Transcripts
let me ask you something do you want to
make thousands of dollars per month
without having to hire a team or have to
hustle your butt off yes well this
business model I'm going to be sharing
more about is fast becoming a popular
and profitable Revenue stream whether
you're a professional a content creator
or an online educator if you love to
write then you're in the right place
because starting a newsletter could be
an amazing side hustle or additional
Revenue stream in your own business I
know what you're thinking but yes a
newsletter can make you thousands of
dollars per month from affiliate links
sponsorships and subscriptions and as
more and more business owners become so
frustrated with the algorithms on social
media newsletters are fast becoming a
way for you to actually generate revenue
and connect with your audience in a way
that is so profitable think about it
like this your ideal client can comes
across your Instagram page for the first
time maybe stalks a couple of your
photos loves what they're seeing gives
you a follow but then they never ever
see content from you again because your
content isn't getting the reach to that
person in contrast imagine if that same
person came across your content whether
it be on social media or maybe YouTube
or a blog or some other platform and you
have a call to action to subscribe to
your newsletter now if that person
subscribes to your newsletter gives you
their email address then they're going
to be receiving every email you send
unlike social media where you are bound
by an algorithm as to whether your
content is actually displayed to your
followers
each subscriber that's on your list will
receive your email newsletter which
means you have total control of your
content so this is why newsletters are
becoming something that a lot of
creators are talking about and saying
you need to get started with an email
newsletter because relying on social
media isn't enough anymore in this video
I'm going to be sharing how you can get
started with your email newsletter in
one of these five profitable niches
right now the best thing about starting
an email newsletter is you don't need
any money to get started you can get
started for free and my favorite
platform to get started with an email
newsletter is beehive it's an all-in-one
platform that helps you grow your list
engage your subscribers and build out a
revenue stream plus it's free up to two
and a half thousand subscribers which is
pretty much the best around so you can
sign up for a free trial using my link
below and check out my video which
shares a whole review of the platform
after you've watched this one so the
first Niche is business and marketing so
this is the niche I've decided to focus
on which is kind of obvious considering
all the content that I create on this
channel but there are a lot of people
focusing on this niche as well so it's
pretty competitive so if you are wanting
to focus on a business and marketing
Niche then you need to create some sort
of differentiation something that makes
you unique and whether that be your tone
of voice the things you talk about or
maybe you do talk about a specific
industry or type of marketing my
newsletter the content Society has a
focus on helping you become a better
creative marketer I share a combination
of my own insights and opinions with
trending news and even our little weekly
meme to bring in some personality some
of the most popular business newsletters
as in millions of subscribers include
morning brew and the hustle both of
which have been acquired for millions of
dollars yep Millions the reason why
business and marketing newsletters are
so profitable is because huge Brands
like HubSpot Squarespace Shopify are
wanting to get in front of audiences
that are interested in this particular
topic so there's two ways you can go
with this one you could go down the
sponsorship angle or the affiliate link
so if you're wanting to go down the
sponsorship Avenue which is the one you
can make the most money from then you
are going to need a sizable list so
generally 10 000 subscribers plus and
you can charge accordingly based on how
many subscribers you have the affiliate
link option is a much simpler one to get
started with especially if you have a
small list you can sign up to a partner
program of one of these big Brands and
then get commission if someone clicks
that link and actually purchases or opts
into their service some of the affiliate
programs I'm a part of are kajabi flow
desk beehive hobby copy and tubebuddy
because these are all products that I
use in my own business but if you're
wanting to find some of the most
profitable affiliate programs then go
and check out my video which shares
seven of these These are the highest
paying and the easiest to share with
your audience number two is finance and
trading so if you are an expert in the
finance Niche or maybe you're in stock
trading or crypto trading or something
like that then people are gonna want to
know what you know if you're able to
communicate this complex Topic in really
simple layman's terms in a newsletter
then you're going to have a million
subscribers so quickly one of the big
