Newsletter Success Launch Plan: 4 Effective Strategies to Kickstart Your Newsletter
from First Class Founders: Creators | Solopreneurs | Personal HoldCo · host Yong-Soo Chung
E22: Emails. They seem so old-school, right? You have to first write who you are sending them to. Then you write why you're sending them. Then you write what it is all about… So boring! And yet, as of November 2021, Substack had over a million paying subscribers and the top 10 authors on Substack collectively make $20 million per year. If that alone doesn't change your perception of regular ol' email as a powerful business on its own, maybe you should stop right here. Still here? Good. Because I'm devoting the rest of the episode to telling you how you can launch a successful newsletter.***TOPICS:Growing Business of Newsletters (1:00)Who Should Have a Newsletter?
