I got my first full-month sponsor and I need your opinion 🫠

Hey indie hackers,

I got our first full month sponsorship for our website Launchpedia for march month and I need your opinion to know if it’s doing good.

Here’s how it started:

Getwaitlist reached out to us in the last week of February for promoting their tool on the LaunchPedia website.

They booked a full site promotion for the whole month of March for $196.

It was a special day for us as it was our first sponsor who booked for the entire month since we started working on launchpedia.

Our website visitors are mainly startup founders & marketers so Getwaitlist found our website to be a perfect match for featuring their tool.

How did it perform?

Today as of 15th of March, we are exactly in the middle of the month.

Which means they have spent $98 for 15 days.

Here are the numbers of how their ad performed on our site:

Clicks: 343
$ Spent per click/ CPC: 0.28

So, What do you think?

I need your opinion on if the ad performance is good since this is my first full month sponsorship I received for Launchpedia.

Is $0.28 CPC comparable to ad costs on other platforms?

Let me know in the comments.

    It's not really about the cost per click, but how many leads/conversions they get from those clicks. Good job though!

      Yeah, makes sense. This is what we can track from our side, we can get the number of leads and conversions from their side once the campaign is over.

    Hey there, congrats on landing your first full-month sponsor! That's a great milestone for Launchpedia.

    As for the $0.28 CPC, it seems like a pretty good rate compared to many advertising platforms. Of course, it can vary depending on the industry and target audience, but I think you're off to a good start. One thing to consider is how well the clicks are converting for Getwaitlist. If they're happy with the results and ROI, then it's a win-win situation for both parties.

    Keep up the great work, and I hope this partnership leads to even more sponsorship opportunities for your website! 🚀

      Yeah, that makes sense. And thanks buddy 🤗

    Congratulations on your first full month sponsorship! I have no experience advertising in this specific niche, so I can't tell you for sure, but it seems like 0.28 cpc is very good in general.

    As someone who's interested in offering sponsorships myself in the future, I'm curious how you're tracking clicks on your sponsor's ad. Are you using any tool for that or is it manually built-in your website?

    Again, congratulations!

      Thanks a lot Karla 🤗

      We are using Pretty link (WordPress plugin) to track the link clicks

        Thanks Karthik! More success to your platform 💸
