Launching Your Publishing Business, Part 3
Essential Tools for Growth
In partnership with
Hey Founders,
Now that you have a clear topic and a strategy for driving traffic, let’s talk about tools. Every publishing business needs the right stack to grow, scale, and save time. With so many options out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but I’ll walk you through the essentials to help keep things simple and effective.
To give you an idea, here’s my must-have list for anyone serious about building a publishing business:
This is where you’ll create, send, and analyze your newsletters. Beehiiv is powerful for managing your subscribers and tracking performance, plus it offers growth features like referral programs to help boost organic reach (20% Off on the house 🙂 ).
2. Meta Ads Manager for Paid Growth
Once you have a few issues under your belt, paid advertising can help accelerate growth. Meta Ads Manager lets you target precisely who you want to reach and provides robust analytics to fine-tune your ads for maximum ROI.
3. Google Analytics for Audience Insights
Understanding your audience’s behavior is key. Google Analytics tracks where your traffic is coming from, what content engages them most, and helps you optimize accordingly. By regularly checking metrics like time on page and bounce rate, you can adapt your content to suit your readers’ needs.
These tools cover the essentials for managing your newsletter, understanding your audience, and growing your reach. But if you’re ready to go beyond the basics, here’s where my advanced insights come in.
