We know firsthand how hard it can be to manage, run, grow, and monetize a newsletter operation.

But let's face it – the environment for publishers is challenging and getting tougher. Ad spending has declined for the last six months and is projected to decrease even further in 2023. And 74% of digital ad spend goes to the big three platform companies. In this climate, first-party data has never been more critical. Publishers need to own their audience directly and control the contact information. Building trust-based, long-term engagement is how publishers get secure revenue and lifetime value. Email is the best channel for this, with a 40:1 ROI as a marketing and engagement channel.
Unfortunately, most publishers are leaving value on the table with their email lists. 90% of publishers say the email channel is vital to the future of their business, but only 22% say their increasing investments are paying off. Publishers have some of the lowest-rated emails according to consumers. It's time to flip the script and get more out of your newsletters. We've put together this comprehensive guide that digs into the key strategies publishers should use to take their operations to the next stage. For now, here's a glimpse into the four strategies to help you do just that:

If you’re thinking of monetizing your email newsletter, then you might want to consider looking for sponsors. Securing a good sponsorship deal can be beneficial for everyone involved. For you, of course, it will mean generating revenue. For your sponsors, it will mean access to ready-made audiences, which in turn will get exposure to new brands, products, or services that give them value.
Email newsletters are a big deal, being the third most common form of content distribution after a company's website and social media. But, while the latter here are great for pulling in new people and upping interest in your business, they alone are unlikely to drive reader retention entirely like email is.
