For me, I send travel bloggers 5 opportunities to grow their traffic & income directly to their inboxes on Monday mornings.⁠ ⁠ ✳️ 2) Set a consistent schedule & price: How often will you send it—weekly, biweekly, monthly? Also, price it right. The average paid newsletter is around $11/month, but do consider the value you offer. ⁠ ⁠ ✳️ 3) Consider ways to increase the base price of your newsletter—such as affiliate links, selling back issues, and/or cross-promoting with your other products⁠.⁠ ⁠ ✳️ 4) Pick the right platform: If you already use an email marketing tool, you can create a paid option with something like a PayPal button. Or try Substack, which takes a 10% cut but has more features.⁠ ⁠ ✳️ 5) Create an enticing sales page: Make sure to explain *exactly* what people will get, how often they’ll get it, and why it’s valuable. Personally, I also offer a free trial to give people a taste of the newsletter.⁠ ⁠ ✳️ 6) Promote everywhere: In your content (regularly!), social media bios, email signatures, homepage menu, sales funnels & more. Also, cross-promote with other creators and share it with your current email list.⁠ ⁠ ✳️ 7) Focus on retention: For instance, you might offer incentives like discounted annual plans. I also track which emails and links get the most clicks to continuously improve my content.⁠ ⁠ Do you have a paid newsletter?
