Everyone seems to be launching a newsletter, but very few people are making meaningful money from one.
This session will look at the practical realities of building a paid newsletter, from finding your audience and growing subscribers to creating a product people are willing to pay for.
The workshop is led by Rosie Taylor, Health & Consumer Affairs journalist, who launched her own Substack newsletter in 2025. It quickly became a bestseller and now forms a significant part of her income.
Rosie covers:
- Coming up with the idea – how to work out your niche, target audience, newsletter style and frequency
- The practical stuff – how to choose a newsletter platform, branding, marketing & how to gain subscribers
- Finances – how and when should you ask people to pay, what income can you realistically expect and the non-financial benefits
