Being a solopreneur, I'm in my initial stage.
So i feel pricing is high for me.
But seems like an opportunity, who have already cracked solopreneurship

Cool to see ways to make reaching people easier. I know it costs a pretty penny, but it saves so many hours, days, and weeks of trying to advertise yourself

I have so much interest in hacking. Its my dream to be a good hacker.

Not a very IndieHackers friendly pricing.

Much much cheaper than any other form of advertising.

A 1.5% click rate brings only 1125 visits for $1k. Not really a favorable price.
-

that's click rate in the email, not CTA as I see it. This means that you can bring much less visitors.

That's a huge reach! How effective are these ad placements in terms of driving actual conversions and engagement?

I have 2 concerns.
1st. As per the Media Kit, there is a breakdown of the number of people from different countries. I would have loved it if there was an option to choose which country I want to target.
For example: Let's say I wish to target only US + Canada + UK + Australia. That's Just 42.85% of the total user. I don't wish to pay for the remaining 57.15% of the audience who I am not targeting.2nd. I would love to know if these 74,200 subscribers are users or founders or C-level executives. As a B2B business owner, My Ads works best with C-level executives or Founders but not so much with others.
I would love to pay & promote my business if these things can be managed. Otherwise, it will not be that effective for me.
Anyone else feels the same? -

Hello! the 1.6% clicks are calculated on total opens or total sent? Thanks!

A couple people commented on the placement. As a subscriber, I actually quite like it. Not too disruptive or visually offensive. It's there if I'm interested and easy to scroll past if I'm not. As a potential advertiser, it feels well-integrated and part of the issue's overall narrative. Great income stream for the newly re-indie IndieHackers!

I might like to. While the numbers seem to be comparably low, the members or the audience IH has is quite focussed. My money is on it. :)

Interested. Shouldn't you have an easy purchase system to place ad into your newletter?

My guess is they want to learn fast about pricing and other things that are much harder to do in a web app for instance.
I recommend reading "Lean startup" and other startup content to understand why folks make the decisions they do.

I don’t see why that would be a requirement for those that really want to advertise.
I can see how they prefer to review the ads carefully to consider whether they are valuable to their audience.

CPC now for this newsletter Ad is $3.05
Is my math wrong? -

I got excited when I saw this, but the math doesn't make a ton of sense.
80,000*32%*1.6% = 409.6
This means that you are paying USD 2 per click, which is a lot.

Numbers are pretty low? A system like PostApex's can be good. This newsletter also can be there. postapex.com

Not very helpful for us

The pricing is not the problem. The fact that YOU are the product is the problem. Your advertising content is only interesting to some that earn less and have high hopes.

Hmmm the audience is big, this is true but I don't like how the sponsor information is presented. To me, it looks very unnoticeable. It's not a surprise that the open rate is so low.
