▶ WATCH THE SOURCE SEGMENT — 10 (Profitable) Newsletter Business Ideas To Start In 2025

01 THE IDEA

Write With AI has proven that professionals will pay $20/month or $200/year for a weekly newsletter that helps them use AI tools better — reaching $200,000 ARR. The idea is to replicate this model in underserved verticals: AI for marketers, AI for lawyers, AI for finance professionals, AI for real estate agents, etc. The content is practical and immediately applicable: specific prompts, tool comparisons, workflow shortcuts, and time-saving tactics.

The challenge Greg identifies is that the creators of Write With AI had hundreds of thousands of social media followers to drive paid conversions cheaply. Without that, customer acquisition costs for paid subscriptions via Facebook ads could be $20+ per subscriber, which fundamentally changes the economics. This is more viable as a side project for someone with an existing professional audience than as a cold-start newsletter business.

03 THE VERDICT

The model is proven by Write With AI but requires an existing social audience to work at scale — cold-start economics on paid subscriptions via ads are brutal. Best suited for someone who already has an audience in a specific profession and wants to monetize it. The vertical AI newsletter space is also filling up fast, compressing the window of opportunity.
