Sponsor One Thing Well

I love writing One Thing Well, but it’s quite a bit of work. So I’ve decided to offer RSS feed sponsorships.

If you have a product you’d like to promote to the tech-savvy, software-obsessed folk that read the site the sponsorship page has all the details.

In brief: a week’s sponsorship costs £99—that’s $159, or €114—which gets you a prominent review of your product at the beginning of the week, and a shorter ‘thank you’ post at the end. Interested? Send Jack an email.

If you’re wondering why you might want to sponsor One Thing Well, here’s what happened to sales of DoublePane after I wrote a review that helped the app become the #1 Utility in the Mac App Store:

And if you are one of those lovely tech-savvy, software-obsessed readers? Don’t panic. I promise I’ll only accept sponsorship from cool companies who make great stuff, and sponsored posts will be clearly marked as such. I’ll also donate 10% of the income from sponsorships to free and open source projects1.

Thanks to Nick for the stats, and Patrick for the advice.
