The process creates a revolving door, with each platform pushing traffic back to the others. This system generates a significant influx of new members to her group weekly, helping her warm up potential clients and showcase her authenticity."

Matt McGarry on what it takes to make seven figures per year from your newsletter.

"The math

At 100,000 subscribers and a 50% open rate, you can sell newsletter sponsorships for $2,500 each ($50 CPM). If you sell 1 sponsorship in each newsletter at that rate, that’s $390,000 per year in sponsorship revenue.

If you convert 2.5% of subscribers into course buyers (2,500), that’s $625,000 in course revenue per year.

Total annual revenue = $1,015,000"
