Some years ago in a startup we had a 10k subscriber newsletter for event locations and made much much more per month than $2000. You might be too cheap.

[Edit] Especially with that backlog.

Been thinking it might be time to up prices! The slots have been sold out months in advance so it's hard to factor in growth when booking.

I do pause new sponsors from time to time when I book out too far to give myself a chance to reevaluate.

Did these sponsors just start contacting you inbound or did you do cold outreach?

All have been inbound with the exception of one sponsor who I thought would be a perfect fit for the audience. They agreed and bought two slots.

A better question to ask imho would be what improvements you can make on a larger budget.
