Feedback from a few people I've helped 🫶
Hey, I'm Steph Blake!
MOM OF 2 BOYS, WIFE, BUSINESS CONSULTANT, SYSTEMS NERD & AMAZON PRIME ADDICT
When I first started running sponsorships for my own email list, I didn’t know if it would work.
My list wasn’t massive, and I’d heard all the same doubts you probably have: “Do I need thousands of subscribers? Will anyone actually pay for this?”
But after testing, tweaking, and running the numbers, I sold 100 sponsorships in just 5 days!
That was my wake-up call.
Sponsors don’t care if you have the biggest list in the world - they care about trust and alignment.
And if you’re showing up consistently for your audience, you already have what they want!
This is the same simple starting point I wish I had back then.
My goal is simple: help you turn your email list into an automated revenue stream - no matter what size it is right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a big email list for this to work?
Nope! Sponsors care more about trust and engagement than sheer size. Even a list of a few hundred people can generate revenue with this system if your audience is aligned.
When will I get access?
You'll get instant access to the complete system as soon as you sign up!
Does this replace my normal emails?
Not at all. You’ll keep sending your usual content — the system just lets you add paid sponsorships to your existing emails. That means every email you send can earn you extra revenue.
What if I don’t have sponsors lined up yet?
That’s exactly what the included optional sales page copy + launch email templates are for. You’ll be able to quickly promote your sponsorship spots to your own audience, network, or online communities to get sponsors in the door.
Is this a one-time setup or ongoing work?
It’s mostly one-time setup. Once your system is in place, it runs on autopilot: sponsors sign up, their info flows into Airtable, they get confirmation emails, their ad runs, they get a report and you get paid.
With that said, we always recommend reviewing your automations on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue working properly.
What if I’m not “techy”?
This system was made with simplicity in mind. Everything is explained clearly, and you'll receive quick videos that walk you through importing templates, connecting your form, and customizing emails. If you can copy/paste, you can do this.
Is this for digital products, services, or both?
Both! Whether you sell digital products, courses, or services, you can use sponsorships in your emails.
What tools do I need to make this work?
You’ll need Airtable and Fillout (both have free versions), however, Airtable will use built-in automations so we recommend making sure you're on a plan that allows for automations.
If you'd prefer to use Zapier instead of Airtable for automations, you can do that as well and I will share tutorials for both.
You’ll also need:
• A landing page tool + a way to collect payment (we use the Simple Business Suite™, but you can use whatever works for you). If you're a Simple Business Suite™ user, we will give you the exact sales page and payment workflows.
• (Optional) A project management tool to keep manual tasks organized.
• (Optional) Switchy, if you’d like to provide sponsors with detailed click reports.
Everything in the system works with free or low-cost tools — no custom tech required.
Do I need a paid Zapier plan to use this system?
It's possible but likely not.
I will show how to use webhooks to add new sponsors to your Airtable base via a checkout page tool.
If your checkout page tool doesn't allow webhooks, I will show how to do this with Zapier on the free plan.
If you're a Simple Business Suite™ user, you will receive the completed workflow with webhooks; Zapier won't be needed.
OPTIONAL AUTOMATIONS
Project Management
I will also share optional automation strategies such as adding tasks to a project management tool (ie: ClickUp, Asana..etc) but you can use the free Zapier plan for a basic automation.
Client Reports
If you want to include detailed reports for each sponsor, we use and recommend a tool called Switchy. This is an extra cost, but it’s available on AppSumo as a lifetime deal.
We will set up the Switchy automation with 3 steps in Zapier, which will require a paid Zapier plan to complete since the free plan only allows 2 steps.
This setup can also be done manually if you choose not to automate it; I will show both ways in the training.
How long will it take me to set up this system?
I built the entire system from scratch in about 6 hours. Since you’re getting the templates already done for you, it should only take 1–2 hours to link the tools, update the emails, and get everything live.
What if I need more help?
If you want personalized feedback or hands-on support implementing the system, you’ve got options!
👉 You can book a 1:1 private call with me on this page to review your funnel and automation setup.
👉 Or, if you want ongoing support, strategy, and deeper optimization, you can apply to join my Automation Accelerator program on this page.
Not sure which is the best fit? Just ask in the chat box and I’ll point you in the right direction.
What if I have another question before signing up?
Just click the chat box in the bottom right corner of this page and ask away. I’m happy to help you figure out if this workshop is the right fit for you.
Do you offer refunds?
