THE BIG INSIGHT
THE NEWSLETTER OPERATOR AGENCY
In last 5 editions, I shared smart startup ideas but those ideas require skills, determination, and proper planning.
But today I want to share a startup idea that requires no fancy college degree or any technical knowledge.
and this idea can literally make you $10,000 every month.
What’s that idea? Newsletters!
Hear me out! I know it’s boring, it’s not flashy and it’s not modern-looking but Newsletters will explode in next 12 months.
The Newsletter economy is getting bigger and bigger and no one is noticing it.
Here are some details:
Beehiiv (a newsletter publishing platform) is making $500,000 every month after just 18 months in business.
Top 27 Newsletters on Substack (another Newsletter publishing platform) are generating more than $1 Million in revenue every year.
Sparkloop + Beehiiv Boosts (Newsletter recommendation system) is paying $2 for every subscriber you bring on board.
Morning Brew, The Hustle, and Milkroad (Top Newsletters) were acquired for $10 Million+ in just last 2 years.
Brands are paying $2500+ to high-quality newsletters for just 1 primary ad slot in their newsletter edition.
I can share 20 more facts, and figures about growing newsletter economy but that’s not the point. The main thing is this:
Websites started Web Development Agencies
Apps started App development agencies
Content creation started Ghostwriting agencies.
Now is the time to start “Newsletter Agency”
If you read my last newsletter, I shared a stat that there are 2 Million professional content creators who are full-time creators.
How many of them own a Newsletter? I don’t think so even 2%.
That’s a far bigger opportunity than starting a new SMMA agency, Marketing Agency or Ghostwriting agency.
You need to start something that is not saturated, that has immense potential to grow and that is proven.
Newsletter Media companies have not yet explored. It has immense potential to grow. I know creators who are making $100,000/month just from their newsletters.
And I also know small creators that are making $5,000 to $10,000 every month by just writing content for exclusive audience.
Newsletter audience is 8x more likely to buy your service product or course than any other traffic source because they trust you, they already know you.
And now comes the fun part. With AI I can work on 4-5 Newsletters at one time. That means I can make 5x more money than any other Newsletter creator.
And that’s why I am building HypeGenius: An AI Agent that can write and publish newsletters for you on a daily or weekly basis.
But I am not launching HypeGenius as a Newsletter generator tool for a $30/month subscription.
I am launching HypeGenius to build Newsletter Operator Agencies on top of this platform.
It’ll be a High-level product available for only an exclusive audience.
You guys will be the first ones to hear about HypeGenius and there will definitely be discounts for our AI Startup communities.
The bottom line is, I am going all in on Newsletters for the next 12 months. I validated my theory and I know my Newsletters will bring $10,000 in revenue every month. So, owning 5 Newsletters will generate $50,000 MRR.
So If you want to take advantage of this solid opportunity. This is what you need to do.
Start a Newsletter on Beehiiv (simplest of all, most innovative platform till now)
Don’t start any old-school lead gen agency. Start a Newsletter Operator Agency.
(*If you don’t know what is a Growth Partner model, I’ll break it down tomorrow on Twitter.)
Leverage AI to write High-Quality Newsletters. You can easily make $10,000 with only 3-4 clients.
Scale your agency to $50,000 MRR in next 8 months by training a team of 2 more Newsletter Operators.
Start with an AI-powered Newsletter for yourself, then Start an AI-powered Newsletter Operator Agency. Scale your Newsletter Agency to $50K/month. Enjoy the Digital Nomad lifestyle!
I still don’t think I did justice to this topic today. But if you trust me, dive deep and research about Newsletters. I am 100% sure you’ll understand the true potential.
Join me in building a sustainable digital business that you can literally say “You own it.”
* If you have anyyyyyyyyy questions about this topic. Don’t shy away from replying to this letter or even DM me on Twitter. Even if there are 100 emails/messages I’ll reply to every single one of them. Just take action, my friend.
