For Ghost creators
Run your sponsorships on Ghost — without the spreadsheet.
Self-hosted publishing, zero sponsorship workflow. KeelStack is the sponsor operations layer that sits beside Ghost: pipeline, magic-link portal, renewal reminders, invoices, and branded reports. Platform-agnostic, flat $39/mo, no percentage of your revenue.
What Ghost does well
Ghost is an excellent publishing platform and deliberately does not do sponsorships. Everything from rate card to invoice is on you.
What it leaves to you
- Invoices and payment status tracked outside the tool that runs your site.
- Sponsor assets scattered across WeTransfer links and threads.
- No revenue view that answers “is the sponsor side working?”
How KeelStack fits.
It does not replace Ghost. It runs the sponsor side that Ghost was never built to handle.
Invoice tracking with auto-numbered records and due dates per sponsor.
A portal that collects assets into one library, tagged by type.
A revenue dashboard for the sponsor side of the business.
Move one Ghost sponsor through the full workflow.
Add the sponsor, send the portal link, watch the assets arrive, then send a report. If it doesn't click in 14 days, walk away.