players in this space is the milk road
so this is a daily cryptocurrency
newsletter focused on explaining what's
happening in plain English the
newsletter saw subscriber growth from
zero to 250
000 subscribers in just 10 months when I
was acquired again sponsorship and
Affiliates work really well in this
Niche there's loads of finance companies
out there that are wanting to reach
specific audiences and have affiliate
programs or whatever you know build
sponsorship relationships with Brands
but also if you're a true expert in this
Niche and you can provide Extra Value a
subscription model works really well the
third Niche is health and wellness so
this particular industry is booming and
is making billions of dollars per year
from protein powders to yoga pants to
health coaching to online programs this
is such a broad industry that you can be
tapping into and able to leverage in
your email newsletters maybe you're
working in the health and wellness space
and you're a personal trainer or a yoga
teacher and you can be sharing workouts
or recipes or some other piece of
content that's really interesting and
engaging for your audience and then you
can add some affiliate links to those
products like protein powders or
supplements that often offer a discount
for their Partners so that means that
you can be passing on some sort of
discount which acts as an incentive for
your subscribers to actually buy and
then you make a commission from that
purchase so it's really a win-win for
both you and these health and wellness
Brands this works particularly well if
you're already an influence are in the
niche maybe you've built a Instagram
following or a tick tock following and
you're already building some of these
relationships and these Partnerships you
can just convert these into your
newsletter as well some of the brands
you might want to look into are Fitbit
iherb and Lululemon who offer affiliate
programs and they're all really popular
brands and trusted brands that your
audience is going to love Niche number
four is personal essays so if you love
writing and you've built an audience
whether this be on social media Twitter
Instagram or you've actually created a
blog or you're creating content on
medium then your personal essays can be
a really nice way to build that
relationship and your personal brand
with your audience so as an influencer
or a content creator you may be an
expert in a particular Niche or have had
experience doing something that your
audience wants to know more about and
really dive into telling that personal
story each week and draw on your
experience to share how to's or strategy
days or even opinion pieces about what's
happening in the industry you're
involved in I've noticed a lot of
writers diving into this space because
platforms like Instagram have never felt
quite right because that visual element
is a really tricky component for them to
create so they're leveraging newsletters
to take their free content and actually
start making money from it build on
whatever your audience loves you for
those opinions and thoughts and charge a
subscription model so this may mean that
you have a free version of your
newsletter as well as a paid version or
it may be that a portion of your
newsletter is free with the rest being
paid and these work really well
especially if you're a really
interesting writer you've got
interesting thoughts on particular
topics and people can be so engaged with
the content that you're creating
obviously you can still add affiliate
links and sponsorships but I'm finding
that that subscription model works
really well even if it's just five
dollars a month which is a total
no-brainer for people that love what
you're up to that love your opinion love
your thoughts and they can be receiving
that Weekly email or bi-weekly email and
Niche number five is technology so not
only do people that are interested in
technology want to sign up for
newsletters about technology updates
because they want to be the first to
know but technology companies generally
have pretty Deep Pockets so from that
sponsorship and affiliate angle you can
start building those Partnerships and
make revenue from the content that
you're sharing the news updates the
reviews or the opinion pieces that you
can include in your newsletter tldr is
the perfect example of a newsletter
honing in on this Niche now with 1.25
million subscribers so not only do they
have one newsletter that goes out to the
entire list each day they also allow you
to segment yourself based on specific
Tech interests you have which means
you'll receive more relevant content
based on what it is you're interested in
obviously this is a big newsletter
they've got lots of writers so they able
to do stuff like this but that's that
scalability so from a newsletter you can
start off really small start off for
free and then build and build and build
so if you are wanting to get started
straight away for free then go and check
out beehive via the link below and sign
up for that free trial and don't forget
to watch my review video which goes into
detail about how beehive is such an
incredible platform to help you grow
your list and monetize it so quickly so
