For publishers

Turn your audience into another revenue stream.

If you run a site, newsletter, blog or community for people who build software, RoketAd lets you earn from relevant placements — without handing your readers over to a generic ad network.

How publishing works

  1. 1

    Apply

    Tell us about your site, product or newsletter and the audience it serves. A few sentences is enough — we read every application.

  2. 2

    Get approved

    We review the property for quality, traffic relevance and fit with the network. Approved publishers get access to the dashboard.

  3. 3

    Add your placements

    Drop the RoketAd widget where you want ads to appear, or choose the formats that fit your layout. Two lines of code.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    Track impressions, clicks and earnings in your dashboard. Earnings are paid out on a monthly schedule once you pass the payout threshold.

You stay in control

Your audience is the product. The network is built so you never have to choose between revenue and trust.

Approve what runs

You decide which categories and advertisers are a fit. Nothing appears on your property that you haven’t allowed.

Curated campaigns

Every campaign is reviewed against our guidelines. Spam, misleading claims and low-quality destinations get rejected before they reach you.

Transparent reporting

Impressions, clicks, CTR and earnings per placement, updated as your traffic comes in.

Simple payouts

No invoices to chase and no complicated revenue-share math. Your dashboard shows what you earned and when it’s paid.

Who we’re looking for

Properties with an audience that fits the indie tech ecosystem, and a little room to show a relevant product.

  • Developer blogs and technical publications
  • SaaS products with an in-app audience
  • Newsletters for founders and developers
  • Communities and forums
  • Tool and startup directories
  • Educational sites for builders
Built for indie hackers

You built the product. Now get people to see it.
