@dylan_bridger @NewsletterConf Amen

@louisnicholls_ @NewsletterConf Dan Kennedy knew what he was talking about when he said: "Whoever can spend the most money to acquire a customer wins" Customer in this case = newsletter sub lol

I met 2 kinds of newsletter operators at @NewsletterConf: 1️⃣ operators trying to find ways to lower subscriber acquisition costs 2️⃣ operators trying to find ways to make more $ so they can justify higher sub acquisition costs No prizes for guessing which group is killing it.

Another great @NewsletterConf in year 2. Catching up with old friends, current partners, and meeting a bunch of new connections. And as always the @JayCoDon and @AdamRy_n show always entertains and wakes up the crowd. When are you two launching a podcast? Guaranteed to be a hit.

Was an honor to share the stage with great company at this year's @NewsletterConf . Thank you to @jwatkins520 & @ryansager for putting together a great event for this industry once again and for getting me on stage for the first and hopefully not last time in my career!

.@JayCoDon and @AdamRy_n are back for a grudge match. Adam's bringing all the hard questions. And Jacob is being very open w/ his answers.

For @future_boye at @thefutureparty, they are always looking at they're good at and wondering how they can turn it into a product or a service. A big piece of that is monetizing their community-building.

At @every, reporters and the product team are working together to develop AI software, including an inbox organization product (Cora) and a file organizer (Sparkle).

Accoring to Rob: At @MorningBrew, the podcast business is hot. We look for brands looking to buy newsletters & podcast.

Continuing on the topic local news, @akoto_oa of @CapitalBNews: A lot of cool shit is happening in the nonprofit local news speech. It might not be scalable, but it has real impact.

On the topic of local newsletters, @ryanheafy of @6amcity: People aren’t thinking about newsletters from a business perspective. They aren't thinking about their P&L. They are too focused on the content. And it’s not sustainable in the long run.

Louis: Monetize the thank-you page. Aine: Don’t be afraid to do things that don’t scale. Nathan: Build a flywheel. Manny: Make your landing page stupidly simple. Dan: Anywhere you’re asking for an email address, ask them to sign up for a newsletter signup as well.

Both @Mosheh & @tarapalmeri have found that it's hard to move users from one platform to another. Social media platforms don't want your readers/followers to leave their apps.

.@tarapalmeri's Red Letter isn't just a newsletter, but she's also on YouTube and has a podcast. But she's seeing revenue growth on @substack, so she's putting more focus there.

.@Mosheh: “It’s difficult to innovate at legacy media companies,” It also doesn’t help that a lot of people have lost trust in traditional media, too, he adds.

We're talking independent media companies at The Newsletter Conference w/ Kinsey Grant Baker, Co-Founder & Head of Content, Smooth Media, @tarapalmeri, creator of The Red Letter @Ike_Saul , founder @TangleNews, & @Mosheh, founder of Mo News.
