Questions people ask
- How do I start a family newsletter?
- Make one clear promise (for example: "Ideas, honesty and the odd shortcut for busy families."), pick a name that's easy to say, choose a day and stick to it, and write your first issue before you promote it.
- Can a family newsletter make money?
- Yes, in two ways: readers who pay to support you, and sponsors. On iynbox, sponsors are found and placed for you in free editions, and writers earn a share once they have more than 50 subscribers.
