Engineer exploring the world of media. Sharing the latest biz news (en español) to 150,000+ people → @spressomatutino. @fernandocaralt for updates in spanish.
@ShaanVP told me "try it for 100 days and see what happens".
Well, it was on a MFM episode, but I took it personally.
Today marks 6months since I started my daily Spanish tech news newsletter. @SpressoMatutino
132 emails later. Lots more to go.
Here's to the next 6 months!
NEWLSETTER OPERATORS: Yesterday, beehiiv and I announced The Newsletter Accelerator to a room of 350 people.
EVERY major media company (The Hustle, Axios, NYTimes) is joining. And we want you inside:
If you don’t know me, Hi. My name is Nathan May, I run the #1 newsletter growth agency.
We quietly went from $0 -> $1M in 10.5 months last year using an invite-only newsletter to build an agency.
And added millions of subscribers across The Points Guy, the top AI newsletters, and personal brands like Schwarzenegger.
(Many of our clients now profitably spend $100k+ per month on ads).
I also sold a newsletter to The Milk Road and narrowly lost a 7-figure deal to acquire The Neuron in February (story for another time).
I've seen a lot. The Newsletter Accelerator is everything I've learned, condensed into 5 weeks.
Plus hands-on sessions with 8 and 9-figure newsletter brands.
And call @denk_tweets and I insane, but we're making it FREE.
You'll learn how to:
✅Go from no newsletter to choosing a category you can dominate
✅Create IV (insanely valuable - shoutout Chenell Basilio for coining this) content that converts subscribers into superfans
✅Scale with paid ads + acquire readers organically
✅Close sponsorship deals
✅Launch products/services (IMO, easiest path to $100k/yr)
What you'll get:
✅ 5 weeks of hands-on training
✅ Live sessions with 7-9 figure operators, including 1440 ($20M+/yr), Workweek ($15M+), and Industry Dive ($100M+)
✅ Step-by-step systems: niche selection → content strategy → growth → monetization
✅ Behind-the-scenes walkthroughs of how we scale newsletters to $100k-400k+/month in ad spend
✅ My team's private library of ad templates, sponsor decks, and sales emails
You'll join beginners, 6-figure operators, and the largest newsletter/media companies, including:
The New York Times (10M+ subs)
Superhuman AI (1M+ subs)
Industry Dive (3M+ subs)
The Pour Over (1M+ subs)
The Hustle (2M+ subs)
6AM City (1.4M subs)
The Gist (1M+ subs)
Forbes (1M+ subs)
1440 (4.5M+ subs)
Axios (7M+ subs)
+ others
The are 86 spots left (application-based, NOT first-come-first-serve)
We made this free to be accessible, you DO NOT need a big newsletter to be accepted.
If you're serious about building a newsletter business, this is for you.
Applications close June 30th at 5pm EST.

@LightBSV Interesting take on the road to success for platforms.
Sharing in case is relevant to BSV. I've been following BSV progress but not up to date on the details if you guys are already building apps.
Want to get mentored by the person who’s living your ideal life… and get paid for it?
I did that twice (story below), and I've helped friends land their dream jobs with creators like @MrBeast & @ChrisWillx.
Now I’m doing something I’ve never done…
I’m coaching a few motivated hustlers to land their dream job with their favorite entrepreneurs or creator (in the next 90 days).
If you don’t know me:
I started as an unpaid intern for @tombilyeu (with 0 skills) and ended up as his head of social media -growing his accounts from 250k to 1.5M followers.
I then went to work for @noahkagan as his creative director and took his YouTube channel from 50k to 1M subscribers.
Those 2 opportunities gave me the skills and network to start my own businesses and help other entrepreneurs with their content. I’ve worked with: Jordan Peterson, Tim Ferriss, Shaan Purri, Sam Parr, Bryan Johnson, Shopify, Codie Sanchez… (to name just a couple).
