🏆 Creator Plaques

🏆 Creator Plaques

Gunnar from Growjoy asked whether newsletter providers could start providing physical plaques for reaching milestones, like YouTube and other platforms do:

This is a great idea, but I think it should be on the total number of opens rather than subscribers (as anyone can just upload a list) or only on subs gained through the platform (i.e. uploads don’t count).

I’d personally love it if beehiiv were to launch plaques for reaching 10K subs, 100K subs and 1M subs (has anyone got there yet?!).

I think this could also be done for content websites, when people achieve 10K/100K/1M unique visits per month, by platforms such as Ezoic who would be able to verify.

If none of this happens, you can always just go out and buy your own from companies creating them, with Plaque To Reality being my favourite:

💸 Don’t Let Ad Revenue Fly Away

Most newsletter creators are pricing their ads way too low, as Shaan sets out in this tweet:

Impressions in newsletters should be valued way higher than display ads on websites, and in a completely different league to CPC/CPA you can get from Google / Facebook.

Rather than pitching to completely cold traffic, newsletter businesses have a real audience, who are regularly engaging with the content and developing a level of trust with the writer.

☝️ One More Thing

Scott Oldford, CEO/Founder of The Wisdom Group has been at it again.

Two weeks ago he acquired this newsletter, along with the newsletter marketplace Duuce, and he has just announced another newsletter acquisition:

8AM is a bite-sized daily email read by 1000s of creators and entrepreneurs and now joins the Wisdom Media family.

The founder, Christian Collard had a similar motivation to why I wanted to sell to Scott:
