Good morning 👋

We’ve spent weeks talking about growing your list but let’s be honest… what’s the point of more subscribers if they’re not buying anything?

Everyone’s chasing growth, but growth without strategy is just digital clutter. You don’t need another freebie or fancy funnel, you need a system that actually makes your list pay you.

That’s exactly what we’re diving into next week at the Newsletter Summit where we stop talking growth for growth’s sake and start talking about the systems that actually make you money.

The Newsletter Summit kicks off Tuesday, October 21, and you don’t want to miss this one.

Here’s a quick reality check: the creator economy is projected to hit $480 billion by 2027. That’s not hype, that’s opportunity. The only question is: are you claiming your piece of it?

People are already cashing in with smaller lists, fewer tools, and half the chaos. The difference? They’ve built systems that turn content into cash.

And that’s what today’s email is about, how to actually make money from your newsletter (and what to stop wasting your time on).

The Marketing Move

How Newsletters Actually Make Money

Let’s cut through the noise.

If your newsletter isn’t making money yet, it’s not because “you’re too early” or “you need more subscribers.”

It’s because you’re missing one of the three levers that actually drive revenue:

1. Your offers. Courses, templates, coaching, services (Whatever your thing is) It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to solve a real problem your readers care about.

2. Your affiliates. The easiest win if you’re already using tools or software your audience would love. Stop waiting until you “grow more.” Start recommending what you use now.

3. Your sponsors. The hidden goldmine. Brands are paying creators with small lists every day, not because of their size, but because of their specificity.

The creators making real money aren’t doing more, they’re just doing the right things consistently.

You don’t need to chase every platform or post more content.
You need a system that compounds.

That’s the difference between “I have a newsletter” and “my newsletter pays me.”

Is Your Newsletter Making You Money?

Here’s your quick gut check, be honest with yourself:

• Are your emails building trust and leading somewhere (aka an offer, sponsor, or product)?

• Are you sending content your readers would actually pay for or just “staying consistent”?

• Have you reached out to even one sponsor to test the waters?

• When was the last time you checked who’s advertising in other newsletters in your niche?

If you said “no” to more than one of these… your system isn’t broken it’s underutilized.

The good news? We’re fixing that next week.
I’m breaking down exactly how to make money from your newsletter — step-by-step, live during the Newsletter Summit.

You don’t need a huge list, a viral post, or an agency-level setup. You just need a system that works.

And if you haven’t started your newsletter yet, that’s okay. We’ll get you started on Tuesday.

🗓️ We kick off October 21st at 2 PM ET.

One Prompt to Rule Them All

Hey Chat…  Help me uncover hidden revenue in my business.

You are a monetization strategist who helps creators, coaches, and experts turn their existing content, audience, and systems into consistent income.
Ask me these questions before you build anything:

1. What type of offer(s) do I currently have, if any?

2. Who is my ideal customer or reader, and what do they buy from me now?

3. How often am I making offers in my newsletter or content?

4. What’s currently working and what’s collecting dust?

5. What kind of revenue goal am I aiming for in the next 90 days?

After I answer, analyze my responses and generate a Profit Maximizer Plan that includes:

• My fastest path to revenue

• The one offer I should focus on first

• At least 3 action steps I can take this week to increase income from my current list

Ask the Inbox

“How do you get someone to sponsor your newsletter?”

Start here: brands don’t buy your list size, they buy your audience’s trust.

If your readers actually open, click, and engage, you already have something most advertisers want. The key is being able to prove it.

Before you even reach out to a potential sponsor, you need to know three things:

1. Your numbers. Open rates, click rates, CTR on past promotions, this is your proof of performance.

2. Your audience. Who’s reading? Founders? Marketers? Operators? The clearer your audience profile, the easier it is to sell access to them.

3. Your pricing. Don’t guess. Calculate your CPM (cost per thousand impressions) or benchmark against other newsletters in your niche.

Yes, you can start with a simple email, but a clean one-page pitch deck goes a long way.

Show your audience breakdown, engagement stats, available ad slots, and pricing options. Sponsors love data and clarity.

Here’s your cheat code:

• Look at who’s already advertising in newsletters similar to yours.

• Make a list of those brands.

• Reach out with your deck and a short, human message:
  “Hey, I noticed you’ve been sponsoring [Newsletter Name]. My readers are [describe your audience]. I think you’d be a perfect fit want me to send over details?”

That’s it. Keep it short. Keep it confident.

On Tuesday, I’m going deeper into this, exactly where to find sponsors, how to price them, and what to pitch so you can start landing deals that actually make your newsletter pay you.
