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.

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.

Yes. I have looked and looked for quality material on the subject of starting and growing a Newsletter. VERY little out there! It's amazing. So thank you for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it.
Love Profit Snack. Thanks so much for the breakdown and insight. I'm starting my agency and this really helps a lot.
So true bro i still remember you was the only person talking about ecom consistently back in the days.... it was you Tanner Planes, Tanner J Fox (Fba).... Oh and your apartment that had a car dealership right in front of it 💯.....

Have you started the newsletter?
At what point do you think we should comsider hiring someone to work for us on a newsletter business? Like is there a certain amount of subs that just makes it too impractical to do by yourself?
I been looking for newsletter videos, never thought you would be the one to make them, looking foward to more. Best of luck

Hayden, I’m so happy I found you! Subscribed and liked :)
Solid video, very informative and excited to learn more from you 👏🏼
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video. Would you share what you learned about the format of the newsletter and how to make sure you are hiring the best writer?
So excited to find this video thanks!! I signed up for your newsletter ❤ Question 🙋🏻♀️maybe you can help or direct me to a resource- what is the difference or how do you decide between the articles or blogs you put out for public consumption on your website and the exclusive emails that you provide in a ‘newsletter based business? Thanks!
Dude I used to watch your videos about 5 years ago now when it was all eComm/dropshipping focused. Been quite the journey since then and couldn't believe it when I stumbled across this just now. Glad to see things are going so well for you!

Would the “product” your referee to selling to your newsletter be a physical or digital product?
Dude this is super dope content. Could you break down some alternative niches that could work in the news letter biz..
Love this - bring the meat!!! Where would you start if you were bootstrapping this newsletter business?
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.

Thanks for sharing Hayden, we're a SaaS with a list of 25k subs, wondering whether we can monetise our freemium users while providing extra value. $0.50/mo per sub sounds way better than I thought.

Any updates, Hayden?
I started my drop shipping journey about a month ago and I am having issues with marketing. I have items that I will push on tik tok any tips on marketing?? Im creative but I feel like I am complicating this
I'm interested in international relations and current affairs. Spend a lot of time gathering information about news world wide. Can I make personal newsletter with that? Is this viable? Your opinion.
Can you recommend anyone or courses I can start to learn from for newsletters? Been trying to find them but unlike ecom or other biz ops, I can't really find any good courses to learn more about building newsletters

Hey brother why don’t you go onto podcast? That is a Cody Sanchez move and she is doing extremely well.
Bro why don't you buy a microphone stand? BTW great content.
Is the content evergreen?
So if i had a newsletter with like 200-300 Subs per day and like 20-50 of them subscribe the newsletter of someone else i get 1-2$??? Aint now way bro
Yuh
This man said he spends 50k a month on this?
So...I guess the goal is to get venture capital money and then be able to burn through 40k a month for promotion? Not much here for a solo or bootstrapped start-up newsletter entrepreneur.

I fully appreciate all the wisdom you sharing here, but man your numbers are completely unrealistic to most people. Would you be open to the idea of talking about this from the perspective of starting with zero and not having that large advertising budget?
You spend 40k per months is crazy. You also could grow much faster without spending that much dude, there are way more effective ways to scale faster with less money.
