Become a Sponsor

The Free Toaster is the only publication strictly focused on the consumer lending marketing niche.

Not general fintech news. Not startup theater. Not VC commentary.

We cover how credit products are built, marketed, distributed, and scaled and we do it for the people who own those decisions.

Our model is simple: money in, money out.

A $20,000 annual partnership puts your brand in front of an audience that is already generating six-figure deals for current sponsors. These are not passive readers. They are operators running growth, partnerships, product, data, and revenue inside lenders, card issuers, bureaus, and fintech platforms.

We don’t ask you to take this on faith.

Sponsors get full transparency into performance, including newsletter engagement metrics and extended reach across Carlos’ LinkedIn presence, which generated over one million impressions last year. That distribution is reinforced through podcasts and invite-only dinners designed around a tight ICP, where attendance is curated to ensure you are sitting across the table from people who can actually buy.

You’re not buying impressions.

You’re plugging into a focused distribution engine built to create real conversations and real pipeline.

If you want to see the data, understand the audience makeup, or learn how sponsors are turning this into revenue, reply to any newsletter issue, email us at info@thefreetoaster.com or reach out on LinkedIn. We’ll walk you through it.
