Do the sponsors pay you cash, or free product? Did you actively reach out to them, or did they contact you when you got big enough?

  Cash, and I reached out at first.

    How did you reach out to them? Like, did you reach out to their marketing department? Hoew did you get their contact info?

      Yep, marketing departments. No one trick to finding the right person: research, asking around, very polite cold emails, etc. I also made it clear in my newsletter and on my website website that I was looking for advertisers. I've written about various parts of the process in a few of my month-in-review posts here: https://www.indiehackers.com/blog https://www.indiehackers.com/blog

    Thanks. I'm confused why you don't take sponsorships/payments now.. you mentioned Stripe - what does that have to do with it?
