Why Transform Your Podcast into a Newsletter?

Podcasting is great, but newsletters are where the money is. Here's why smart creators are making the shift:

Podcast limitations:

  • Low CPM ($3-5 per 1000 listeners)
  • Platform dependency (Apple, Spotify)
  • Limited audience data
  • No direct relationship with listeners

Newsletter advantages:

  • High CPM ($75-150 per 1000 subscribers)
  • Owned audience (no platform dependency)
  • Rich analytics and segmentation
  • Direct relationship with subscribers
