Matthew Schniper is the founder of the newsletter Side Dish with Schniper…

Expertly curated food & drink news + reviews inside Colorado Springs’ culinary scene

Population of Colorado Springs = 500,000. 

Matthew was an editor for a local newspaper and started his newsletter in 2023 after that paper shut down.

He now has 2000 subscribers

And according to a recent interview, that’s enough to earn him $6000 per month.

Instead of selling traditional ads or charging subscribers, Matthew created an exclusive 12-member sponsorship model.

Sponsors (restaurants, bars, coffee shops) pay $500/month for year-round visibility

Each sponsor gets…

a recent edition of the newsletter

Sounds like this could be emulated in any city with a good food culture.

The exclusive sponsorship model might also work for non-food local newsletters
