What Does a Real Squarespace Sponsorship Pay?
Common Scam Tells: Fake Squarespace Sponsorships
If your email has any of these characteristics, treat it as a scam until verified:
- 🚩Any domain other than @squarespace.com
- 🚩Requests for upfront payment or a 'website setup fee'
- 🚩Offers a 'free year of Squarespace' in exchange for content (affiliate-only, not sponsorship)
- 🚩Overly high flat fee offers ($15K+ for small channels)
Real Pitch vs. Scam Pitch: Squarespace Examples
partnerships@squarespace.com- ✓ @squarespace.com domain
- ✓ Flat fee offer with clear deliverables
- ✓ Docusign contract
- ✓ Content brief with brand guidelines attached
hello@squarespace-partner.com- 🚩 Wrong domain
- 🚩 Asks you to 'build a sample site first'
- 🚩 Payment contingent on affiliate performance only
Universal Brand Deal Verification Checklist
Use this for every sponsorship email — not just Squarespace:
Is the sender's email domain the brand's official domain? Look up the brand's website and compare exactly. One typo = scam.
Real sponsorships pay you a flat fee post-delivery. If they require upfront payment from you, or offer commission-only but call it a "sponsorship," walk away.
Never sign anything with: no payment timeline, unlimited content rights, no kill fee, or that requires you to download software to "review" it.
Google the sender's full name + "LinkedIn." Find the brand's official contact page and send a verification email. Never click attachments in initial outreach.
