Why advertise with us?
Hacking with Swift started in 2014, and has been providing a comprehensive series of news, tips, tutorials, and more ever since. Paul Hudson personally writes all articles and records all videos, guaranteeing a consistent quality and voice – readers know our articles are based on real-world examples, and trust that our solutions will work for them.
To keep things simple, we have only one advertising package, and it includes all the following:
- Your ad placement on all content pages – over 5 million views a month! – including your logo and action button.
- An on-air thank you in all videos published by Paul during the sponsorship, reaching 60,000 subscribers on YouTube.
- Inclusion in that month's newsletter, reaching 38,000 readers.
- A thank you tweet from Paul to his 53,000 followers.
Plus you're guaranteed a personal service – if you have questions, suggestions, or need something special, you can send an email to sponsor@hackingwithswift.com and we'll get back to you within 24 hours. We don't use ad networks, agencies, or other middlemen – readers trust Hacking with Swift because we're a community-focused site that delivers reliable, high-quality content every time.
Best of all, the cost is just $1000 a week for everything – that includes the main site, YouTube, Twitter, and the newsletter.
So, if you want to reach the widest range of professional iOS developers while also showing your support for the world's largest Swift community, you should get in touch and let us help you.
The Hacking with Swift advantage
There are lots of Swift-focused websites out there, and we're really proud to be part of such an exciting, thriving community. Every site does things its own way, and here's what we think makes Hacking with Swift special:
- We reach huge audiences on the web, on YouTube, and by newsletter, helping get your message out to the broadest range of developers.
- We believe in building our community – we sponsor diversity tickets at conferences, run community mentoring programs, and have raised over $100,000 for charity.
- We have organic search authority – hundreds of our pages are ranked #1 by Google because users trust the brand and click through to our articles.
- We constantly update old articles to reflect new syntax and API because Swift changes quickly, which means readers know everything they read here is still valid today.
- We run the independent Swift Community Awards where tens of thousands of users vote for their favorite tools and projects every year.
- Our site is delivered from a worldwide CDN spanning 200 cities in more than 90 countries, ensuring our pages load lightning fast from Hawaii to Tokyo and beyond.
We work to make sure your advert looks as good as it can, so we'll help you write your advert to maximize engagement. You can also provide light and dark versions of your logo to make sure it adapts to visitors' system settings, customize the text on the action button, and more.
We're also proud to promote other amazing Swift websites out there – you should check out sponsoring iOS Dev Weekly, Antoine van der Lee, and John Sundell.
About our audience
Hacking with Swift is the largest website focused entirely on Swift developers, reaching over 700,000 unique visitors every month on the web, plus many more on YouTube, on Twitter, by newsletter, and more.
Our audience is:
- Primarily based in the US, but Germany, the UK, and Canada are also particularly large markets.
- Either already working as a professional iOS developer or working towards that goal.
- Highly engaged in building and shipping apps for Apple's platforms using the best tools available.
Our readers include companies such as Airbnb, Apple, eBay, GitHub, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, and more – if that's the kind of audience you want to reach, let us help you.
Note: Hacking with Swift+ subscribers do not see adverts on the site, but as they represent fewer than 0.2% of page views this will not affect your numbers.
Pricing
Our approach to pricing is simple: we have one flat weekly rate that covers exclusive sponsorship on the site and any videos made that week.
You aren't placed alongside other sponsors or run in a rotation – you're the exclusive sponsor for each week. Plus, your sponsorship also includes a thank you tweet from Paul and inclusion in our monthly newsletter, helping extend your reach even further.
One week of Hacking with Swift sponsorship is just $1000.
You can book individual weeks, or block book a month or more to coincide with other marketing events you're running – get in touch and we can send you the latest availability details.
So, if you're looking to help folks discover your product or service, want to raise brand awareness, or just want to help support the largest Swift community in the world, please get in touch!
