Overview

<p>My product is a lean, high-performing newsletter built for entrepreneurs who value productivity, business strategy, and zero fluff.</p><p>It delivers practical, action-focused content to a loyal audience — and it does so with minimal overhead, no tech stack, and zero ad spend.</p><p>I launched it with one goal: to create something useful, not noisy. Since then, it’s grown entirely through organic reach, mainly via Substack Notes (which now acts like Twitter for professionals) and a few posts on my Medium.</p><p>The model works — it’s already generated $3,275 in affiliate commissions from Sunsama alone (810 signups), all from a simple link placement.</p><p>Each issue takes just 1–2 hours to create. No paid tools. No team. No complicated tech. Just a smooth system that consistently delivers value and revenue.</p><p>You’re not just buying content. You’re acquiring a proven digital asset with built-in monetization, an engaged audience, and a brand that’s ready to scale.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul><li>Subscribers: 1,470+</li><li>Annual revenue: $3,275</li><li>Annual profit: $3,275 (projection, minimal expenses)</li><li>Churn rate: Very low (since it’s free + email list is stable)</li><li>CAC: $0 (100% organic growth)</li><li>Business margin: 100% (no expenses, no tools, no paid promotion)</li><li>Format: Simple 1-issue/week format, easy to run solo.</li></ul><p><b>Team</b></p><p>It’s a one-person operation. I handle everything. The workflow is streamlined and simple, making it easy for one person to manage.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>Substack.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>Growth has been 100% organic. Most subscribers come directly from Substack, which is becoming the Twitter or Instagram for professionals. I regularly post on Substack Notes — a feature similar to tweets, which brings in steady traffic from their millions of monthly readers. I also promote the newsletter occasionally through my Medium account. No paid ads or external campaigns have been used so far.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>The newsletter has earned over $3,200 through affiliate commissions with almost zero expenses, making it highly profitable. All growth has been organic, so CAC is $0, and retention has been strong with low churn.</p><p><b>Startup assets<b></b></b></p><ul><li>Email list with 1,400+ subscribers</li><li>Full archive of past issues and articles</li><li>Branding and logo assets</li><li>Domain</li></ul><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>The main risk is reliance on one affiliate program. I earned most revenue through Sunsama, but when they changed their terms, it impacted my income. The upside: the audience clearly converts. With better affiliate diversification, earnings can grow well beyond current levels.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>This newsletter has a loyal, organically grown audience, proven affiliate earnings, and zero-cost operations — all without ads, sponsorships, or paid growth. It’s easy to run, highly profitable, and still untapped in terms of monetization potential. With diversified affiliates or sponsorships, it can scale quickly into a high-ROI digital asset.</p></br>✅ $3,275 in Annual Revenue✅ 1,474 customers✅ Business model: Affiliate✅ Built with Substack

Expenses

$0 — there are no recurring expenses. The newsletter is run entirely on free tools (Substack, Medium, etc.).

Business Model

Affiliate-based model, with all revenue generated through relevant product recommendations in the newsletter. The main affiliate has been Sunsama, which paid $100 per signup — resulting in $3,200+ in commissions. No paid subscriptions or sponsorships yet.

Target Audience

Entrepreneurs and professionals.

Asking Price Reasoning

The price reflects $3,275 in profit, zero expenses, and a loyal audience. You're buying a proven, low-effort asset with real upside and built-in growth.

Reason for Selling

I’m shifting focus to new projects and no longer have the time to grow the newsletter the way it deserves. It’s a solid, low-maintenance asset — I just want to pass it on to someone who can take it further.

Growth Opportunity

Growth can come from adding more relevant affiliate programs, introducing a paid tier or sponsorships. Repurposing content on LinkedIn or Twitter and using simple lead magnets can also expand reach and boost conversions.
