Paved Ad Network - Put your newsletter advertising on autopilot

I’m excited to launch the Paved Ad Network and Native Ad Editor today on ProductHunt! I’m John, founder and CEO of Paved, a leading email newsletter marketing platform. . Paved connects publishers of all sizes with leading advertisers in a wide variety of industries, so they can successfully monetize and scale their newsletter efforts. My personal fascination with the newsletter space started a few years back. I was captivated by the sheer number of new and interesting newsletters being launched, but even more so by the fact that the tools and tech to support newsletter creators have struggled to keep pace. The biggest hurdle for many publishers is the ability to generate revenue from their newsletters without moving mountains. Many publishers spend as much time managing advertisers and sponsorships as they do on newsletter creation—but not by choice. While display and social advertising have been streamlined through platforms and ad networks, the process for generating and launching newsletter advertising has remained manual and time-intensive. With Paved, we set out to change that. The Paved Ad Network lets publishers put their newsletter revenue on autopilot: 🎉 Simple install + dynamic insertion: Place the ad unit in your newsletter template and sponsorships will auto-fill with every send. 🎩 Responsive, native design: Customize your ad unit with the Native Ad Editor to match the format, sizing, colors, and font of your newsletter. 🌎 World-class advertisers: Paved works with advertisers that run quality sponsorships—Uber, eBay, and Square to name a few. 🎯 Targeted and relevant ads: Sponsorships are aligned with your newsletter’s subject matter and your audience’s interests. 🖐 Auto bidding: Advertisers compete for your ad space. That means more revenue, more relevant ads, and more ad spaces filled. 💰 Automated payouts: Make money with every send. Paved handles all invoicing, IOs, contracts, and payments. And advertisers, we’re solving a real issue for you too. Learn more about how Paved enables you to reach potential customers directly in their inbox, easily and effectively. Let me know your thoughts and questions about Paved. Let’s build the future of newsletter sponsorships, together.

Oooh this looks like a fascinating product! How do the Newsletter owners manage those that advertise via platform?

Congrats all, looking forward to using this!

The last two months I've been part of the Paved Team and working on advocating for Publishers in this Ad Network. It's been a joy to see many of the issues that I've collected over the years w/ newsletter ads be addressed in this single platform. While trying to do sponsorships in my old newsletter Influence Weekly, I was inundated with back and forth emails. The marketplace helps cull down a lot of that back and forth. Also the initial outreach phase is completely eliminated with Paved. But nothing compares to this Ad Network. An absolute marvel with features that put Publishers in the driver seat. Allows more control than I've ever seen before. It makes me want to start up 5 daily newsletters now. It makes me want to fire up mailchimp again and churn out landing pages. Giving writers, creators, publishers, the power to literally focus on their content instead of dealing with ads, has been worth the work. I am excited to meet more publishers and get more creators onboarded. Happy to answer any questions you have here Product Hunt!

Congrats for the launch, amazing product!

Excited to see this launch! As a newsletter publisher myself with sponsors this space is very interesting to me. Which side has been tougher to grow for this initial release - the publishers or the advertisers?

This is awesome! thank you for building it — I'm pretty sure hundreds of thousands of newsletter creators are waiting for it. Instant upvote

Congratulations on the launch Paved team. I think I've been a member of Paved for a couple of months and already had a few sponsors grab slots in my newsletter. They make the experience so easy for a newsletter creator. Excited to check out this new ad network!

Such a lovely idea! Can't wait to see where this heads!

Sounds like a great product. Is there a minimum threshold on newsletter subscribers?
