The profitable email flywheel nobody talks about
|
Hi Reader, Forget the algo. Don't worry about going viral. The real action lies in building an email list or newsletter. Many paths to monetization exist for newsletter owners. Here's one: Build an email list, and you'll get invites to 3rd party bundles and promotions. I say no to most 3rd part promotions. They're either not a good fit or I don't believe they'll convert. But, I regularly partner up with InfoStack. If you haven't heard of them, they bundle courses and products from across the creator space. Basically, I provide a product and agree to an email promotion. A few dozen creators do the same thing. I've earned $1000s from their bundles over the years. AND I also grow my list on autopilot because other contributors promote the bundle, too. It's a neat and profitable creative flywheel. You can see The Influence, Impact, and Income Super Stack bundle I'm promoting here (99% off) Bundles and cross promos are one way of monetizing your list in 2025. Many more exist, like ads, sponsors, and coaching. I'm not saying you NEED to get into an Infostack bundle or one like it. My email list earns while I sleep. Yours can, too. Grow your list to a few k subs and send weekly emails. Revenue opportunities WILL appear in your inbox. To the year of the personal brand! Write on, Bryan Collins PS The Influence, Impact, and Income Super Stack bundle is yours today for $67, but not for much longer. It'll help you kickstart your brand in 2025. |

Running a paid newsletter is all the rage. You can turn on paid subscriptions on Kit or Substack by connecting them to your Stripe account, pressing a button, and asking people to subscribe. A paid newsletter looks crazy attractive. Substack even slapped a calculator on the homepage at one point so aspiring newsletter owners could salivate over potential monthly profits. All you have to do is write your newsletter and forget about all that marketing. What creator wouldn’t love that type of...
Hi Reader I've tried many different SaaS productivity tools over the years. I keep coming back to Trello. It works for managing a newsletter, my YouTube channel, and blogging. I like Trello because it's easy to use. So I decided to document my work flow. Simply, plan a creative project on a single board... and limit what you work on. Write on, Bryan Collins Grammarly Discount I've partnered with Grammarly for this newsletter. It's a tool I use for my business. I use this app daily for grammar...
Hi Reader Over a million of young Italians left their country in the past 10 years. These 25–34-year-olds are saying arrivederci to cities like Rome, Florence and Milan because of low salaries and job opportunities. A few years ago, Ireland faced the exact same problem. Thousands of Irish my age quit the country and boarded planes to countries like Australia and the US because the Irish government bailed out the banks. A good chunk of these emigrating Irish never came home. A few friends of...
