I was paid $573.75 for one email


Hi Reader,

I got this email from ConvertKit a few days ago.

I run sponsored slots in my newsletter a few times a month.

And ConvertKit wanted to connect me with an advertiser.

If you go through my newsletter library, you'll find some more examples.

The ConvertKit team proposes sponsorships every other week.

I review the advertiser and check it aligns with my brand.

I don't accept them all, though.

But when I find one I like...

I edit the copy.

And I write an email like this one.

Then, I click send.

A few weeks later, ConvertKit deposited the funds into my bank account.

It's a simple but straightforward business model.

Any writer can do it.

You just need one thing.

Hi Reader, What are half of searchers doing after typing a term into Google? NOTHING. That’s according to a joint study by SEO companies SparkToro and Datos. Enter the world of zero-click search, where Google serves up content scraped from people’s sites and slaps it in front of readers without sending traffic in return. And get this: 30% of searchers who click are going to another Google-owned property, such as YouTube, Google Images, or Google News. As somebody who built a writing business...
