## Resource

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how newsletter writers are using paid subscriber events to build community and generate additional revenue beyond subscriptions. Lucas breaks down three specific models: the livestream Q&A, the virtual workshop series, and the in-person meetup, using concrete examples like a Substack tech writer who charges $50 per ticket for monthly AMA sessions and a Beehiiv creator who runs quarterly masterclasses at $200 a pop. Luna pushes back on whether this scales for smaller writers, and Lucas shares data from a 2025 survey of 200 newsletter operators showing that paid events yield an average of 15% lift in annual revenue per subscriber. They also discuss the hidden benefit: event attendees churn at half the rate of non-attendees. Tune in for a tactical, numbers-driven look at one of the fastest-growing revenue levers in the newsletter business. #NewsletterRevenue #Substack #Beehiiv #CreatorEconomy #PaidEvents #VirtualWorkshops #SubscriptionBusiness #AudienceEngagement #MarketingStrategy #CommunityBuilding #SideHustle #EmailMarketing #RevenueDiversification #CreatorStrategy #BusinessPodcast #MarketingPodcast #FexingoBusiness #NewsletterPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
