Typical price: On request, usually a flat fee per resource.
What you supply: A logo, a short sponsor line and the link, and sometimes a short intro for the report.
Best for: Building authority and collecting leads from readers who download useful material.
Before you buy: Find out whether the sponsor receives lead details and how long the resource stays online.
