About the monetization of the newsletter
I monetize through newsletter referrals, beehiiv ad network, very few local ads, paid subscriptions. Haven't focused on monetization at all - just growth

Strengths
growth

20 minutes to write
captured 3% of local market
Opportunities
Keep running the ads I've been running from the start because they have amazing CPAs. Start reaching out to local businesses to sell ad slots. Sub out the writing to a VA - I have SOPs in place to write, and using ChatGPT they only take 20 minutes.
