Building a profitable newsletter and selling it for $75K

Without writing any of the content.

And all done in 6 months.

Sounds difficult? Actually a ridiculously simple idea executed well 👇
Back in April Lotanna Ezeike was inspired by an episode of the My First Million podcast.

Seeing a gap in the market, he started an erotic newsletter for black women.

So he set up a substack and found a writer to write one story per month for £250
He started out charging subscribers £5 per month but after a couple of months he raised the price to £50 (in Lotanna’s words: “for fun”)

Initial traffic all came from paid ads on porn sites.

Quickly taking revenue to £6K per month
Last month Lotanna sold the newsletter to a private buyer for $75K.

Not bad for 6 months work as a side project. And never writing any of the content.

Great work @lottsxpo and thanks @theSamParr and @ShaanVP for talking about it on the podcast
