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.
The newsletter is written by Todd L. Burns.
In his words:
“You can find out more about me—and my career in music journalism—in the first edition of the newsletter. But here’s the short version: I’ve been a music editor and journalist since 2002, and involved with a few different publications over the years. In 2002, I co-founded Stylus Magazine, an early (friendly) competitor to Pitchfork. (Many of the writers from Stylus went on to bigger and better things.) Later, I went on to the world’s largest independent online electronic music magazine, Resident Advisor, where I shaped and helped execute the site’s first editorial strategy. After that, I worked at Yadastar, a creative agency that developed various projects for Red Bull, including the Red Bull Music Academy.”
