We’ve worked with 200+ newsletter operators, creators, and founders to create this live, 5-week program.
We directly address the biggest challenges operators under $1M/year face: subscribers, sales, content, and profit.
Your newsletter is bleeding your time and money.
You're spending months building a subscriber list that everyone celebrates on Twitter, but your Stripe balance tells a different story.
The real reasons why your newsletter isn't generating the revenue it should:
1
You're chasing vanity metrics
You celebrate hitting 5,000 subscribers with $100 in revenue while watching operators with smaller lists pull $10K+ per month because attention means nothing if you cannot convert it into clients, sponsorships, or digital product sales.
2
You're positioning your newsletter the wrong way
You’re one of 25 other newsletters writing about competitive topics like AI. Instead of AI in e-commerce or AI in Hollywood production. It feels safe to speak to everyone, but you end up speaking to no one.
3
Your subscriber chart is flat while others scale
You're burning money on ads paying $4+ per subscriber or posting daily on social media hoping something goes viral, but you have no predictable system for subscriber growth at scale, leaving you dependent on algorithm luck instead of controllable growth.
4
You have no clue how to find and close sponsors
You see other newsletters landing brand deals but have no idea how to find advertisers, what to say in outreach, or how to price your inventory.
5
You're paralyzed by product/service decision overwhelm
You know you should sell something to your list, but you're stuck in analysis paralysis wondering if it should be a course, coaching, or service. What if you send too many emails? Or sound to sale-sy? And you never launch or under-launch.
The brutal cost? You spend 12+ months and thousands of dollars building an audience that makes you $500/month instead of the $15K+ it should be generating.
This is how you build a profitable newsletter.
The operators doing $1M+ don't rely on ads alone.
They build a Newsletter Value Ladder.
Step 1: Ads. The base layer. $4–$6 per reader, per year.
Step 2: Low-ticket offers. $27, $47. Quick wins that turn strangers into buyers.
Step 3: High-ticket products. $350… $5,000… even SaaS. Where one $5K client covers the entire month.
This is how you get to $100,000-$500,000 in revenue from a newsletter without 100k+ subscribers.
This is a Stripe dashboard from a newsletter I work with – Bootstrapped Giants.
$0 → $270,000 in 90 days.
I want you to guess their newsletter list size.
100,000?
25,000?
No 15,000 readers.
And now, 8 months later, they have a 30,000-person newsletter that has done over $1,000,000.
Now you understand - the best possible thing you can do for yourself is build a newsletter with a Value Ladder.
What you get inside the Newsletter Accelerator
Newsletter Foundation & Positioning System
THE CONTENT CATEGORY SYSTEM YOU GET IS...
These components give you the system to select profitable niches and position your newsletter for maximum monetization potential.
SELECT A NICHE & CREATE A CATEGORY WITH YOUR NEWSLETTER
Identify and own profitable newsletter categories where audiences pay $30+ CPMs instead of competing in oversaturated markets.
Avoid "trap" niches where newsletters build huge subscriber counts and zero revenue.
Position yourself as the definitive newsletter in your category.
Create IV (INSANELY VALUABLE) CONTENT WITH 40%+ OPEN RATES
Build your newsletter using the ‘lego block’ components mixed-and-matched by Morning Brew, Justin Welsh's Solopreneurship Saturday, and other top newsletters.
Copy/paste landing pages, sign-up flows, and welcome emails that we see consistently hit 40%+ CVRs, 50%+ open rates, and 10%+ CTRs.
I'm starting from the ground up. My agency serves local small businesses to adopt AI systems, and I'm looking to add a local newsletter to build credibility and community. Nathan is delivering a masterclass for newbies like me to get this engine set up the right way. With all the noise from so-called "gurus" in this space, it can be overwhelming. This Acccelerator lays it out in a well-structured system that novices like me can easily implement but also manages to deliver more advanced tactics for the experienced ones.

As a new director of an already established newsletter, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to break past a growth plateau and accelerate our progress with modern strategies. Nathan's accelerator was the perfect solution, providing a playbook of the latest, most effective growth tactics that go far beyond the basics. The real-life examples of how to implement more advanced systems for referrals, partnerships, and acquisition were invaluable. It gave me the specific, actionable framework I needed to inject new life into our growth and start scaling again with confidence.

