Newsletter businesses are hot!

Even teens with cute puppies are making money with newsletters nowadays.

Starting a newsletter business used to be a 10-man agency with an army of content writers, copywriters, a project Manager, a Graphic Designer, an Editor, tech support and drones of marketers.

Thanks to the booming Creator Economy and powerful AI tools, now anyone can launch a thriving newsletter biz.

This list will unleash your inner newsletter ninja, empowering you to build, manage, and monetize your passion project with ease. Get ready to 10x your impact (and maybe even rival those puppy pics!).

What I love about newsletters is that you own the list and the traffic it can generate can't be taken away from you, in the way Amazon or Google can. You can sleep well at night.

Newsletters can be monetized in many ways - I've done them all, and cover them all here:

Sponsorships
Affiliate marketing
Paid recommendations
Lead generation
Subscription fees
Sponsored editions
Own products
Community access

If you ever wanted to start your own newsletter, keep this list for your future reference.
