A PDF brochure or eBook can be much more than a one-off product. Direct sales are the obvious starting point, whether through your own website or platforms like Gumroad or Etsy. But there is more. You can, and should, reach out and find brands to sponsor your content!
The Hidden Work Behind Sponsorships
Everything that comes after the initial sale — sponsorships, affiliate links, upsells — is powerful, but it also requires a lot of footwork. Finding sponsors, reaching out, negotiating terms, customizing files… it's all valuable, but it takes time.
And while authors should absolutely keep doing this, it naturally limits who they can work with. You're not going to redesign your PDF for a small business that might distribute only a few hundred copies a year. The effort simply doesn't match the return.
This is where PDF2Go.Club steps in
It doesn't replace your existing sponsorships or partnerships — it expands them.
Instead of manually tailoring your PDF for each potential distributor, PDF2Go.Club automates the process and lets you offer licensing options to smaller businesses, local organizations, niche communities, and anyone who wants to share your content but doesn't have the budget or scale for a full custom deal.
Suddenly, a whole new segment of the market becomes reachable, and the licensing fees can be adjusted to fit smaller circulations without eating up your time.
How Exactly Does This Work?
Simply put, PDF2Go.Club helps smaller businesses discover, license, and co‑brand your content for their own promotional campaigns.
The system lets them generate a co‑branded demo PDF that looks almost identical to the final version they would distribute, except for a clear "Not licensed for distribution" watermark. This gives them a realistic preview without giving away the actual licensed file.
From that demo PDF, they can follow a direct link to the ordering page, purchase a license code, and unlock the full co‑branding functionality at PDF2Go.Club.
Once they do, the system automatically produces the licensed, ready‑to‑distribute version — no manual redesigns, no back‑and‑forth, no extra work for you.
Just... caching! 😎
Oh, by the way... Big Sponsors and Small Partners Can Coexist
One approach doesn't cancel out the other. You can still secure a major sponsor and include their full‑page ad in your PDF. That same sponsored version can then be licensed by smaller partners who aren't competing with the sponsor. A major consumer brand might sponsor your eBook, while a boutique hotel can still license it for their guests. Everyone wins — the sponsor gets broader exposure, the smaller partner gets quality content, and you unlock multiple revenue streams from the same PDF.
