HeyJared1. Agree in your shared thread.
What it is, what the brand pays the creator, and the date it goes live. Both of you accept the same deal.
How HeyJared works.
Brands and media find each other, agree in one thread, and pay only for what goes live.
Claim your page and track it free.
Claim your brand, show, newsletter, channel or byline. Tracking your own claimed page is free: every mention across news, podcasts, newsletters and YouTube, with its source and tone, in a weekly email.
Competitors, other names, daily or instant alerts and full reports come with paid plans.
Get found.
Brands are listed where hosts and writers look for sponsors and guests. Shows, newsletters and writers are listed where brands look for places to be heard. Most shows already have a page; brands can claim theirs or ask for one.
Claiming is free. We check it’s really you with a work email or a code on your own site, and a person reviews every claim.
Pitch from your own page.
Sending a pitch is free. Brands pitch shows for a guest spot, a sponsor read or a product review. Shows pitch brands for a sponsor spot or a guest interview. Every pitch comes from a real page, so people can see who’s asking.
A person at HeyJared reviews every pitch before it’s delivered.
Both say yes first.
A shared thread opens only when both sides agree. You plan the details there, and nobody’s email address is shared.
Pay only for results.
Asking is free. When it goes live, the brand pays $49 plus 15% of what it pays the creator, on top. A story idea costs the brand $49 only if the reporter says yes, whether or not they write about it, and it comes back if they never reply within 14 days. Creators keep 100%. Reporters are never paid and never charged.
How payment works
Brands pay for results. Creators get paid within 3 days.
2. The brand pays up front. We hold it.
The creator’s money and our fee are held by HeyJared, not sent to anyone yet.3. It goes live. The creator pastes the link.
A sponsor read, a guest episode, a review or a post: the creator taps It’s live and adds the link.4. We check it.
We confirm it’s live and marked as sponsored where it should be. The brand gets a look too.5. The creator is paid within 3 days.
Straight to their bank. No invoices, no chasing. Creators keep 100%; the brand pays our fee on top.Not live? All of it comes back.
If it isn’t live 14 days after the date you agreed, the brand gets everything back, our fee included. If you move the date together, the 14 days count from the new date.
Research and tracking
Everything behind the free weekly email and the paid plans.
Type a name. Get the coverage.
Start with a company, person, product or topic. The report separates real coverage of your subject from passing mentions and name matches.
Read beyond the news.
News, podcasts, newsletters and YouTube are searched as one. Archives reach back to 2000 for podcasts, 2006 for news, 2017 for YouTube and 2020 for newsletters.
Depth varies by source. Some records are excerpts or episode descriptions rather than full text.
See where you stand.
Compare share of voice, tone and topics with the organizations around you. Open any trend to read the stories behind it.
Ask what AI says about you.
Track how AI assistants answer questions in your field: whether they mention you, recommend you or cite your site. Ask again to see what changed.
Find who to talk to next.
Reporters, hosts, newsletter writers and creators whose recent work fits yours, plus Hacker News threads and public calls for experts. Each comes with its reason and a draft you edit and send yourself.
Three tips
Use a website for common names.
A name is enough when it is distinctive. When it is not, a website or ticker tells the report exactly who you mean.Check what counts.
Review the description, topics and nearby organizations the report found. Remove what should not count, then run it again.Read the source first.
Open the story, episode or thread behind a suggestion before you reach out, and make every draft your own.
