FUND THE TOKENS
Support the publication without making it annoying.
The monetization plan is intentionally scarce: a few relevant placements, obvious labels, no behavioral ad network and no ability to purchase editorial treatment.
1 SLOT
Morning digest sponsor
A short, clearly labeled sponsor block after the editorial intro. No fake article format.
1 SLOT
Site sponsor
A quiet sidebar/footer placement on Field Notes. Never injected between paragraphs.
DIRECTORY
Jobs / training / events
Paid listings are allowed if useful and visibly marked as sponsored. Payment never changes editorial ranking.
Hard lines
No pay-to-play “best PAM platform” list. No disguised advertorial. No selling subscriber email addresses. No popovers that cover the article. No autoplay anything. No sponsor veto over coverage.
