A Solo Person Business You Can Start Today (And Without Money)
Newsletters are so 1990s. Who even reads email anymore in the TikTok era?
If you're thinking the same way, let me tell you something.
Launching a newsletter has been one of the best business decisions of my life.
Yes, I just used “newsletter” and “business” in the same sentence!
I know it sounds about as thrilling as getting socks for Christmas.
But don’t knock it until you try it.
So, why do I believe newsletters are such an effective way to make money online?
Let me share my personal experience and insights with you.
EXPLAINING THE BASICS
Newsletter Allows You To Own Your Audience
Like it or not, on social media platforms, your followers don’t really belong to you.
The platform owns them.
And if you ever get kicked off or banned from a social media site, poof!
Your audience can disappear overnight.
With a newsletter, the subscribers are yours. You own that relationship and the communication channel.
This leads to my second point…
THE BUSINESS IDEA
You Control The Revenue Streams
On social platforms, you’re dependent on advertising revenue, affiliate commissions, or whatever monetization options the platform allows.
But with your newsletter, you decide what to promote, what courses to sell, and which affiliate programs to join.
You’re not constrained by someone else’s rules.
THE REASON FOR STARTING
Trends come and go, but email isn’t going anywhere.
In fact, email marketing has one of the highest ROIs of any marketing channel.
All three of these points are extremely important if you want to have a successful online business.
To achieve this, it is crucial to own your audience, have control over your income streams, and use effective selling techniques.
Newsletters I started years ago continue to earn passive income every month as my subscriber base grows.
Low maintenance — check.
Reliable income stream — confirmed.
And the process is very simple.
You start by building a landing page where you offer a free gift or lead magnet.
People subscribe to you, and they receive an automated email sequence from you, also known as a sales funnel.
You can make money from your sales funnel, as well as from your regular daily, weekly, or monthly emails.
TOOLS YOU CAN USE
When starting out, you need tools to help you with your projects. Here are some tools I use on a daily basis.
For YouTube Channels
Voice overs - ElevenLabs, Murf
Email providers - Beehiiv (this newsletter), ConvertKit
Disclosure: Some of the links above may contain affiliate partnerships, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I may earn a commission if you click through to make a purchase.
The most challenging aspect is driving traffic to your landing page, which is where the magic happens.
So, give it a try — start small and focus on serving your subscribers.
You might be surprised where it can take you!
Have a nice day,
