Somebody learned their job from you. Let them say thanks.
Tutorials, courses, explainers, curricula — if you teach in public for free, a sponsorship wall lets the people you taught fund the next thing you make.
“Half our curriculum leans on material you gave away free.”
Gold9 moFree teaching has the longest thank-you delay on the internet: the tutorial someone watches today pays off at the job they get two years from now. Most of that gratitude has nowhere to go — a YouTube comment, maybe. A wall gives it somewhere to land, in public, with money behind it. And for every new learner deciding if your material is worth their time, a wall of people it already helped is the only proof that matters.
Where to put your wall link
Tutorial & course pages
A footer badge under every lesson, seen at the exact moment the lesson helps.
Video descriptions
One templated line across your whole teaching catalog.
Course completion moments
The final page of a series is where gratitude peaks; put the wall link there.
Resource downloads
Cheat sheets and starter repos travel; a link inside brings the traveler back.
Who backs educators
Former students come back years later, from the careers you helped start. Working professionals back the reference material they keep in a pinned tab. Monthly backers fund the next course, and their streaks show new learners you’re still teaching. On paid plans, a funding goal (“help me make the next course free”) gives your whole audience a shared finish line.
How SponsoredBy works
Money goes straight to you
One-time or monthly backings, paid directly into your own Stripe account — we never hold your money. Fees: 10% on Free, 5% on Pro, 3% on Max.
Everyone signs in
You verify a handle or domain before you can take payouts, and every backer signs in to a real account before they can back you.
Support becomes plaques
Backers appear on your public wall with a tier, a name (or anonymous, their choice), and how long they’ve backed you.
Payouts currently require a U.S. Stripe account — more countries are coming. Your wall works everywhere.
Show the world who’s got your back.
Free to join. Your wall is live in minutes, and every backer gets a plaque with their name on it.
