How I'm Scaling My Newsletter from $2–3k to $10K/Month (Without Burning Out or Selling My Soul)

And a $10k Secrets Free Book

Most newsletter growth advice sounds like someone yelling into a void in 2019.

“Pick a niche!” “Be consistent!” “Give value!”

And dedicate a year or two to toxic social media to grow your list to a painful 2000 to 5000 (if you’re lucky).

Plus: lead magnets, landing pages, funnels…

Great! But I wanted revenue. Predictable, scalable, monthly cash. Not likes. Not followers. Not vague “potential.” Actual income. Something I could build on.

And I wated it faster…

I didn’t have a huge audience. I wasn’t famous on Twitter. I did go viral on Medium, but that brought me just 60 subscribers in 7 months.

What I did have?

• A marketing and sales background.

• A serious respect for systems and tech.

• Zero tolerance for vague advice that’s not tested.

I used that to build what I now call a solution-centric newsletter business, which I scaled to $2–3K/month in about 90 days, and am now ramping to $10K/month using the exact same list.

No social media. No chasing followers. No begging people to “join my list.”

And I wrote a chapter for a free book called “10k Secrets”, explaining exactly how (I leave nothing behind).

There’s nothing “lucky” about this strategy.

And I’m not pretending it’s easy.

But it is repeatable and scalable, if you treat your newsletter like a business, not a blog.

In my chapter I break down exactly how to:

1. Pick one offer. Make it convert. THEN scale.

2. Use automation to sell.

3. Post like it’s your job (not when you feel like it).

4. Price with logic.

5. Sell with psychology.

6. Keep the reader moving in your funnel.

You don’t need a personal brand. You need a sales machine on the backend.

You’ve got the playbook here.

Don’t just copy it. Adapt it to your needs. Thank me later.

Stay Unplugged!
