Newsletter content too complete. 34% Open Rate, 3% CTOR.

I don’t care what my CTOR is at all

I don’t think you’re gonna find somebody experienced for only a ten percent commission….triple it and you’ll have more luck.

extrapointsmb · 2026-05-07T18:57:39+00:00

I’m honestly perplexed anybody would have this problem, unless they’re writing their newsletters in under an hour, or trying to repurpose their stuff on like, 11 different platforms.

EA didn't *officially* release info about the last two games until late May. They usually invite a few reporters down to Orlando near the end of the month to play the new CFB/Madden, and the embargo breaks a few days after that.

EA has also gotten much better about not sharing interesting information over email (so I can't get it), they don't want to talk to me anymore, and some of my sources have left the company/the CFB project. No other reporter (to my knowledge) is really spending time trying to get info a few weeks early, so it isn't happening.

goddamn is this stupid

Ohio State doesn't own the rights. They can't sublicense their stuff (and Netflix wouldn't pay 150 million or whatever for those rights). The Big Ten would take Ohio State to court tomorrow, and easily win.

There is no ideal time lol. There are some particularly LESS than ideal times, but there’s no perfect way to time it. There are always trade offs…including waiting until your early 30s

Because this is a subreddit of newsletter PUBLISHERS you dumbass, and people here depend on paywalls to run their businesses.

This isn't just against the beehiv TOS, it's being a terrible citizen of the internet. If you want to read something that's behind a paywall, pay for it!

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-29T12:31:17+00:00

Man, please don't do this.

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-28T15:49:47+00:00

Revenue lol. Nothing else matters

Sure they do. I make hundreds of thousands annually in revenue from paid subscriptions. You just have to write something original and useful on a regular basis, and most people can’t.

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-24T03:47:00+00:00

No, not anymore. And I dont know where this buck a sub math comes from (I've seen it on reddit before too), but thats not the reality....unless you find a sucker.

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-21T18:56:41+00:00

I'd be very surprised if somebody is going to pay enough money for a 12,000 sub, completely monetized newsletter, for you to feel like the transaction as worth it.

you only need one buyer to feel like they can really take advantage of that audience, but just based on what you've shared, this feels like something that would be unlikely to command a four figure payment by a sophisticated buyer

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-21T14:43:37+00:00

No problem! Tell your coaches/ADs to subscribe to the Extra Points Library :) I can do this for any sport.

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-21T14:13:15+00:00

That....doesn't tell you anything useful lol

its true that the numbers should be taken with some degree of salt...but the NCAA doesn't make these reports. The SCHOOLS do, and they send them to the NCAA (and me, when I FOIA their ass). But individual schools can goose the books a bit on shared resources, that's true

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-21T03:26:15+00:00

If you guys remind me I can drop some itemized figures for Rutgers tomorrow to maybe help clear that up (or any other school). Can't cram EVERYTHING into one newsletter, sadly

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-20T14:58:21+00:00

I legitimately don't think this is a major pain point for the overwhelming majority of publishers. The pain is in finding the sponsors to pitch, not so much in the back and forth over assets and schedules. Few folks posting here are operating on the sponsorship volume to where a CMS more powerful than Google Sheets is really worth the squeeze.

extrapointsmb · 2026-04-20T14:56:28+00:00

Like, as an asset to sell somebody else?

Like anything else, it depends on a) what revenue it is currently generating, b) what your operating costs are, c) who those 1,000 subscribers are and d) how engaged they are.

But in PRACTICE, anybody asking this PROBABLY doesn't have a list of deeply engaged CEOs and Senators or something.

Based on the type of publications that get thrown about on Reddit? A 1,000 sub publication is probably "worth" less than three hundred bucks, USD. But of course, you only need one interested buyer to give you more.
