Newsletters To Read Recently I put a call out to share your newsletters with me. I've enjoyed being a new subscriber reading these brilliant edits each week (and in some cases daily!) So I too have to share. If you're looking for some refreshing reading, find it here. - Esmé
Perfect is the enemy of good according to The Flywheel writer.
He's also the cofounder of Swapstack, the breakout marketplace connecting newsletter publishers and brands for advertising opportunities. Ahead of our upcoming bootcamp where he and his cofounder will be speaking, enjoy this interview where he chats with us about different monetization strategies.
How do you think about monetizing your newsletter?
I decided early on that I wanted to go the ads route (over subscriptions). When I topped 2,000 readers I started looking around for potential sponsors, and found them surprisingly difficult to find.
This led me to the early idea for what eventually became my current startup Swapstack. I realized that if I struggled to find sponsors, it’s likely that many others were in a similar position. After talking to tons of other writers and teaming up with my cofounder Jake Schonberger (who writes an awesome newsletter called The Premoney List, focused on early stage startups who are raising pre-seed and seed rounds), we decided there was enough here to go for it.
