You're certainly right. It takes quite a commitment to write a good newsletter.
I started writing one last year myself. I have always been passionate about investing. And having grown up working in the tech and venture world, I've always had this theory that approaching stocks like Venture Capital can outperform the market, so I decided to write about it. It's been an interesting journey.
Time goes into 4 areas:
1) Research (figuring out what to write about...in my case, investment ideas and philosophy)
2) Writing (developing your writing style, actually putting your thoughts down on paper, and simplifying the topic as much as possible)
3) Outreach (actually finding the people who will find your writing interesting)
4) Discussion (email, dms, zoom calls with readers can be insightful, fun and motivating, but take time as well)
That's in addition to a full time job (if you do it on the side).

Best of Luck if you decide to start one :)
