The method that took Borracha Laranja past 58,000 subscribers.

The newsletter is the most underused tool in sports communications. Unlike social media, you own the audience. Unlike a website, it lands directly in the reader's inbox. This programme covers everything needed to build a newsletter that works: editorial identity, content cadence, growth tactics, subscriber retention, and the path to monetisation. Built on direct experience founding and running Borracha Laranja, one of the largest independent Portuguese-language sports platforms.

A newsletter é a ferramenta mais subaproveitada na comunicação desportiva. Ao contrário das redes sociais, a audiência é sua. Ao contrário de um site, chega directamente à caixa de entrada do leitor. Este programa cobre tudo o que é necessário para construir uma newsletter que funciona: identidade editorial, cadência de conteúdo, tácticas de crescimento, retenção de subscritores e o caminho para a monetização. Construído a partir da experiência directa de fundar e gerir o Borracha Laranja, uma das maiores plataformas desportivas independentes de língua portuguesa.
