Starting an email newsletter can be one of the best businesses you can start. In this article, we discuss 5 Reasons Why You Need To Create An Email Newsletter.
1. Extremely Lucrative
The cost of starting and up-keeping a profitable email newsletter is so small, it’s ridiculous. An email newsletter can have some of the largest profit margins in the online business world.

The average numbers in the industry is $1 per month per email subscriber. You can earn more or less depending on how engaged your subscribers are. However, lets take the average figure of $1 per month per email subscriber.
This means that if you build and email list of 10,000 subscribers [which can be done in less than a year], you’ll be making $10,000 per month. Since your up-keep is low, most of that income will be profit.
2. More Profitable Than A Blog
If you calculate the amount of effort you would put into a blog or pay someone to do, the numbers are high in comparison to an email newsletter.

An email newsletter is so much simpler. Besides having writers, there’s not that many tools you need besides having a landing page to capture names and emails.
Since, you need less tools the amount of you’ll spend will be cheaper. And since an email subscriber is more likely to be worth more than a blog visitor, your level of profitability with an email newsletter will be higher.

You can outsource many of the tasks you have when running an email newsletter. The biggest task is the creation of content in your email newsletter and running paid advertisements [if you choose to].
Luckily, you can hire quality writers at very reasonable prices online. You can also do the same for your media buyers.
Once you find a writer and a media buyer you like, it’s as simple as getting them to do a task and you pay them. You don’t have to have anyone on your payroll, they can be contractors.