I believe these "behind the scenes" positions are the best roles for entrepreneurial & creative minded people who aren't quite ready to start their own business or take the leap as a creator.
You get to learn directly from the person who's living your ideal life, develop a close relationship with them, you get access to their network + their lifestyle... and you get paid for it!
If reading this gets you fired up and you’re determined to get mentored by your favorite entrepreneur or creator, DM me a 60-second video introducing yourself and why I should pick you.
Or maybe you know someone who would be great? (Tag them here)

ANNOUNCEMENT: Today, we’re launching the GrowLetter Ad Network:
A commission-only ad sales service for newsletter publishers AND done-for-you ad buying services for marketers.
Over 90% of newsletters lose money because they have unsold ad inventory.
Why? Selling ads is hard.
Publishers need to:
- Reach out to hundreds of prospects monthly.
- Grow your list, create content, and do all the other stuff in your business.
- Make ad creative, manage campaigns, send IOs, share reports, collect payments, and work to upsell advertisers on bigger packages.
Even if you do all that well, 90%+ of publishers still have unsold ads!
And the marketer's job buying newsletter ads isn’t easy either.
Newsletter ad buying is broken for marketers.
They need to:
- Find and vet the best newsletters to buy in.
- Negotiate, make creative, optimize landing pages, send payment, and track down ad reports across multiple publishers.
- Do this across dozens of newsletters to scale. This can amount to the work of a full time job.
Most marketers are just too busy to grow with newsletters effectively!
The sad part is...
The best marketers know newsletters are a massively underrated growth channel — if used correctly.
What makes this even worse is the bad actors out there:
- Newsletter publishers that lie about their numbers and grow their email lists with low-quality (or fake) subscribers using shady growth hacks.
And,
- Marketers who stiff publishers on payment and try to advertise sketchy offers.
Of course, there are hundreds of high-quality newsletters and ethical marketers.
But buying and selling ads in this environment is hard.
We’re changing this.
We created the GrowLetter Ad Network to connect vetted publishers and advertisers so both parties can win.
Here’s how the GrowLetter Ad Network works (for publishers):
- There’s no cost unless we bring you an advertiser you’re not currently working with
- We handle billing, ad creative (with your input), tracking links, and reporting
- We help advertisers optimize their landing pages and offer
- No exclusivity — work with any seller or ad network
- We only sell flat fee sponsorships — no CPC
- We use your ad pricing and never mark up
- Almost no time required from publishers
For marketers, GrowLetter makes it easy to:
- Buy targeted ads across dozens of high-quality and vetted email newsletters.
- Scale your newsletter ads without the hassle of managing campaigns, negotiations, ad creative, reporting, and payments across multiple publishers.
We vet every newsletter by analyzing their email data to determine audience quality, ICP match, engagement, and ad results so you can confidently buy ads that drive ROAS.
At GrowLetter, we know how to find the best publishers in the world.
I’ve worked with the largest and fastest-growing newsletter-first media companies and creators over the past 5 years.
(Clients include: The Hustle, 1440, James Clear, Codie Sanchez, Sahil Bloom, Milk Road, Chartr, The Daily Upside, The Rundown, WorkWeek, and many more.)
We have more newsletter data than almost anyone.
This allows us to help Marketers:
- Manage your ENTIRE newsletter advertising campaigns from A to Z – while increasing your ROAS and saving you time.
- Buy across many niches, small newsletters with 10k-50k subscribers that most Marketers don’t have time to handle.
- Buy exclusive inventory in hard-to-reach newsletters with big, engaged audiences.
Sound interesting?
Here’s how to get started:
- Newsletter operators, apply for us to sell your ads using the link below.
- Newsletter advertisers, use that same link to get in touch and talk with me about improving your ROAS and saving time.
If you have questions about this, reply below!
P.S. We’re specializing in B2B, business, and financial publishers and advertisers right now. If that’s you, get in touch. If not, we can still help! We’ll just have fewer ads for you now.
