I've built and sold multiple websites, newsletters and communities through marketplaces/brokerages and privately. I can offer guidance to those looking to acquire or exit.
I've built and sold several newsletter businesses, such as the Website Investing Publication for six figures, details here https://theygotacquired.com/content/website-investing-publication-acquired-by-travis-jamison-of-smash-vc/.
As well as selling two newsletters to The Wisdom Group https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/acquiregg-acquired-by-the-wisdom-group-301847382.html where I'm now involved with improving the newsletter marketplace Duuce.com and Sponsorships.com
Hi, happy to jump on a call to advise with the setup of lead capture & nurturing through drip email sequences. Your man for advice on integrations would be Denis from Integration Agent denis@integrationagent.com
I'd recommend checking out https://www.pipedrive.com - great drag and drop pipeline view (no affiliate or relationship with the company).
I don't think you need a CRM immediately, but you do need to implement a drip email sequence that educates, nurtures and qualifies leads based on behaviour. I'd recommend taking a look at Drip - I wrote a post on why I moved to them from Mailchimp http://www.richardpatey.com/email-marketing-automation-leaving-mailchimp-drip/
Richard has been in the newsletter game for a long time & has a ton of great insights into how to scale and operate a successful newsletter business.
