How to Start a Local Newsletter Business: $200K from 18K Subscribers

Local newsletters are low overhead, scalable, and sellable.
(With examples like The Hustle and Morning Brew both selling for impressive 8-figure exits.)
But Ryan Sneddon from Naptown Scoop took a unique approach to the newsletter business, focusing on his local hometown of Annapolis, Maryland.
Naptown Scoop has a subscriber base of almost half of Annapolis’ population - and paved the way for Ryan to bring in over $200k a year from his 18k subscribers.

So... what platform is best to get us started if we want to just launch into this with platforms and tools to get moving?

We spoke awhile back and I'm actually about to start working with Ryan 1-on-1 on this, so can let you know how it goes man. Could be a cool 6 month update podcast to see how replicable it is with the right coaching!
