Hecto

It’s been just over 8 months since the first version of Hecto was first launched as a solid v1.0. So I’m really, really excited to share Hecto 2.0 with you today. The aim for Hecto was always to help the newsletter ecosystem and simplify the sponsorship process. I’m really happy to say these last few months we’ve doubled down on that vision: - Direct Messaging Keep all your sponsorship conversations and orders in one place. Buyers can message newsletters without leaving the platform, straight to the newsletter owner’s Hecto account. - Marketplace Quality Control Every newsletter has been vetted prior to being added to the Marketplace, ensuring submitted stats are accurate. - Ad Requirements Newsletter creators can specify the terms of their ads. From word count limits through to whether images are required - Accept Payments Hecto has always aimed to make the sponsorship process simpler. No need for emails back and forth - buyers can now pay for ads directly on the platform, simply and securely. - Ad Inventory Self service is best when buyers know ad availability and pricing. Newsletter creators can now create ad inventory on the platform, as well as amend pricing and date availability. - Accept or Reject Payments Creators don’t need to worry about late self service requests or ads bought by businesses that don’t align with their audience. Creators always get the option to accept or reject paid requests in one click - Hecto Checkout Every creator has a Hecto checkout form they can link to, allowing buyers to choose a date, submit their copy and make their payment - all from one page. Hecto has come a long way in a short time and it's been a rollercoaster so far! As always - appreciate everyone that’s supported by jumping in my DMs, retweeting and generally encouraging me to keep going.

Nice job @thedudlian. I've found some great outbound sponsors through your site (Jesspicks has been one of our favorites). Glad to see the functionality increasing and keep up the good work.

This product gives you direct access into the mind of a highly organized person. You'll be able to shortcut your way to learning how to organize thoughts of your own - -especially if they related to creating a newsletter.
