How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

[jkl]

Is the Sponsor Network worth it? I’m trying to justify the prices as $1k/month for a decent sized list seems excessive to me.

Do you know any sponsorship agencies that work on commission?

Thank you

Hey @woken !
I have 0 experience with their Sponsor Network so can't really tell you much.
The only agency that I've worked with is Sixteenth but that's more of a creator-focused agency and they're probably not focused on creators with just the newsletters.

I know that a lot of creators (e.g. Jay Clouse) are happy using CovertKit's creator network but recommending them would be a stretch.

One tool that you may want to look into is Passionfroot | Where Creators do Business. It helps creators (newsletter writers, YouTubers, etc.) manage sponsorship inquiries. While it won't solve the outreach problem, you might find a potential sponsor who's already your subscriber so it's worth having a link somewhere in the footer.