Director of Growth, Newsletters
Nathan's Newsletter Accelerator is packed with incredibly valuable insights! I've taken away so much on everything from Meta ad campaign strategy and creative direction to landing page optimization, copy that actually converts, and retention tactics that work.
McKenzie Bolden
Senior Growth Marketer
The number one thing I was blocked on in my newsletter business was figuring out how to grow consistently without relying on luck or virality. I had good content, but my growth felt random and some weeks I’d gain a bunch of subs, other times it was flat. I needed a repeatable system.
The Newsletter Operators Accelerator helped me solve that by giving me a clear roadmap, especially around distribution, partnerships, and monetization. The weekly calls and frameworks made it super easy to take action, and having feedback from people actually running successful newsletters saved me a ton of trial and error. Now I have a real growth strategy and a game plan I trust.

Nowhere else have I ever found such a great education about publishing a newsletter! (I've looked.) I've lost time and money trying to do a newsletter in the past, and now I know exactly why: I didn't know basic methods and didn't have a good Email service Provider. The Accelerator course is absolutely essential with critical information, insight and experience from a man (Nathan May) who totally knows the business and provides detailed analysis and information. Linking his expertise with Beehiiv.com's services just might make publishing a newsletter a foolproof enterprise. I am highly confident, now have a workable plan, and know what to avoid. Thanks Nathan and Beehiiv.com.

I wanted to better understand the different business models and how to optimize both content and growth in order to monetize them. My newsletter wasn't monetizing the way I wanted, and through this course, I realized I need to make a directional change because the current content cadence, audience demo, and business model are misaligned. It also helped me think through the directions I could go. I am currently working on figuring out next steps and will be putting to use the growth and modernization tactics I learned once I pick the direction I want to go.

The accelerator transformed our newsletter strategy, shifting it from a simple referral generator to a fully monetizable digital product.

There's too many gems to count and I'm excited to watch the videos back again.

I have always thought about writing a newsletter as a engagement tool, but always thought it was going to be too difficult or time consuming. The accelerator has completely changed my thinking and I am not only looking at the newsletter helping my business, but actually becoming a business. Total shift in focus. Can't thank Nathan enough for opening my eyes to the possibilities. He should be considered a Jedi Master.

Who is behind the Newsletter Accelerator?
Hi, I’m Nathan May.
I built a $1M ARR agency in 11 months last year, with just 1,000 newsletter subscribers. Before that, I sold my first newsletter (15k subscribers) to The Milk Road.
Big lists are overrated.
A list of 1,000 can change your year. A list of 10,000 readers can change your life.
My company, The Feed, partners on growth with newsletters and personal brands like The Neuron (acquired in 2025), Arnold’s Pump Club, and Tyler Denk.
And I’ve seen up close how the best operators grow newsletters and sell ads, digital products, services, communities, events, and more, treating their newsletter like a business from day 1.

We directly address the biggest challenges operators under $1M/year face: subscribers, sales, content, and profit.
Your newsletter is bleeding your time and money.
You're spending months building a subscriber list that everyone celebrates on Twitter, but your Stripe balance tells a different story.
The real reasons why your newsletter isn't generating the revenue it should:
1
You're chasing vanity metrics
You celebrate hitting 5,000 subscribers with $100 in revenue while watching operators with smaller lists pull $10K+ per month because attention means nothing if you cannot convert it into clients, sponsorships, or digital product sales.
2
You're positioning your newsletter the wrong way
You’re one of 25 other newsletters writing about competitive topics like AI. Instead of AI in e-commerce or AI in Hollywood production. It feels safe to speak to everyone, but you end up speaking to no one.

Your subscriber chart is flat while others scale
You're burning money on ads paying $4+ per subscriber or posting daily on social media hoping something goes viral, but you have no predictable system for subscriber growth at scale, leaving you dependent on algorithm luck instead of controllable growth.
4
You have no clue how to find and close sponsors
You see other newsletters landing brand deals but have no idea how to find advertisers, what to say in outreach, or how to price your inventory.
5
You're paralyzed by product/service decision overwhelm
You know you should sell something to your list, but you're stuck in analysis paralysis wondering if it should be a course, coaching, or service. What if you send too many emails? Or sound to sale-sy? And you never launch or under-launch.
The brutal cost? You spend 12+ months and thousands of dollars building an audience that makes you $500/month instead of the $15K+ it should be generating.
This is how you build a profitable newsletter.
The operators doing $1M+ don't rely on ads alone.
They build a Newsletter Value Ladder.
Step 1: Ads. The base layer. $4–$6 per reader, per year.
Step 2: Low-ticket offers. $27, $47. Quick wins that turn strangers into buyers.
Step 3: High-ticket products. $350… $5,000… even SaaS. Where one $5K client covers the entire month.
This is how you get to $100,000-$500,000 in revenue from a newsletter without 100k+ subscribers.
This is a Stripe dashboard from a newsletter I work with – Bootstrapped Giants.
$0 → $270,000 in 90 days.
I want you to guess their newsletter list size.
100,000?
25,000?
No 15,000 readers.
And now, 8 months later, they have a 30,000-person newsletter that has done over $1,000,000.
Now you understand - the best possible thing you can do for yourself is build a newsletter with a Value Ladder.

