For the past several months, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of paid newsletters on the Internet. From the rise of Substack to the continued importance of the creator economy, there are now opportunities for talented individuals to make money writing about the things they love. That being said, the actual process of creating and building a paid newsletter is easier said than done.

To learn more about navigating the hurdles to creating a great paid newsletter, Dubb founder Ruben Dua spoke with Simon Owens. Simon is the author of Simon Owens’s Tech and Media Newsletter on Substack. Before that, Simon was an editor at U.S. News and World Report and then worked with companies to help them with their content marketing work. Simon has an extensive career in publishing and the journalism industry, so we were excited to have him discuss everything there is to know about paid newsletters.

In their conversation, Ruben and Simon discuss many topics related to starting and building paid newsletters. Those topics include Simon’s background in the world of journalism, the basics behind Simon Owens’s Tech and Media Newsletter, how Simon thinks about the economics behind his business, how Google’s algorithm interacts with Simon’s newsletter, the power of consistency in publishing a paid newsletter, and why you need two years of content. Whether you are thinking of starting a paid newsletter or have been operating one for some time, you’ll definitely enjoy the conversation.
