Promote with me

Reach builders and founders — if the fit is real.

I’m open to promoting tools, books, courses, and services that genuinely help software engineers, technical founders, and small product teams. I say no to noise, scams, and mismatched audiences.

Audience snapshot

  • Software engineers (strong lean toward frontend, Angular/TS, full-stack)
  • Founders shipping SaaS and technical products
  • People learning through books, flashcards, and practical content

Promotion formats

FormatNotes
Newsletter mentionShort, contextual placement — not a generic banner farm.
Sponsored deep diveWhen the product deserves a real story: problem, solution, trade-offs.
Launch / release spotlightGreat for books, major releases, and serious product updates.
Bundle or cross-promoWhen your offer pairs naturally with STJ or my content verticals.

Fit criteria (non-negotiable)

Usually yes

  • Dev tools, education, books, quality courses
  • Infrastructure with honest positioning
  • Founder-relevant services with clear outcomes

Usually no

  • Crypto hype, “get rich” funnels, dark patterns
  • Low-quality AI slop products
  • Anything I wouldn’t use or recommend to a friend

Process

  1. Brief — what you sell, who it helps, proof, and desired outcome.
  2. Alignment — I confirm fit and propose a format + timeline.
  3. Delivery — assets, copy review, go-live.
  4. Report — what ran, learnings, and optional iteration.
