How To Grow A Newsletter Business

Sub to my newsletter: www.profitsnack.com
Over the past few months, I have built a newsletter on BeeHiiv. Here's the long term plan. We have a very clear path to $10m and beyond.
PART 2 (update): • How To Grow A Newslett...

A newsletter is such a cool, attractive business. It has extreme stability & ownership of data. When it comes to growing a newsletter, you first must understand how to build a product that people love & WANT to come back to again and again.... once you do that, just throw gas on the fire with your marketing.
I identified how I wanted to monetize the newsletter, and also looked at the most common way to bring in revenue: sell ad space to companies that want exposure, and charge them a flat rate to do it. Many successful newsletters do this & make tons of money.
Once you figure out how much you can make as your list grows, you can work backwards & do the math. I identified how much I was willing to pay for a subscriber. Turns out, more than just about any other company. This gives me a leg up in my marketing efforts, allowing me to outbid everyone, and bully the competition. Which is exactly what I;ve done for a long time in my e-commerce business. The general idea is, instead of finding ways to cut costs, just find ways to increase revenue. It's easier
I started this newsletter on BeeHiiv after hearing some good things about it. It has been a great platform to work with, although not without its struggled & frustrations (just like any service). I have no current plans to change hosts.
If you have wanted to build a newsletter & grow it, I hope this video sheds some light for you. I look forward to continuing the growth of this newsletter, and building it into another media company.

    Please create some zero to 10k sub case studies, so newbies can follow along and bootstrap an email list with y’all. Hayden is spot on when he said there ain’t any good content around this biz model.

    Hey man, how's the newsletter been going? Would love to hear more. We started a little over a month ago, took a similar approach of going ~100% paid growth upfront. Steadily growing around 400-500/day, planning to be 60-85k quality subs by year end. I've been having all of the same thoughts on team members, regarding commission-based sales person and a VA-type position for gathering sponsor/contact information. And I hear you on the lack of content out there for newsletters, pretty much just listened to everything I could from Sparkloop, My First Million, every Matt McGarry interview, etc.
