“The Surprising Ways Niche Newsletters Cash In”

I recently read some amazing insights into how newsletters in the niche site world are making money, and I wanted to share them with you. After looking through about 500 emails from 30 different newsletters, I found 85 unique ways they're monetizing. The big earners are info products like courses and eBooks, affiliate marketing for courses and software, sponsorships, and services like link building. Interestingly, 38% of these newsletters promote at least one of their own products. Some even label affiliate links as sponsors—a sneaky but clever move. With impressive RPMs (SEO-related ones hitting $780), it's clear that with Google cracking down on traditional ads, focusing on email and product sales is where the real money is. (LINK)
