Put a Revenue Figure on One Newsletter Subscriber

A list size is a vanity number until the open, click, conversion, and order figures are multiplied through it.

What this guide helps you do

Turn subscribers, open and click rates, conversion, order value, and sends into revenue per subscriber.

Who this guide is for

Small publishers and shop owners deciding whether a newsletter is worth the writing time.

Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.

Steps

  1. Use your list size

    Use the number of subscribers who receive the send, not the follower count.

  2. Use measured rates

    Take the open, click, and conversion rates from your own reports.

  3. Use the average order

    Average the last five orders, not the flagship product.

  4. Count the sends

    Count the sends in a normal month.

  5. Read the subscriber value

    The App shows revenue a send, a month, and a subscriber.

Worked example

Five thousand subscribers at a 35 percent open, 8 percent click, and 3 percent conversion produce 4.2 orders a send. Two sends a month is $0.08 a subscriber.

  1. Clicks a send = 5,000 × 35 percent × 8 percent = 140
  2. Orders a send = 140 × 3 percent = 4.2, worth 4.2 × $45 = $189
  3. Monthly = 2 sends × $189 = $378, or $0.08 a subscriber

Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.

Compare two worked cases

Two newsletter lists. Both are examples.

Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
