FOR PUBLISHERS — EARLY PARTNER PROGRAM
One deal. Read it, sign it, start the same day.
Walter puts your newsletter in front of readers comparing letters by verified track record — and helps the readers you already have see exactly what you deliver. The tool, not the threat.
Become an Early Partner →Get new subscribers
Your verified, graded track record does the selling — years of published work turned into independent proof, in front of readers who are deciding right now. And the economics beat anything in this industry.
EARLY PARTNER RATE
We bring you the customer — you keep 80% of net receipts.
When a Walter reader subscribes to your letter, that's a customer acquired for you. Early Partners keep 80% of net receipts on every Walter-sourced subscription through December 31, 2027 — renewals included — then 50/50. This industry routinely pays 50% or more of first-year price for a single acquisition. Walter costs 20%, and the credibility comes with it.
You bring your own reader — you keep 90% of net receipts.
Subscriptions attributed to your own badge or your Walter partner link pay you 90% of net receipts after processing — renewals included, no step-down, forever. No promotion required, ever; the rate simply applies whenever your audience buys through you.
Unlock the value for your subscribers
Readers who track a letter stay with it. Walter parses every issue you publish the moment it lands, alerts your readers when you call a close, and shows each reader what your newsletter has actually returned them — your timing becomes their timing, your value finally legible. A subscription that shows its value renews. Engaged readers stay.
THE INDEPENDENCE FIREWALL
A Walter Grade is never for sale. No payment, partnership, or program influences a grade — not now, not ever. The methodology is a locked, versioned formula applied identically to every newsletter, partner or not, and nobody can buy placement: no newsletter is featured, advertised, or preferred on Walter. The marketplace buys nothing on the rating side, by design.
Fair by design: how Walter reads your calls
One locked methodology applies to every newsletter, identically. No one can pay for a better grade, and no one can change how they're scored. What you can do is tell Walter how you actually trade, so it reflects what you meant instead of guessing. Within a short, fixed list, you can clarify: what "buy the dip" means to you — the size of pullback you intend; how long a conditional call waits before it expires; how a position scales in over a few days; how a spinoff in one of your positions is handled. That's the entire list. None of it touches your score, your benchmark, your peer group, the timing of your calls, or your grade — conventions, not advantages.
- ·Your price, never marked up — the marketplace always matches your own public offer.
- ·Your existing list is never commissioned and never solicited.
- ·Your work is one email address.
- ·No fees, ever — Walter earns only when it sells for you.
