How to monetize newsletters on LinkedIn

Earlier this month, I sent a newsletter to my audience with the subject line: "Ask me a question." Basically I told everyone to jump in the comments section of the post and ask me any questions they have about the media industry or creator economy.   Several of you did pipe in with some amazing questions. I then invited on Alexis Grant, the founder of They Got Acquired, to help me answer them.   We answered questions on a range of topics like   How to monetize newsletters on LinkedIn How we'd go about launching a local news outlet from scratch The future of paid newsletters How The Messenger should have spent its $50 million in VC cash.   This Q&A episode is actually part of an ongoing series. Every single month I'll allow my subscribers to submit questions, and I'm going to do my very best to answer at least one question from every single subscriber. The only way to submit questions is by becoming a paid subscriber to my substack newsletter.    Subscribers also receive a calendly link from me that allows them to book a half-hour introductory phone call. Many of my subscribers use it as an opportunity to tell me about their own media businesses and pick my brain on strategy.   To subscribe, go to https://simonowens.substack.com/
