How to Set Up Twitter Newsletters and Why Newsletters Aren’t Going Anywhere

You probably check your email every day, whether for work or personal reasons, and so do millions of other people. As a result, newsletters are an excellent vehicle for reaching an audience, whether you have a brand or you’re trying to build one. And in a day and age where almost anything can have a subscription model, there’s more opportunity for the average person to create a valuable source of income.

Revue is an online publishing platform aimed at writers and publishers that Twitter acquired in 2021. Now, Twitter users have access to an integration that allows them to set up and display their newsletter on their profile quickly. Thanks to its simple interface and Twitter integration, anyone can start creating and publishing a newsletter and immediately find an audience.

Step 1: You can only set up your newsletter from the Twitter desktop app, so open that and click on More → Newsletters.

Step 2: This gives you a ‘Find Out More’ screen, which takes you to Revue

Step 3: Click Sign up with Twitter or Sign up with email

Step 4: Follow the instructions to set up your account and start publishing!
