Frequently asked questions

What is included in a Launch Llama newsletter sponsorship?
A newsletter ad is a dedicated slot (text + link) in one send to 20,000 founders, with custom copy written for your tool and a performance report after it runs. It does not guarantee the #1 spot. LinkedIn and X promo are not included.
Who reads the Launch Llama newsletter?
Founders, developers, and tech leaders discovering practical B2B SaaS, AI tools, and productivity platforms. Readers work at companies like Google, Stripe, and Notion, as well as high-growth startups and scale-ups.
What results can I expect?
Results vary by offer and landing page, but sponsors typically see strong click-through rates (recent campaigns up to 9% CTR) and hundreds of qualified clicks per send. Many advertisers report 1.5–4.5× ROAS when their signup flow converts at industry-standard rates.
Do I need a Featured subscription to sponsor the newsletter?
No. Newsletter sponsorships are one-time purchases available to anyone. Featured Pro subscribers get a guaranteed monthly placement included in their plan.
What is the difference between a newsletter ad and an X post?
A newsletter ad ($200) is one send to 20,000 founders. An X post ($150) is one post from @LaunchLlamaHQ about your tool. They are separate purchases.
Do I need a Launch Llama listing first?
Yes. Newsletter ads promote a specific tool listing. Submit your tool to Launch Llama first (free), then purchase a sponsorship and select which listing to promote.
When will my ad run?
We confirm timing after purchase, usually in the next available weekly send. An X post is scheduled separately after we confirm copy.
Can I provide my own ad copy?
Yes. We can write copy for you or use your provided headline, body, and CTA. All copy is reviewed before send.