THE CONTENT CATEGORY SYSTEM YOU GET IS...
These components give you the system to select profitable niches and position your newsletter for maximum monetization potential.

Position yourself as the definitive newsletter in your category.

Build your newsletter using the ‘lego block’ components mixed-and-matched by Morning Brew, Justin Welsh's Solopreneurship Saturday, and other top newsletters.

I'm starting from the ground up. My agency serves local small businesses to adopt AI systems, and I'm looking to add a local newsletter to build credibility and community. Nathan is delivering a masterclass for newbies like me to get this engine set up the right way. With all the noise from so-called "gurus" in this space, it can be overwhelming. This Acccelerator lays it out in a well-structured system that novices like me can easily implement but also manages to deliver more advanced tactics for the experienced ones.

Going into the newsletter accelerator, I had doubts as to whether or not I had selected the right niche and how to know when I had content market fit.

We were looking to improve our sign up welcome flow and the accelerator was really helpful in providing the most common language used on landing pages and sign up forms — we already started implementing and testing these out!

As a new director of an already established newsletter, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to break past a growth plateau and accelerate our progress with modern strategies. Nathan's accelerator was the perfect solution, providing a playbook of the latest, most effective growth tactics that go far beyond the basics. The real-life examples of how to implement more advanced systems for referrals, partnerships, and acquisition were invaluable. It gave me the specific, actionable framework I needed to inject new life into our growth and start scaling again with confidence.

Nathan's Newsletter Accelerator is packed with incredibly valuable insights! I've taken away so much on everything from Meta ad campaign strategy and creative direction to landing page optimization, copy that actually converts, and retention tactics that work.
McKenzie Bolden
Senior Growth Marketer
The number one thing I was blocked on in my newsletter business was figuring out how to grow consistently without relying on luck or virality. I had good content, but my growth felt random and some weeks I’d gain a bunch of subs, other times it was flat. I needed a repeatable system.
The Newsletter Operators Accelerator helped me solve that by giving me a clear roadmap, especially around distribution, partnerships, and monetization. The weekly calls and frameworks made it super easy to take action, and having feedback from people actually running successful newsletters saved me a ton of trial and error. Now I have a real growth strategy and a game plan I trust.

Revenue Generation & Sales Operations System
THE MONETIZATION SYSTEM YOU GET IS...
These components give you the system to convert subscribers into revenue through sponsorships, digital products, and services.
FIND AND CLOSE DEALS WITH TIER-1 ADVERTISERS
Start generating revenue in less than 30 days using ad networks while you use our outbound system to close direct sponsor deals.
Install every asset - outbound emails, media kits, pricing benchmarks, and more - that’s working for the top 30 newsletters.
Close deals via warm introductions with the ‘mutual intro’ playbook we’ve used to close $500k+ of business.
CONVERT READERS INTO REVENUE WITH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Convert readers into booked calls and sales for coaching, agency, and professional services.
Steal the email sequences and sales pages we’ve used to do 7-figures in newsletter-based sales for clients.
Nowhere else have I ever found such a great education about publishing a newsletter! (I've looked.) I've lost time and money trying to do a newsletter in the past, and now I know exactly why: I didn't know basic methods and didn't have a good Email service Provider. The Accelerator course is absolutely essential with critical information, insight and experience from a man (Nathan May) who totally knows the business and provides detailed analysis and information. Linking his expertise with Beehiiv.com's services just might make publishing a newsletter a foolproof enterprise. I am highly confident, now have a workable plan, and know what to avoid. Thanks Nathan and Beehiiv.com.

The accelerator transformed our newsletter strategy, shifting it from a simple referral generator to a fully monetizable digital product. We gained practical insights into every stage, from developing strong concepts and building an engaged audience to driving sales. A fantastic, high-impact program.
Kyle Joe
Vice President, Content
I wanted to better understand the different business models and how to optimize both content and growth in order to monetize them. My newsletter wasn't monetizing the way I wanted, and through this course, I realized I need to make a directional change because the current content cadence, audience demo, and business model are misaligned. It also helped me think through the directions I could go. I am currently working on figuring out next steps and will be putting to use the growth and modernization tactics I learned once I pick the direction I want to go.

