Write “There’s not much I actually have to do” on a piece of paper.
Then try this.
Now, on to this week’s ideas…
New year, new valuable resources to help you:
1. 5 Productivity Traps That May Be Holding Your Business Back
The most common issues I see among thousands of business owners I help.
2. How To Make More People Want To Buy Your Course
Five ways I recommend you boost the value of your course to boost sales.
3. How Alex Hormozi Uses Email Marketing
What he focuses on (and what he doesn’t) may surprise you.
4. How To Systematize Anything
A simple approach to systematizing content that goes a step deeper than most.
5. How To Build A $60,000 Annual Business On Substack
Without charging for issues of your newsletter or selling sponsorships.
Sponsors and sources I recommend:
• Here’s how to reach the 32,254 subscribers who love this newsletter (twice!) for just $350.
• The Freelance Cake newsletter shows freelancers and consultants how to get better results with less effort.
• The Creatorboom newsletter features resources to help you start and grow a content-focused business.
If I had a jukebox…
My new Josh’s Jukebox playlist has the 138 songs that would have been on it last month.
Everything from Bruce Springsteen, to Khruangbin, to RZA, to Mariah Carey, to a pair of 10-year-old soul singing twins in the 1970s.
It started with $200 and one printed page.
While other newsletter experts are busy studying Morning Brew, I’m watching 3-hour interviews with the creator of The Source magazine about how he grew a one-page printed newsletter into an empire.
Remember:
If you only consume the same things everyone else consumes you only know the same things they know.
Mix it up.
Have an interesting week!
