PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

December 17, 2025

Hey there, Profitable Musician!

I want to start out by thanking you, our readers, for consistently opening our newsletter each week. We have an open rate WAY above industry standards - usually over 50%.

When writing these newsletters, I always try to put myself in your shoes and consider what topics will benefit you and your music career.

The crazy thing about writing a weekly newsletter is that oftentimes, the topics you think are going to really land with readers do okay, while the pieces you think might be a bit niche or "off the wall" end up getting more opens and clicks than you expect.

Since I know that sometimes life gets in the way of you reading each and every Wednesday/Friday, I thought I'd pull together a list of the Top 10 most popular newsletters from 2025 based on your opens and clicks.

Dive into the Top 10 Profitable Musician Articles of 2025 below...
