💰 Sell it as a service
The offer
Sell a newsletter launch package — positioning, beehiiv setup, lead magnet, referral program — then run it monthly: writing, growth experiments, and sponsor outreach via the ad network.
What to charge
$2,000 launch fee, then $1,500–$3,000/mo for 4 issues plus growth management. For clients monetizing, take a percentage of sponsorship revenue you source on top.
How it gets delivered
Launch is a 2-week build off your own template stack. Monthly fulfillment is AI-assisted drafting, a weekly edit pass, and a monthly growth report pulled straight from beehiiv analytics.
This is one offer. AI Operator Academy is where operators build the full stack — packaging, pricing, fulfillment, and a peer group selling the same services. $999/yr.
