8 Online Newsletter Writing Business Success Stories [2023]

My name is Joseph Solomon, and I’m the Founder & CEO of We Do It Remotely.

The newsletter launched last month but is growing quickly. We recently launched a paid section where we do deep dives into proposals, share exclusive freelancing reports, and more actionable strategies to help freelancers win.

I'm Vaibhav Kishnani, an engineer but a passionate writer by profession. I established Content-Whale in 2017 when I was in my third year of engineering. Going by the maxim that quality writing is everything, Content-Whale caters to 42 different content types that form the backstory of every company’s digital presence and marketing efforts.

I started this content agency with a mere sum of Rs. 2,500. Today, we have drawn a revenue turnover of Rs. 4 Crores! In my opinion, it is not individual progress. Instead, a start-up is about connecting with the right individuals at the right time, who keep the show running ahead with their strife for perfection.

Daniella Pierson is the Founder and CEO of The Newsette, a women-focused newsletter she founded at the age of 19 while still in university. Forbes just tagged her as United States’ one of the richest women of color.

In the initial days, Daniella used to distribute flyers on campus and portrayed herself as a corporate intern due to her lack of confidence in her work as a creative.

To start Newsette, she borrowed $15,000 from her parents to pay for various services, such as a mailing platform and an illustrator to add color to the newsletter.

The founder managed to secure the newsletter's first 15,000 subscribers by stalking her contacts' Facebook friends and acquaintances and offered them roles as newsletter ambassadors, which granted them a couple of additional lines on their resumes if they could attract 10 new subscribers.

Daniella suffers from ADHD, OCD, and depression and to raise awareness about mental health issues she co-founded the mental health startup, Wondermind, along with Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey, Selena's mother. It was recently appraised at $100 million dollars.

Here is a look at how she is doing today:

• The newsletter has over 500,000 subscribers presently
• Revenue increased from one million dollars in 2019 to 40 million dollars in 2021
• Based on its growth of almost 16,000% over the previous three years, The Newsette is the 16th most successful company in America
