š Welcome
Itās officially April! The Spring weather is turning nice where I am in New York and so thoughts are naturally turning to blossoming green things, which inspires thoughts of newsletter monetization.
This issue explores several topics that relate to six-figure newsletter monetization and the practices required to support it; highlights include:
$100k is a common benchmark for success used by many newsletter operators, so we feature advice from several 6-figure newsletter operators. There are also tips for reverse engineering newsletter revenue and reinforcement of the importance of owned vs. rented platforms.
Content keeps your audience coming back to drive revenue, so check out the list of the best newsletters for content creators and also gain some insight into Googleās latest SEO considerations.
Parties other than you want to monetize your audience, as one major newsletter was reminded last week when they got hacked and their audience received phishing emails.
Speaking of monetization, our new sponsor this week is none other than Hubspot, who is offering their State of Marketing 2024 Report to Newsletter Business subscribers. This report is full of insights such as which marketing channels are delivering the best ROI as well as actionable tips for increasing awareness and engagement across your customer journey.
Please reply to this email and let me know what your monetization goals and approaches are, and if you agreed or disagreed with any of this weekās content!
Enjoy and see you next issue!
