So excited that this is now available globally. Gonna try it out for my newsletter soon! https://thediscourse.substack.com Congratulations on the launch @learnwithvidya @jake_schonberger1 @jakesing 🚀

Congrats to the amazing Swapstack team! Thanks for adding so much value to the newsletter community :)

This product changed the way I monetized my newsletter and website. It's an absolute game changer for creators. Swapstack does all the work of finding great affiliate deals, and these deals save me the trouble of wasting time haggling over advertisement rates. Perfectly aligned incentives. 10/10 would recommend.

Love the platform and its support. Their newsletters really helped us reach a wider spectrum of targeted audiences. Congrats on the launch team!

I’ve been using this on my two newsletters for a while now and I’ve particularly found it a great way to give my secondary newsletter, MidRange, a boost. That has only 530ish subscribers these days and is intended as a low-stakes affair. For that audience it has given me a great way to monetize a smaller, but super passionate audience for my writing. I also use this on Tedium, which has around 12,000 subscribers—and I have to say, it excels at the very thing Swapstack always does—it offers a killer way to let me control my own destiny as a newsletter operator looking for sponsors. These guys do great work, as always!

Hey ProductHunters, I had so much fun working on Plug and Play, onboarding new and exciting affiliate deals, helping small & large publishers monetize their work without all the back and forth, and FINALLY helping the team launch this amazing product globally! As a newsletter myself, I'm excited about this and cannot wait for everyone to take advantage of it. If you have any questions about Plug and Play or Newsletter sponsorships, ask away! 👇🏻

This is SUPER cool. I've been using Swapstack since September 2021 and it helped pave the way for me to monetize my newsletter. But living in Canada meant I couldn't take advantage of the Plug & Play feature. I'm so pumped that it's now available!!

Hi PH crew! I'm one of the makers of Swapstack and we had a BLAST building this. Massive kudos to our project lead @kellyclaus who kicked at least 3.2 butts while building this feature. Plug & Play is such a simple but effective tool for publishers that means they never need to EVER run a newsletter without a sponsor. While it is by no means the only option we provide to publishers, it is probably the simplest, and definitely the most guaranteed one. Let us know what questions you have, and we can't wait to rock out with you on PH launch day!

glad you guys created something that can take the toll of promotion off the heads of creators so they can focus on what they do best - create! and leave promotion and sponsorship skills to others

Congrats to the whole team for launching Plug & Play to the public. 🤩🥳 This is a huge opportunity for newsletter creators to start monetising their newsletters early on. I am excited about how Swapstack will keep evolving Plug & Play in the future, and I looking forward to more brand joining in! ☺️

Helloooo Product Hunters! Thank you all for your support thus far, we had an amazing time working on Plug & Play and are excited to be finally sharing it with you all!! The driving-force behind this started with the idea of making monetisation easier, quicker and more accessible. P&P enables creators of all sizes and topics to monetise their work and earn on *every* edition - and is real simple to use. Placements take ~2m to put together with 1-click copy and creatives and you can run as soon as you'd like to. We'd love for you to get setup and check it out for yourself! Head over to the Swapstack website and feel free to explore the platform! If you have any questions about Plug & Play or Newsletter sponsorships, ask away! 👇🏻

This is so exciting. Can’t wait for all the amazing monetisation opportunities this would open up for all newsletter writers😊

What an amazing solution newsletter creators. Is this only for English newsletters?

Hey PH friends! I was the lead builder on the Plug & Play revamp, and I'm having SO SO SO much fun reading your comments and reactions to what we've put together. Thank you, genuinely, for taking the time to check it out. It's always a cool experience to launch something you've built, but it's a thousand times more gratifying when your work allows people to make money doing what they love. (And working with this freaking killer team is the cherry on top. @jakesing @jake_schonberger1 @learnwithvidya @mo_turgunov, MWAH! You're so great.) We can't wait to see how this feature evolves. Keep the feedback coming!

Big fan of Swapstack. I've made thousands of with them from my newsletter. We've ran into hiccups along the way but the Jakes are awesome to work with and have answered countless emails and phone calls where I was complaining. And we solved the issues. Highly recommend Swapstack to anyone trying to make money with newsletters

Wow this is such a great idea! How did you circumvent the requirement that most companies have to vet their affiliates?

Amazing stuff! Plug and play is an apt name given how easy it is to use as per the tutorial video. Signed up.

Swapstack is a fantastic platform and I highly recommend to any newsletter writer looking to monetize! Their web app is simple to get started on, you can generate leads from Day 1, and the sponsorship facilitation is dead-simple. Solid team, quality brands, and A-grade product - truly.
