“Outliers make for great inspiration…but lousy role models.”
That great line comes from a book I just finished reading called The Algebra of Wealth.
Highly recommended.
Now, on to this week’s ideas..
I guarantee your content improves if you check out the following resources:
1. My Playbook For Using Social Media To Grow A Newsletter
I recently shared half of my Newsletter Social Playbook on the Hey Creator podcast.
It’s one of many resources you get access to when you work with me.
2. 10 Things To Do In 10 Minutes Before You Start Working
Even trying a single one of them will have a big impact.
3. 10 Key Concepts To Consider Before Your Next Product Launch
As one reader said, “Hard for someone to go wrong if they follow these steps.”
4. How To Throw An Event For Your Newsletter Readers
I’ve been to one of these for a newsletter I subscribe to and it was fantastic – highly recommend trying one.
5. How Successful Newsletters Run Cross-Promotions
Including how they find partners, track results, and build relationships.
I don’t just let anyone sponsor this newsletter. Here’s who made the cut this week:
• Here’s how to reach the 35,000 subscribers who love this newsletter (twice!) for just $350.
• Detroit singer-songwriter Steve Acho’s TED Talk and new song ‘Unity’ inspire us to unite around shared goals, not division. Listen here.
• The Send & Grow newsletter will help you grow your newsletter’s audience and revenue.
• 60,000+ marketers from top companies read the Stacked Marketer newsletter to get actionable marketing advice.
• Check out A Smart Bear for deep dives into strategy, startups, product, and founder psychology.
Summer might be over, but…
It lives on when you listen to my Riddim playlist.
If reggae/dub isn’t your speed, you can also check out my Campfire playlist for a more mellow Americana vibe.
The podcast I linked to above isn’t the only one I was on this week.
I was also interviewed on The 1,000 Podcast where I had the opportunity to talk about all sorts of stuff I don’t often talk about including the state of the entertainment industry, the story of my career, my take on AI, and more.
Have an interesting week!
Josh
