My big fat Beehiiv payday (screenshot inside)

Exciting news:

I recently got an offer from the Beehiiv Ad Network to run a sponsored ad in my newsletter.

The estimated payout?

A whopping $5.31:

This is because the ad pays out on a $2 cost-per-click (CPC) basis…

And since my newsletter’s only had a measly 750 subscribers at the time…

Beehiiv’s not exactly projecting an avalanche of clicks.

(Safe to say I won’t be moving into the penthouse just yet.)

Now, despite the paltry payday…

This experience reveals a valuable lesson for solopreneurs:

Content-driven emails are NOT the best way to monetize a small list.

In fact, they might be the WORST way.

That’s because you need 50,000 - 100,000+ followers or subscribers to earn a respectable income from selling ads inside your newsletter.

For example:

If you mail once a week…

You’d need to drive 2,500 clicks per month to earn $5k in revenue at this rate.

That’s 625 clicks (on an ad, mind you) per email.

A lofty benchmark most of us not named Justin Welsh will never reach.

That’s why I’m such a big fan of sending personality-driven emails instead.

Not only are they far more effective for…

- Building a healthy bond with your email subscribers
- Positioning you as an authority
- And attracting clients & customers who vibe with you

… but they’re also a hell of a lot more fun to write.

I dunno about you…

But writing nitty gritty “how to” content makes me want to roll up into in a ball and cry sometimes lol

Anyway…

If you’re a solopreneur looking to earn a high income from your email list…

Without having to become a capital-G “Internet Guru”...

Or amassing 50,000+ subscribers…
