Create a newsletter, then monetize it.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/05f9eddd-4eab-4cc4-8d83-ca79088efccb/ezgif-1-2b923eef53.gif)
If you’ve heard the saying “the money’s in the list”, here’s a teaser of just how much: Morning Brew—a newsletter for business news and updates—makes north of $20 million in revenue year after year. The Hustle, a tech mixed business newsletter, makes for more $2 million annually.
And their mega success rests on 1 on-the-nose fact:
People trust individuals more than brands.
Which means brands will pay a premium to advertise on your emails that subscribers want to read.
Creating a newsletter follows the simple principles of:
(1) Creating regular content for your newsletter
(2) Driving people to subscribe
(3) Monetizing your list via ads/sponsors/affiliate links
(4) Driving more people to subscribe.
But because there’s a world of a difference between newsletters that succeed and efforts that quickly sink, here’s how not get sunk:
1/ Have no less than good content i.e. Anything that an audience finds highly interesting (often found in ultra niches), which you will give out in your newsletter entirely for free.
2/ Drive subscribers A large list = more clicks = more ad/affiliate revenue = bigger and better (paying) sponsors. Where to drive precious subscribers from? A website with decent traffic. Social media. A personal brand. Yours or someone else’s.
3/ Monetize it, strategically Whether you choose to upsell a paid subscription, get paid from featuring ads, sponsors, and affiliate links, or sell your own stuff, sear this principle in your mind: Only feature brands/offers that align with your content and audience (unless you want to break your list’s trust fast).
And to make monetizing your newsletter as easy as humanly can be: use an email platform that’s specifically made to monetize newsletters (i.e. beehiiv - this is the platform I use for these emails).
