Stop selling sponsorships over email.

Rate cards in PDFs, specs sent three times, invoices chased for weeks. Raisli replaces the thread with one link a sponsor can buy from on their own.

The busywork, handled.

Everything between “how much?” and the ad going live, without you in the loop for the routine parts.

You approve every ad
Creative lands in a review queue. Nothing goes live on your site until you say so.
Recurring billing
Sponsors pay monthly or yearly by card. Renewals, receipts and cancellations run through Stripe.
Impressions and clicks
Every placement reports its own numbers, and sponsors see theirs without emailing you.
A backup ad for empty slots
Unsold placements show your own promo instead of a blank gap or a network filler.
Custom price links
Agreed a special rate on a call? Send a checkout link with that price already set.
Replies to sponsor emails
An AI assistant answers routine questions about specs, dates and rates from your support inbox.

One price: 5% of what you sell.

No plans, seats or minimums. If a sponsor pays you $1,000, you keep $950. If nothing sells, you pay nothing.

Questions

Who is Raisli for?

Independent publishers, newsletters, blogs and niche sites that want to sell sponsorships directly instead of through an ad network.

How do ads appear on my site?

Each placement gets one script tag. Paste it where the ad should go, and the current approved ad shows there automatically. When a booking ends, it comes down on its own.

What does it cost?

Nothing upfront and no monthly plan. Raisli takes 5% of each booking. Card processing is handled by Stripe, and payouts go straight to your connected Stripe account.

Do sponsors need an account?

No. They pick a placement, upload their creative and pay. They can manage or cancel their subscription later from a billing link.

Can I turn down an advertiser?

Yes. Every booking waits for your approval, so you decide who appears in front of your audience.

Your next sponsor is looking for a buy button.

Set up your placements today and send sponsors a link they can book from tonight.
