Tell people who do not live in tech
The readers are curious adults. Many of them feel new to AI. They trust a calm voice that does not talk down, and they can spot a disguised ad.
The audience, in plain words
Global English. Not a developer list. People reading on a phone before work, or with a cup of tea. They came for a five-minute explanation of something that might touch their family, their photos, their money, or their letters.
What a sponsor gets
- One slot in the daily briefing, in the email and on the website.
- The word Sponsored, always, in text. Colour is not the only clue.
- A short message in the same plain voice as the rest of the note, so it does not feel like a different website.
What we will not do
- Hide an ad inside a story.
- Hand over the email list. Sponsors never receive reader addresses.
- Use fear, fake urgency, or "people who skip this lose out" copy.
- Let a sponsor rewrite the news.
Beehiiv's ad network can also place offers. Those still have to wear the Sponsored label. The referral program, if it is switched on, is a friend's code, not a points game on this website.
