I see your need for recurring revenue. But this newsletter is not valuable enough in itself to ask for $$$. It's basically a (really pleasant) update on what you did the past month, which functions as a way to get people's attention towards what you built. Charging for it would probably end up costing you money, as fewer people will see your work.

If you want to charge, I'd recommend adding a subscriber-only section to each newsletter edition. Behind-the-scenes stuff from the business. In-depth look into the revenue, where the leads to your products come from (Twitter, product hunt, google), your in-depth strategy ideas for next steps in marketing and product dev, and also your in-depth, controversial perception on current trends (AI, Twitter, etc. etc.).

This added content could also be parallel to offering it as Tweets to your Twitter Paid Subs.

Something like this. What do you think?

Normally I would be congratulating you for getting Black Magic acquired, but not so sure from reading your post if I should.. how are you feeling about the sale Tony? Happy? Relieved? Neutral?
