Welcome to the February edition of Not a Newsletter!

Before we dive into the stories in this issue, a big thank you to beehiiv, this quarter’s presenting sponsor of Not a Newsletter and Inbox Collective! They’re an all-in-one newsletter suite founded by ex-engineers at Morning Brew, and their tools are absolutely worth a closer look. You can check out beehiiv here.

In this month’s Google Doc, I’m sharing:

📈 The steps you’ll need to take to launch and start growing your own personal newsletter.

📚 How a French newsletter took the closing section of their newsletter, repackaged it into a book, and sold €60,000 worth of books.

💰 A useful guide to building a media kit to attract advertisers.

💬 A few great stories about using audience feedback to inform newsletter strategy.

...and a lot more!

I also want to shout out two more sponsors this month: Clout Monster, which helps your newsletter get major media attention, and Summari, an AI-powered tool that keeps readers on your website 86% longer. Both are worth a look!

And with that: Let's get into Not a Newsletter — there’s lots to learn in this issue!

I’m looking for a part-time editor...

One piece of news: My editor at Inbox Collective, Alex Hazlett, is moving on to a new full-time gig next week. Alex made the stories on Inbox Collective so much better, and she’s been a wonderful partner who’s helped shape the content strategy of the site. I’m going to miss working with her.

But it also means I’m looking for some part-time editing help (paid, of course) in 2023. If you’re reading this, it probably means you’re already pretty interested in newsletters — maybe you’ve got 5-10 hours a month to help out with Inbox Collective, too!
