their slots in the last min :) When I first saw this feature on Swapstack, I didn't even know I would face this problem sooner or later.
Would love to know about your experience if you've used it :)
Fantastic founding team, fantastic product. Any newsletter publisher or any brand looking to reach highly engaged audiences should be spending time on Swapstack. Simple as that.
@patrick_trousdale Woot! Been great having you on board and appreciate your early support both as a brand and as a writer.
@victor_lei1 @learnwithvidya Thanks Vic, have really enjoyed working with you over the past couple of months :)
Wow! this is going to be a game-changing thing for the writers. So excited to see how this rolls out. Congratulations and all the best team 🚀🤝
@riten_debnath Thank you, Riten! :)
Any plans to monetize Fueler newsletter 😅 or join as a brand on Swapstack? 🙂
@riten_debnath Thank you! We're super excited too. This is gonna be awesome!
@shivenigma @anangsha_ Haha would love to read your newsletter if you ever start one, Vignesh! :)
@anangsha_ @learnwithvidya Thanks Vidya. Still figuring out what I should write about. You'll probably be among the first few I message if I started one. :)
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 👋
The Swapstack team (@jake_singer, @nicolas_ordonez, @anangsha_ & @learnwithvidya) and I are SO excited to launch this product to help support the creator economy.
TL:DR: Swapstack is a newsletter advertising platform that helps brands connect with writers to run paid sponsorships. Our new product, Plug & Play, enables all creators to have access to pre-approved affiliate deals anywhere anytime!!
What is Plug & Play?
💰 Plug & Play is Swapstacks pre-approved affiliate program!
🤝 We've curated a list of 15 brands as our Launch Partners, who have pre-approved Swapstack writers to run affiliate deals.
As a writer, this enables you to have immediate access to high quality, high-pay out affiliate deals for your newsletter. As a result - you should never have to run a newsletter without a sponsor ever again.
🥰 Why did we build this?
For Writers: As a team completely made up of creators and newsletter writers, we know from experience that monetization is a taxing, difficult process. Giving writers the option to ALWAYS have a sponsor at the ready is a game-changer for any creator looking to ensure consistent revenue.
For Brands: Gives brands the ability to activate their affiliate deals across many writers at once. If you have an affiliate program and want to work with writers, let us know!
🚉 How it works!
Plug & Play is extremely simple to use as a writer looking to monetize:
Create a Swapstack account here: app.swapstack.co
Toggle to the "Plug & Play" tab and choose a brand or publisher you'd want to work with.
Use your personalized link & some of the suggested creative to build an ad that resonates with your users.
Run the newsletter!
Get paid for every conversion you drive.
🚀 Does it work?!
It DOES! See some of our stats from our beta tests:
Over 600 conversions driven
$5000+ earned
@cvas from The Daily Coach banked over $1,200 working with multiple Plug & Play brands! Raking it in.
Swapstack is FREE for writers. We're working hard to ensure any and all creators have plenty of opportunities to monetize their work.
❤️ Thank you!
We'd love any feedback from this community, and are very open to collaboration for anyone interested in connecting. Thank you so much for your attention...we hope to work with you soon!
Shout out to legendary @andreasklinger for hunting us!
Thank you all!
Team Swapstack
@jake_schonberger1 P & P played a big role in monetizing my newsletter since I'm still a small newsletter writer with < 1000 subs.
I hope this helps more newsletter writers to monetize quickly! 🙌🚀
@jake_singer @nicolas_ordonez @anangsha_ @learnwithvidya @cvas @jake_schonberger1 This is incredible!!! Where was this a few years ago when I was trying to monitize email lists! Absolutely amazing.
@jake_singer @nicolas_ordonez @anangsha_ @cvas @jake_schonberger1 @stewup
Yayy! So glad you found this now :D
Would love to have you on Swapstack and help in any way we can :)
@jake_singer @nicolas_ordonez @anangsha_ @learnwithvidya @cvas @stewup Woot!!! So excited that you love the product. Hope you get back into the newsletter game and can help us iterate further :)
Amazing work @learnwithvidya so happy for you and congratulations on the product of the day!!
@learnwithvidya @vikas_shetty Very #blessed to have Vidya as part of the team. Thanks for the comment @vikas_sandha
Wow, now this looks like a really exciting opportunity to help curators get paid! Great work and contrgrualtions on the launch!
@jrosendesign Thank you Joel! Would love to chat about Paytable and Briefbox, see if there's any opportunity to collaborate. But yes agreed - potential game changer for creators looking to monetize!
@jrosendesign Hey Joel, thanks so much for the support! Yes, huge potential for curators here :)
