How do I start a tech newsletter?

Make one clear promise (for example: "The tech news worth your time, without the hype."), 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 tech 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.
