A single operated newsletter may be the easiest business ventures to set up:
1) Create an account
2) Import your email list (Paidletter shows you how to grow one)
3) Connect to a payment system (we prefer Stripe) to receive payments.
Readers subscribe monthly or annually, and most publications offer a discount for the annual subscription.
In Emily’s words:
HEATED is a Monday through Thursday newsletter about the climate crisis. I created it in September 2019, after six years of covering climate politics for various news outlets in Washington, D.C.
HEATED approaches climate change not as a science or environmental story, but as a high-stakes corruption, power, and disinformation story. It also approaches climate change with the alarm and moral urgency the science tells us it deserves. It rejects the “view from nowhere,” which mainstream news outlets have historically favored on climate, thereby misinforming the public.
My political reporting career began in 2010, when I was a reporter for The Legislative Gazette in Albany, New York. I became one of Wayne’s research assistants in 2011, and we published pieces in The Nation, The Daily Beast, and Newsweek.
My climate change journalism career began in 2013, when I moved to Washington, D.C. for a climate reporter job at ThinkProgress. From early 2017 to late 2019, I covered climate change as a staff writer for The New Republic. My reporting on climate change has also appeared in publications like Slate, Mother Jones, Sojourners, CityLab, and The Hill. I’ve talked about my climate work on MSNBC, CSPAN, and NPR.
