The idea in one paragraph

Podcasters want a newsletter but hate writing one. You transcribe their episode with Otter, use AI to draft a sharp newsletter, add a human voice pass, and publish via Beehiiv. Charge $500-$2,000/month per client.

Step-by-step playbook

  1. 1

    Pick 3 podcast niches

    Business, fitness, and tech podcasts have the budget. Avoid hobby shows.

  2. 2

    Build a sample

    Pick a popular podcast, do one episode-to-newsletter unsolicited. Use it as proof in pitches.

  3. 3

    Cold pitch 20 hosts a week

    Email or DM with the sample. Lead with the outcome (newsletter list growth).

  4. 4

    Productize

    Fixed scope: 4 newsletters/month for $1,000. No custom work.

Frequently asked questions

What if the host already has a newsletter?

Even better — pitch a takeover. Most are behind on episodes anyway.
