A mix of both.
I sell one sponsor slot per edition. The current rate is $250 and I send 8 newsletters per month. This slot is sold out months in advance and the price should probably be bumped up.
I have Amazon affiliate links where it makes sense on the blog posts themselves but this only generates a couple hundred on the best months. I should also invest more time into this going forward.
- silicon2401 4y agoSo to be clear, your email newsletter costs nothing to subscribers, but your income is through selling that sponsor slot? That's interesting. I wouldn't have imagined there's so much money to make in email newsletters from advertisements
- ryangilbert 4y agoCorrect! It's 100% free to sign up as a reader of the newsletter and all the revenue comes from sponsors putting their message in front of these readers.
- silicon2401 4y agocongrats on the success, it sounds pretty awesome, and thanks for sharing your story
