You could target the gamers(focusing on the gamers that play multiplayer games) audience and have website whose target audience you're serving pay you for ads.
I remember there was a discussion on HN mentioning this topic, someone said that you could easily take 300 for a CPM for email newsletters.
Thus, if you do the math you have near 6k from newsletters.
Good luck! :)
- mschaecher 16y agoAgreed. There have been some good articles here lately about email newsletters. Try searchyc.com to find them. Mixergy also has some good interviews with people running successful newsletter startups. Could also use it as an upsell product or free value add-on for people/companies using your game platform.

I did find a couple of interesting submissions through searchyc, in particular via http://searchyc.com/submissions/newsletter http://searchyc.com/submissions/newsletter and http://searchyc.com/submissions/email+newsletter http://searchyc.com/submissions/email+newsletter These are the mixergy interviews I've been able to find: * How Ideal Bite (a email newsletter company) sold for $20 Mil (http://mixergy.com/jen-boulden-ideal-bite-interview/ http://mixergy.com/jen-boulden-ideal-bite-interview/) * Peter Shankman HARO: The Email Newsletter That Grosses $1+ Mil A Year (http://mixergy.com/haro-peter-shankman/ http://mixergy.com/haro-peter-shankman/)
