ADVICE

Value Exchange in Paid Newsletters

  • Don't assume paid writing guarantees payment; focus on consistent value exchange.
  • Continuously resell your newsletter's value with each post, especially in subscription models.
ADVICE

Two Successful Paid Newsletter Types

  • Focus on either researched curation (like 'Trends') or original thinking for paid newsletters.
  • Original thinking offers unique insights and industry expertise, attracting readers seeking specialized knowledge.
ADVICE

Choosing the Right Newsletter Type

  • Choose original thinking if you're an expert; choose researched curation if you're not.
  • Free newsletters are better for beginners; paid newsletters are better after building an audience.