I came into the accelerator with a newsletter concept but I feel like I'm leaving with a business concept. It was really helpful to hear Nathan walk through the economics of newsletter businesses and share ways to test viability. There's too many gems to count and I'm excited to watch the videos back again.

I have always thought about writing a newsletter as a engagement tool, but always thought it was going to be too difficult or time consuming. The accelerator has completely changed my thinking and I am not only looking at the newsletter helping my business, but actually becoming a business. Total shift in focus. Can't thank Nathan enough for opening my eyes to the possibilities. He should be considered a Jedi Master.

Who is behind the Newsletter Accelerator?
Hi, I’m Nathan May.
I built a $1M ARR agency in 11 months last year, with just 1,000 newsletter subscribers. Before that, I sold my first newsletter (15k subscribers) to The Milk Road.
Big lists are overrated.
A list of 1,000 can change your year. A list of 10,000 readers can change your life.
My company, The Feed, partners on growth with newsletters and personal brands like The Neuron (acquired in 2025), Arnold’s Pump Club, and Tyler Denk.
And I’ve seen up close how the best operators grow newsletters and sell ads, digital products, services, communities, events, and more, treating their newsletter like a business from day 1.

We’ve worked with 200+ newsletter operators, creators, and founders to create this live, 5-week program.
We directly address the biggest challenges operators under $1M/year face: subscribers, sales, content, and profit.
Your newsletter is bleeding your time and money.
You're spending months building a subscriber list that everyone celebrates on Twitter, but your Stripe balance tells a different story.
The real reasons why your newsletter isn't generating the revenue it should:
1
You're chasing vanity metrics
You celebrate hitting 5,000 subscribers with $100 in revenue while watching operators with smaller lists pull $10K+ per month because attention means nothing if you cannot convert it into clients, sponsorships, or digital product sales.
2
You're positioning your newsletter the wrong way
You’re one of 25 other newsletters writing about competitive topics like AI. Instead of AI in e-commerce or AI in Hollywood production. It feels safe to speak to everyone, but you end up speaking to no one.
3
Your subscriber chart is flat while others scale
You're burning money on ads paying $4+ per subscriber or posting daily on social media hoping something goes viral, but you have no predictable system for subscriber growth at scale, leaving you dependent on algorithm luck instead of controllable growth.
4
You have no clue how to find and close sponsors
You see other newsletters landing brand deals but have no idea how to find advertisers, what to say in outreach, or how to price your inventory.
5
You're paralyzed by product/service decision overwhelm
You know you should sell something to your list, but you're stuck in analysis paralysis wondering if it should be a course, coaching, or service. What if you send too many emails? Or sound to sale-sy? And you never launch or under-launch.
The brutal cost? You spend 12+ months and thousands of dollars building an audience that makes you $500/month instead of the $15K+ it should be generating.
This is how you build a profitable newsletter.
The operators doing $1M+ don't rely on ads alone.
They build a Newsletter Value Ladder.
Step 1: Ads. The base layer. $4–$6 per reader, per year.
Step 2: Low-ticket offers. $27, $47. Quick wins that turn strangers into buyers.
Step 3: High-ticket products. $350… $5,000… even SaaS. Where one $5K client covers the entire month.
This is how you get to $100,000-$500,000 in revenue from a newsletter without 100k+ subscribers.
This is a Stripe dashboard from a newsletter I work with – Bootstrapped Giants.
$0 → $270,000 in 90 days.
I want you to guess their newsletter list size.
100,000?
25,000?
No 15,000 readers.
And now, 8 months later, they have a 30,000-person newsletter that has done over $1,000,000.
Now you understand - the best possible thing you can do for yourself is build a newsletter with a Value Ladder.

I'm starting from the ground up. My agency serves local small businesses to adopt AI systems, and I'm looking to add a local newsletter to build credibility and community. Nathan is delivering a masterclass for newbies like me to get this engine set up the right way. With all the noise from so-called "gurus" in this space, it can be overwhelming. This Acccelerator lays it out in a well-structured system that novices like me can easily implement but also manages to deliver more advanced tactics for the experienced ones.

Going into the newsletter accelerator, I had doubts as to whether or not I had selected the right niche and how to know when I had content market fit. The Newsletter Accelerator gave me the tools to confidently answer these questions. What I have learned through the newsletter accelerator has been invaluable for the future of my newsletter.

