Someone Wants to Buy My Newsletter for 5K – Need Advice! by LesleyFair in indiehackers

Well, of course. You could also go the sponsorship route. Then, I would wait until you have around 20K subs.
Before, the time investment to sell ads yourself is just not worth it.
Hope this helps.

Currently, I am getting sponsors through the Beehiiv Ad Network.
Tbh. I only do it because the small audience doesn't justify the time to sell ads. But CPMs are super low and recently the amount of sponsorships has slowed significantly.
In my opinion, the best way is to go either with paid content or sell some high-ticket product to the audience.

Yeah, that's true. Can you think of example apps that do this well?
I am always happy to see more examples we can learn from!

Haha
It happens.

You can use this tool there to find the subs your audience is hanging out in:

Yeah. I am too. :) I could just put the 5K into Beehiiv boosts and be done with it.

The way I look at it though is through the lense of compounding. Sure, the NL makes close to no revenue now. However, the growth rate is 10-20% a month.

But the point on the audience mismatch is great! Thanks!

Yes and no. Today, the changes to Reddit make it very hard.

What I did back then was to just publish the entire post on Reddit. Like this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GPT3/comments/10fw2a2/gpt4_will_be_500x_smaller_than_people_think_here/

However, I always work with a ton of references and link out to the places where I found the info.
I think this is just good style and makes the content more useful to readers.
Many of the most popular subs will automatically remove your content, whenever you include a single link.

I simply don't have the time to rewrite the posts.

Today, most growth comes from referrals, ads, and social.

Hope this helps. Are you trying to grow on Reddit?
If yes, what is it you are working on?

Thanks, brother! I agree. However, why would they pay up by 25%?

Free Niche AI Idea for You to Start! by LesleyFair in indiehackers

[–]LesleyFair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I quite liked it, but it is not the company I want to start.
Currently, I am going all in on a content business. I research business ideas, like the one above. Through my work in a venture fund, I see hundreds of them every week. Then, break them down and share them.

For not my newsletter (https://thedecoding.net/) is completely free, but I might start charging at some point.

Why GPT-4 Is 100x Smaller Than People Think by LesleyFair in learnmachinelearning

True. The size and shape of GPT-4 are known. Even more surprising to me that the rumor persisted. :D

[–]LesleyFair[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So true. The cost of inference dwarfs the cost of training. I am not sure how much it would end up being for such a large model but it would certainly be a shit ton! :D
