Sponsor the show.
Jack Gordon makes long-form video essays on philosophy, history, and political thought. The same young men who finish those videos already buy books from his shop. This page is the rate card and the proof.
tl;dr
YouTube Analytics, 27 Jun–24 Sep 2026. Shop numbers: Shopify Admin, same window. Estimated AdSense in those 90 days: $1,345 at $6.88 CPM, almost all of it after monetization came online in the last 28 days.
What you are buying
A 12–22 minute essay, voiced and edited like a documentary, on thinkers and political ideas. Viewers come for Jung, Gaddafi, Yarvin, Nietzsche, Schmitt. They stay because the argument is specific. Mid-rolls sit inside that argument, not in a pre-roll bumper.
Two long-form videos a week, Monday and Thursday. Jack writes the read in his own voice. You get one round of factual fixes. The offer, URL, and any code are due 5 days before upload.
Properties
They already buy
Most kits stop at views. This audience already spends. Last-click YouTube traffic to The Rite Books, Shopify, last 90 days:
| YouTube | Store overall | |
|---|---|---|
| Sessions | 3,425 | 85,471 |
| Share of sessions | 4.0% | 100% |
| Session conversion | 0.47% | 0.87% |
| Paid orders (YouTube referrer) | 22 | 743 |
| Revenue (YouTube last-click) | $1,574 | $72,596 |
| AOV | ~$72 | $86 |
Last 28 days: 1,233 YouTube sessions, 0.73% conversion. Journey-match (YouTube anywhere in the path): 25 orders / $1,946. These are floors. Description links that land as “direct,” Instagram, and later branded search are not in the YouTube row.
A 60-second read in a typical 25k-view video is heard by roughly 10–12k people (mid-roll around the halfway mark). The shop already turns a slice of those people into $70 carts. Education, tools, and products sold to the same young men should expect intent, not “awareness only.”

Partnerships
Priced in USD off 25,000 typical views × $40–$50 sponsorship CPM for a 60-second mid-roll. Education / self-improvement 2026 band is $20–$40; we sit at the top because the audience already converts. Outliers are not in the list price. If a video is on track for 100k+, we can talk a bonus, not a surprise invoice.

How a read works
Jack writes the first pass in his voice. You get one round of factual fixes. We need the offer, URL, and any code 5 days before upload. Deliverables go live on the Monday/Thursday calendar. Tracking: unique URL or code, plus UTM if you want the same last-click view we use for the shop.
Questions brands actually ask
Do you read a script we send?
No. Jack writes it so it sounds like the rest of the essay. Send the facts, the offer, and lines you legally need. One round of factual fixes. If a claim cannot be said honestly, it does not go in.
How far ahead do you book?
Five days before upload is the working minimum. Packs and presenting should be locked a week earlier so the calendar is real.
Can we use the footage in ads?
Organic YouTube + Instagram as sold. Whitelisting or paid usage is a separate line, typically +50–100%.
Exclusivity?
Packs and presenting are category-exclusive for the term. A single episode is first-come for that category that week.
