I already have one newsletter and I love writing it every week.

But it seems to me that having a podcast would get you more exposure (maybe because of Spotify/Apple) in the long run.

Newsletters are hard to promote, amirite?

    I would actually disagree that podcasts are more successful than newsletters.

    Sure, there are some big winners in the podcast world, but I think it’s a lot easier to get a newsletter off the ground than a podcast because:

    - Most people aren’t going to be interesting enough to make people want to listen to it.

    - It’s easier to sell ads in newsletters.

    - It’s easier to promote (Meta/Twitter ads -> Sparkloop Upscribe -> repeat).

    The result is a lot more successful mid-sized newsletters than podcasts.
