Course Syllabus
Who This Course Is For
You have expertise, opinions, or insights that other people would pay attention to. Maybe you’ve been posting on social media and realized the algorithm decides who sees your work. Maybe you’ve seen newsletter creators build sustainable businesses and wondered how they did it.
Email is the one channel you actually own. No algorithm decides whether your subscribers see your content. No platform can throttle your reach. In 2026, while social platforms wrestle with algorithm volatility and AI-curated feeds, email continues doing what it’s always done: reliably reaching people who chose to hear from you.
What You’ll Build
By the end of this course, you’ll have a fully set up newsletter with a content strategy, growth system, and monetization plan. You’ll know how to write compelling content with AI assistance, grow your list from zero, and earn revenue through multiple streams.
Course Overview
The newsletter economy is booming. Paid subscriptions generated $19 million in 2025 — a 138% jump from the previous year. But the real money isn’t in subscriptions alone: top newsletters run 2-4 revenue streams simultaneously, combining sponsorships, affiliate partnerships, digital products, and paid tiers. This course teaches you the entire system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an existing audience to start a newsletter?
No. This course teaches you how to build from zero. You'll learn growth tactics — referral programs, lead magnets, cross-promotions, and content distribution — that work even if you're starting with no subscribers.
Which newsletter platform should I use?
Lesson 2 covers this in detail. Short answer: Beehiiv for growth-focused media, Kit for creators selling products, Substack for writers who want simplicity. All have free tiers.
How does AI help with newsletter creation?
AI helps at every stage: brainstorming topics, drafting content, writing subject lines, personalizing for segments, analyzing performance, and optimizing send times. You'll learn to use AI as a writing partner that amplifies your voice rather than replacing it.
How soon can I monetize?
Some strategies (affiliate links, digital product recommendations) work from day one. Sponsorships typically start at 1,000+ subscribers. The course teaches multiple revenue streams so you can start earning regardless of list size.
