Got my very FIRST Sponsor for TCB!

...and they booked 4 consecutive Sponsorship Slots! 🎉❤🚀

I've read many articles on monetizing newsletters. Almost every article suggests that you should at least reach 1,000 subscribers to attract Sponsors.

Lucky me, I didn't listen to them. 🙂

As you might have guessed by now, I LOVE EXPERIMENTING.

Also, I believe Newsletter Creators should experiment as much as they can when they have a smaller subscriber list. This gives room for correcting any mistakes and not going down the wrong path. Also, your readers are more forgiving when you're small and still trying to grow. So don't be lazy when it's about experimenting.

As soon as I hit 500 subs, I listed myself on all the platforms to let Sponsors know I'm available now. You absolutely need not wait until you hit 500 but this so far is the best lowest number to attract Sponsors if you have an engaged audience.

That's how I found Swapstack. Got my first introduction from a Sponsor and closed the deal in under an hour! :)

How did I convince them to book for 4 slots?

I'll be writing more about this in my Newsletter Guide which I'm planning to release by the end of month or early June. :)
