    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    Update from me: I've gone back to the drawing board in terms of a topic to focus on. I've had some good experience writing and learning how to use Substack but I just don't have the desire to write about that topic going forward I've discovered. You don't know until you try putting pen to...

    Have you tried calling them? There's a free phone number, you should be able to get live support. Google has decent customer service these days IMO, not like the old days where they would just shut down accounts and provide no reason. I've never seen ads just sitting unapproved in my entire...

    Yeah, I don't think chasing your passion is a good idea but setting yourself up in a business you can enjoy working on is common sense. Really interesting points on what you get out of your current newsletter, seems you've definitely found the right thing to write on because you're immersed in...

    Interesting idea for sure and it has crossed my mind. Shaan Puri (partner of Sam Parr on MFM podcast) has just started a new web3 newsletter. https://www.milkroad.com/ His strategy was to partner up with someone who is equally passionate and the partner writes the newsletter and Shaan edits...

    I do think this is a great way forward, if you're confident you'll enjoy writing about the things you're testing. My issue right now is, I feel I really need to do some internal work of my own, testing out writing some content, to see what I actually enjoy writing about. Otherwise, having an...

    I'm still working on my newsletter idea/format. I've now written 3 newsletters in total - content curation with commentary style. I'm trying to figure out a way to do this where it's fun to write for me and I'm not quite there yet. The way I see this working is, If I can get to a place where...

    Brilliant update. It's quite inspiring to see how you're working your way through the ups and downs of getting a newsletter off the ground, testing new things and sharing results here. Got me fired up reading this. Cheers

    Fun experiment! Hope it goes well! I'm currently pondering how best to deal with my website, it looks like trash and if it's already getting some organic traffic, I should put some more effort into it and double down on SEO. 90 organic visits in the last 28 days through the long tail keywords...

    My intro, badly unique (long'ish)

    INTRO 
    Hi Joe, Sounds like you've had a rough go of it mate, sorry to hear that. The good news? You're 28! ;-) The game has not even begun yet, it's all still to play for. What kind of work are you applying for?

    Do you guys network by organizing get-together?

    MINDSET 
    Great topic. The 1-1 coffee/meal is good but the benefit of organising a mini event such as drinks or food for 8-10 people is you become a connector which is a great way of helping those around you. It raises your stock by it's nature and people can come out of their shell a bit easier when...

    Great conversation in here everyone. Good point regarding the size of the niche. This subject matter is so deep and evolving that there's probably content there for a daily newsletter. The question is, can I cover content in an original and interesting enough way that it's interesting for...

    Thanks ! I think I mentioned in the other thread, I'm a big fan of The Hustle and read it each day, so looking to emulate something similar to that. Would you class the letter I linked above as short? There's not a tonne of reading there I don't think but hitting quite a few points of...

    Good points Andy. Twitter, Reddit, Twitch, Youtube, TikTok and Discord are the main channels of communication among this audience. I think Twitter is a useful channel for growth but probably more effective would be working on the Youtube channel and looking to get more traffic that way...

    Update from me, I've taken some big action in the past few days and created a couple of initial newsletters. My idea is for this to be a daily newsletter that goes out each morning, which I realise is a big undertaking and could be difficult to maintain without some help. Yesterday, I put...

    For your subject matter I would think having the male only distinction is better from both a content and marketing perspective. It seems there's a bit of a crisis of identity for men going on right now (toxic masculinity etc) and something like what you provide could be an attractive solution...

    Hey, @MTF is there a progress thread for your newsletter? I had a search against your name but didn't see anything. I'm gonna read through this entire thread today, I've read the first page and a half so far. I'm really curious to know what your growth strategy is with your letter, I'm sure...

    My idea is to build up a strong subscribership and if it takes off always be planting seeds and covering new games in the same genre. The genre is super niche but based on the massive success of this game, other developers are beginning to enter the market and the genre is going to evolve...
