Ask HN: Would your company/startup pay $1K to $11K a week for a sponsorship ad?
i'm a cs student starting a developer vlog and blog on indie hacking and my journey on youtube and on my website, sharing, comparing and reviewing the tools I use to everyone.
obviously this takes a lot of time for me to do, so I plan to sell sponsorships on my channel and banners on my website and on feeds. i am considering a newsletter if i get time maybe.
while i've been researching and i've seen somewhere that someone is making $8K to $11K a week on sponsorships for a blog with no newsletters, and $5K a month on banners for a game.
these prices are very very expensive, since my audience (developers) HATE ads entirely, which has put me in a dilemma with pricing and has gotten me a bit discouraged for trying to make an income to pay for making videos and my cs degree.
i was considering $600 a week or month for these ads, but when going to companies for even $100 a week when i started, i was told this was "highly expensive" and i seen a company ad on a blog / podcast which was charged for $12K a month.
if you had a company what would you pay a sponsorship for if you had to and if you're a developer would you even mind sponsorship ads at all?
i don't know what i am missing here and still very new to this, so help is appreciated.
thanks!
