Hello, lovely business owner!
Let me guess, you want more people on your list, but you don't want to waste your life posting on Instagram or figuring out why Meta changed the entire ads center just to make it worse?
Organic traffic is great when you get it, but it's unpredictable and some of us aren't made to live on TikTok (or post 52 part viral stories about our sketchy ex-husbands).
Instead, you can get good, quick growth without forgoing your next rent payment.
It's not SEO, or Pinterest, or appearing on podcasts.
It's newsletter ads!
I.e., a short ad for your freebie, newsletter, webinar, or podcast, that appears in someone else's newsletter.
In the past 3 years, I've used newsletter ads to get at least 9,000 of my 11,000 subscribers.
And no one's talking about this! Well, it's the internet, somebody probably is.
But there's no other place to learn how to find newsletter ads, the best ways to advertise, and get critique on your copy...all in one workshop!
Before the workshop details, here are a few things that make newsletter ads so great:
Hit Targeted Audiences Without Algorithms
Every newsletter already has a targeted audience. If you want to reach millennial moms who want parenting help in Toronto, you can find a newsletter that fits. That way, you never have to mess around in Meta and wonder why $.69 leads became $126 leads (a real thing that happened to me). Instead, you pick newsletters that fit your audience, hand over the copy, pay one time, and see the new subscribers roll in.
Sign Ups for Under $3 a Lead
Newsletter ads typically range from $25 - $400 per ad. Some email marketing spots for big publications might go up to $650 - $1000. For nearly all of these ads, I got results for less than $3 per lead. Some were as low as $1. I'd happily pay $3 a person if it means I had to do half as much (or almost zero) social media promotion. Way less effort + much bigger audience = no burnout for you.
Support Other Creators While Growing Your List
Who wants to pay Google, Meta, or Elon? No one. No one wants to give them a dime. Instead of wondering if your hard earned money went to building another golden dick rocket, you can directly support creators. These newsletters operators are small business owners, writers, and coaches themselves. So, you get to keep creators in business while growing your own.
Whether you're...
- A coach/business owner who wants to grow their client base without feeling like a ShamWow salesman
- A service provider who wants to grow their list in a low stress way
- An author wanting to grow their platform
- A creative looking to build an audience for their newsletter
You're in the right place!
Imagine sending a few emails, writing some short copy, and knowing new subscribers are on the way.

Hello, I'm Amber Petty!
I’m Amber Petty, I've been a writer for 8 years for places like the New York Times, Parade, Greatist, Bustle, and more.
5 years ago, I started a newsletter and got...20 subscribers and gave up.
But 3 years ago, I shifted my topic, learned how to get through "no one wants your newsletter" thoughts, and figured out how to keep growing without giving myself 4924 marketing tasks every day. Now, I have 11,000 subscribers and my newsletter's gone out every single week.
Because of my newsletter, I was able to leave my full-time copywriting job, teach delightful people how to get bylines, and make $110,000 in my first year and $527,000 all-time (about 3 years).
An audience is a miracle for any writer. Though ads cost a bit of money, they save so much time! I'd probably have 3000 subscribers right now, if I never found newsletter ads. My first newsletter campaign cost about $100 and helped me make $15,000. A $7000 campaign brought in $64,000.
I can't promise these exact numbers, of course. But I guarantee if you put some money into simple ads that save you time, help you grow,, and make your work a serious, business priority...that's going to pay off. Either in straight up ROI cash or extreme confidence in your work (or both). Not a bad trade for 130 characters.
