Description: All my newsletter notes from the last 6 months including tips, tricks, strategies and newsletter thought leaders I've found along the way of growing my own two newsletters.
Draft below:
Earlier this year, I started two newsletters: one about learning Argentinian Spanish and another about helping non-native English speakers land remote dev jobs. Because of the heavy focus on Newsletters as a medium, I gathered a lot of notes. Fair warning though...one newsletter has 80+ subs and the other has 1000+ so take my notes with a grain of salt.
But they've been living in my Notion...which means they're not available to anyone but me. I decided, "Why let these sit here and rot? Let's publish on my blog, clear up Notion and maybe it'll help someone else."
Plus, I'm selfishly hoping it starts a conversation with someone new and leads to a new friendship. That's the whole point of putting your thoughts on the internet anyway.
So let's dive in.
Newsletters about Newsletters
Anyone talking about newsletters or how to grow them, I instantly subscribed to. That lead to a lot of inbox fatigue. But, these all still have valuable tips, many around newsletter growth and monetization.
Here's the short list along with a short description of each:
Growth in Reverse One of my favorites! "Each week, I reverse engineer how a top creator grew from 0 to 50k+ subscribers."
Newsletter Operator where you learn "How to grow and monetize your newsletter. Learn the exact tactics top newsletters are using"
How to Make $1M with a Newsletter Business
Again, planning to go all in on newsletters and make a bet I could figure out how to pass my full-time income, I created a roadmap for getting to one million in revenue. Enjoy!
The math for a $1m newsletter is simple. All you need to do is get 2% of 100,000 subscribers to convert on purchasing a $250 course. And you need to send 2 newsletters per week, with 1 ad spot per newsletter and sell each spot for $5,000 for a total of 104 ad spots per year. Simple? Yes. Easy? No.
These are random tweets or threads that I bookmarked with the intention of applying these to my own strategy. Many of them are worth reading and adopting.