We were looking to improve our sign up welcome flow and the accelerator was really helpful in providing the most common language used on landing pages and sign up forms — we already started implementing and testing these out!

As a new director of an already established newsletter, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to break past a growth plateau and accelerate our progress with modern strategies. Nathan's accelerator was the perfect solution, providing a playbook of the latest, most effective growth tactics that go far beyond the basics. The real-life examples of how to implement more advanced systems for referrals, partnerships, and acquisition were invaluable. It gave me the specific, actionable framework I needed to inject new life into our growth and start scaling again with confidence.
Bridget Stribling
Director of Growth, Newsletters
Nathan's Newsletter Accelerator is packed with incredibly valuable insights! I've taken away so much on everything from Meta ad campaign strategy and creative direction to landing page optimization, copy that actually converts, and retention tactics that work.
McKenzie Bolden
Senior Growth Marketer
The number one thing I was blocked on in my newsletter business was figuring out how to grow consistently without relying on luck or virality. I had good content, but my growth felt random and some weeks I’d gain a bunch of subs, other times it was flat. I needed a repeatable system.
The Newsletter Operators Accelerator helped me solve that by giving me a clear roadmap, especially around distribution, partnerships, and monetization. The weekly calls and frameworks made it super easy to take action, and having feedback from people actually running successful newsletters saved me a ton of trial and error. Now I have a real growth strategy and a game plan I trust.

Revenue Generation & Sales Operations System
THE MONETIZATION SYSTEM YOU GET IS...
These components give you the system to convert subscribers into revenue through sponsorships, digital products, and services.
FIND AND CLOSE DEALS WITH TIER-1 ADVERTISERS
Start generating revenue in less than 30 days using ad networks while you use our outbound system to close direct sponsor deals.
Install every asset - outbound emails, media kits, pricing benchmarks, and more - that’s working for the top 30 newsletters.
Close deals via warm introductions with the ‘mutual intro’ playbook we’ve used to close $500k+ of business.
CONVERT READERS INTO REVENUE WITH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Convert readers into booked calls and sales for coaching, agency, and professional services.

Nowhere else have I ever found such a great education about publishing a newsletter! (I've looked.) I've lost time and money trying to do a newsletter in the past, and now I know exactly why: I didn't know basic methods and didn't have a good Email service Provider. The Accelerator course is absolutely essential with critical information, insight and experience from a man (Nathan May) who totally knows the business and provides detailed analysis and information. Linking his expertise with Beehiiv.com's services just might make publishing a newsletter a foolproof enterprise. I am highly confident, now have a workable plan, and know what to avoid. Thanks Nathan and Beehiiv.com.

I wanted to better understand the different business models and how to optimize both content and growth in order to monetize them. My newsletter wasn't monetizing the way I wanted, and through this course, I realized I need to make a directional change because the current content cadence, audience demo, and business model are misaligned. It also helped me think through the directions I could go. I am currently working on figuring out next steps and will be putting to use the growth and modernization tactics I learned once I pick the direction I want to go.

The accelerator transformed our newsletter strategy, shifting it from a simple referral generator to a fully monetizable digital product. We gained practical insights into every stage, from developing strong concepts and building an engaged audience to driving sales. A fantastic, high-impact program.

I came into the accelerator with a newsletter concept but I feel like I'm leaving with a business concept. It was really helpful to hear Nathan walk through the economics of newsletter businesses and share ways to test viability. There's too many gems to count and I'm excited to watch the videos back again.

I have always thought about writing a newsletter as a engagement tool, but always thought it was going to be too difficult or time consuming. The accelerator has completely changed my thinking and I am not only looking at the newsletter helping my business, but actually becoming a business. Total shift in focus. Can't thank Nathan enough for opening my eyes to the possibilities. He should be considered a Jedi Master.

Who is behind the Newsletter Accelerator?
Hi, I’m Nathan May.
I built a $1M ARR agency in 11 months last year, with just 1,000 newsletter subscribers. Before that, I sold my first newsletter (15k subscribers) to The Milk Road.
Big lists are overrated.
A list of 1,000 can change your year. A list of 10,000 readers can change your life.
My company, The Feed, partners on growth with newsletters and personal brands like The Neuron (acquired in 2025), Arnold’s Pump Club, and Tyler Denk.
And I’ve seen up close how the best operators grow newsletters and sell ads, digital products, services, communities, events, and more, treating their newsletter like a business from day 1.
