FULL STORY
======================================================================

 WordPress has announced the launch of new premium material available inside 
its newsletters in an effort to help small businesses, creators, and 
entrepreneurs to draw in more revenue. 

The blogging platform and website builder launched its Newsletters feature in 
December 2022, and has seen it become an increasingly popular vehicle for 
those looking to share special and personalized content, or simply links to 
existing blog posts, directly with customers and followers. 

In its product announcement , WordPress explains the typical use case for 
premium content in newsletters: Paid subscriptions let your fans support your

Despite the potential to earn big with premium newsletters, WordPress is 
offering them across all plans including free plans, through transaction fees 
sit at 10% on this end of the scale. Climb higher through the tiers (and pay 
for the privilege), and transaction fees will drop to the point where they 
are negated on the Commerce plan, which costs $45 per month. 

Payment processing is handled by Stripe, thus paid WordPress newsletters are 
only available in countries where Stripe operates . 

With WordPress sites accounting for a significant proportion of all sites 
globally, the companys Newsletters feature is expected to prove beneficial to 
many thousands of users, and while what comes next is unclear, WordPress says 
that its always on the case refining the design, experience, and offerings 
for writers, creators, and publishers. Looking to diversify revenue streams?
