Adsly - direct sponsorships & monetization marketplace

I built Adsly to help creators and founders monetize their audience without relying on ad networks. After running multiple side projects and seeing negligible results from traditional ads, I wanted a simpler, more transparent way to connect people who have an audience with those looking to promote their products.

Adsly is a marketplace where publishers can list monetization opportunities such as sponsorships, ads, partnerships or custom collaborations. Advertisers can browse relevant opportunities and contact publishers directly to negotiate deals - no commissions, no intermediaries and no platform involvement in transactions.

It's designed for niche projects: apps, newsletters, blogs, communities, directories, podcasts and other creator-led products that don't fit well into traditional ad networks.

The platform focuses on simplicity, transparency and direct collaboration. Publishers control their pricing and formats, while advertisers discover opportunities that align with their audience and goals.

Adsly is live and still early-stage. I’m mainly looking for feedback on the concept, UX, and whether this approach to monetization makes sense for indie creators and founders.

Thanks for checking it out 🙌
