Summary

Every week, Lucas and Luna scrutinize the business of email newsletters — the platforms, the economics, the craft. From Substack's creator equity model to Beehiiv's ad-network play, they map the shifting landscape where independent writers and media companies collide. They examine real newsletters — Morning Brew, The Hustle, Lenny's Letter — to understand what drives growth, retention, and monetization. Lucas, a former journalist, pushes for the editorial side: How do you build a voice that compels opens? Luna, grounded in audience data, counters with open rates, churn curves, and unit economics. Together, they debate the tension between sponsored content and reader-funded models, the role of SEO and social distribution, and the fragility of a business built on a single inbox. This is not a how-to guide; it's a forensic look at a medium reshaping media. If you run a newsletter, think about starting one, or simply subscribe to a dozen, their conversations will change how you see that daily email. What happens when a writer's list becomes their primary asset — and what happens when it doesn't? #EmailNewsletter #Substack #Beehiiv #NewsletterBusiness #CreatorEconomy #MorningBrew #Medi…
