📖 The Hustle
Send a weekly newsletter highlighting hidden-gem indie games, upcoming releases, and the best Steam sale deals. Include mini-reviews of one under-the-radar game each issue. PC gamers are always hunting for their next favorite game and love curated recommendations. Monetize through affiliate links to game storefronts, paid tier with early reviews, and game key sponsorships.
🚀 First Step
Find three indie games on Steam with under 500 reviews that you genuinely enjoy, write a short review of each, and send your first newsletter.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Include actual playtime hours in reviews so readers know you played the game
- Create a Steam curator page that links back to your newsletter
- Organize seasonal sale guides with tier lists for different budgets
