He Writes About Computers in Return For Money

That’s what it says on the LinkedIn bio of Anthony Agius.

Anthony started The Sizzle back in 2015.

That’s a daily tech email newsletter, with a focus on Anthony’s home country of Australia 🇦🇺

There’s a 30-day free trial and then it’s $6 a month or $60 a year to stay subscribed.

As of July 2022, 1193 people pay to read The Sizzle.

That works out to at least $71,580 per year for Anthony 🤑

And that might only be half his income…

I spend half of my weekdays occupied with Sizzle related stuff and the other half as a freelance tech writer, mostly advertorial/sponsored content for various outlets but sometimes product reviews.

The Sizzle is a good example of Kevin Kelly’s 1000 true fans concept.

And Anthony’s success can surely be replicated in other countries.

Australia has a population of ~26 million, and only 0.005% of them pay to read The Sizzle.

(I’m sure Anthony has non-Aussie readers too, but you get my point.)

Simple format, and it looks like Anthony sprinkles in some affiliate links as well.
