Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.
Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.
🌱 A quick reflection
Grow Newsie started with one simple goal:
Help newsletter creators grow and monetize without fluff.
Over time, this community has grown into:
Curious builders
Serious creators
People who want clarity, not noise
And that’s exactly what’s shaping the next version of Grow Newsie.
🚀 What’s changing this year
The new year brings a clearer, sharper Grow Newsie.
Here’s what you can expect:
More tactical editions you can apply immediately
Deeper breakdowns of growth and monetization strategies
Real examples instead of generic advice
Less noise, more signal
Every edition will answer one core question:
“What should I do next to grow or monetize my newsletter?”
🧠 What’s staying the same
Some things won’t change:
No recycled advice
No fake success stories
No complicated frameworks just to sound smart
Just practical insights, written for creators who actually publish.
📅 Going forward
Grow Newsie will continue to land in your inbox with:
Clear ideas
Actionable lessons
Honest takes on what works (and what doesn’t)
If you ever feel an edition helped you—even a little—just reply and tell me.
Those replies shape what I write next.
🎯 One small ask
If Grow Newsie has been useful so far:
Forward it to one creator friend
Or reply with what you want to learn this year
That’s how this newsletter grows—person to person.
Here’s to a year of better writing, better growth, and better monetization.
Happy New Year once again 🥂
