You should check out HARO (help a reporter out). That's a 3ish times a day newsletter that goes out. Reporters who need quotes, information, contacts, etc list the stories they're working on and what they need, and then it goes out to x00,000 people. Their newsletter is free, but at the top is a sponsored paragraph/text blurb about a product/services/etc. I think that is a much better monetization strategy than getting people to pay $15/m.
