Hacker News is like Reddit but more tech-focused, millions of daily visitors 📈
Hacker Newsletter is…
a weekly newsletter of the best articles on startups, technology, programming, and more. All links are curated by hand from Hacker News.
It’s a side project run by one guy and unaffiliated with HN.
🚀 Kale Davis started the newsletter way back in 2010 and wrote in 2017…
Hacker Newsletter makes a few thousand a month from sponsors. It could easily make more if I were more of a salesperson, but I’m happy with it as is.
Asked what he charges sponsors…
$850 to $1000 an issue.
Back then he had almost 50k subscribers. Now he has 60k+ 😎
The newsletter still sometimes has a main sponsor. They also do classified ads for $150 a pop.
I counted 4 in a recent edition + a main sponsor = estimated $1600 revenue 💰
Thinking this could be done for popular subreddits.
Also, someone commented…
I’d really like something like this in podcast form.
Reminds me of 👉 $20,000/Month Reading Reddit Posts Aloud
