How to monetize your meetup
- List it. Upload a photo of your meetup, mark each spot and pick how you bill: per week, month, event or post. We set the price from reach, market and demand.
- Get requests. Brands find it in Browse and message you. Accept or decline.
- Get paid. The brand pays when you accept. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up.
- Or run an auction. Share a link and let brands bid. Start a meetup auction.
Get paid to put ads on your meetup
Share photos from the night with the welcome slide and food, the live event page, and the sent newsletter.
Tips
- Sell three months at once. Sponsors like knowing they show up more than once.
- Keep the pitch slot short and optional. Members come for the talks.
- Never sell your member list. Sponsors reach people at the event, not in their inbox.
Questions
Is this allowed on meetup platforms?
Most allow sponsors on the event page. Check the platform's terms for your group.
Can a hiring company come and recruit?
Yes, if you say so in the spot. Many members like hearing about jobs.
What if the venue is already sponsored?
Respect the host. List only spots that do not clash with the venue's own deal.
How do brands find my meetup?
List it once. Brands browse spots by type, city and price and message you through SponsorMySpot. Your email stays private.
Who sets the price?
Our pricing engine, like a ride app. It prices each spot from what it is, how many people see it and the market you are in, and the price rises when brands are asking for that kind of spot near you. Owners pick how they bill: per week, month, event or post.
When do I get paid?
The brand pays when you accept their request. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe. The fee is 8 percent.
Can brands bid against each other instead?
Yes. Run an auction: each spot opens at your start price and any brand can take it by paying double. Cards are held, not charged, until bidding closes.
