How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model
GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGI wouldn't use shoutouts on Instagram. You have no way of knowing the audience of the person who is shouting you out. Could just be a bunch of fake bots etc or a generic audience which doesn't care about your product. Targeted ads would get you much better results. $740 is enough to get you...- redshift

Building a Following and Developing Relationships on Twitter
HOT! MARKETINGI would always choose organic growth first. But, if you are running ads anyway, you'll get much better results on IG (especially since you said that's where your audience is). They also have A/B testing built-in to the platform. Takes a little effort to learn, but it's fun after a while. In...- redshift

Building a Following and Developing Relationships on Twitter
HOT! MARKETINGI had the same observations. The amount of noise+junk on Twitter is just insane. Some of my notes - 1) The way to use social media in your business while staying sane is to remain a producer and not get sucked into actually using the product. It's easy to do this on Instagram by not following...- redshift

60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together
GOLD! HOT! MINDSETMeditation doesn't give you anything. It's an act of reduction. You aren't trying to add anything. It's about letting go of what isn't necessary - fear, greed, anger, impatience, apathy, ego, and getting back to a state of balance. Since I started meditation, I have been the happiest and most...- redshift

60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together
GOLD! HOT! MINDSETFYI, In case you aren't aware - The Buddha was a prince and came from one of the richest families of that time. He was unhappy with his life and decide to go find a solution to happiness instead. He first tried asceticism and realized it was total b.s. The type of insight practice he did come up...- redshift

How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model
GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGI like the new design, looks way better than before. The new logo is great too. If you ever need a mailer alternative, I'm a fan of pay-per-email services such as Amazon SES - Amazon Simple Email Service | Cloud Email Service | Amazon Web Services. It's popular in the apps world but should work...- redshift

NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHATI liked the message of this book but felt like it had twice as many pages as it needed. The author had a very rambling tone at times as well. Worth a read nevertheless.- redshift

60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together
GOLD! HOT! MINDSETMy theory would be he genuinely thinks it's a good idea. I've heard this many times over now in the Waking Up podcast. Practitioners with multiple years of meditation experience start teaching an advanced technique to beginners because it provided them with profound benefits (1 hour of do...- redshift

60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together
GOLD! HOT! MINDSETYeah, agreed with @SteveO. One of the biggest differences I've noticed is in the creative realm. It has unlocked this ability to "download information" and making connections which might have been missed before. Scientifically this stems from having a stronger right hemisphere of the brain and...- redshift

60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together
GOLD! HOT! MINDSETVery Peculiar indeed. I'm guessing it's the style of meditation you chose to jump into (i.e following advice from Naval to "do nothing") instead of formally learning it could be a factor here. I actually do that style now sometimes but only after years of concentration training (breath,mantra...- redshift

NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHATCheck out "Stillness is the Key" by Ryan Holiday. It has a bunch of examples of mindfulness applied to endeavors that require peak performance (sports, business, etc). Another one I'm reading is "Just Breathe" by Dan Brule. More about breathwork, but really it's about a Navy Seal who was deep...- redshift

GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGDoesn't Ghost support subscriptions natively as part of the monthly fees? Why take them out into another platform and give up 5-10% of your income?- redshift

How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model
GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGNice. Makes sense. I think a podcast would work well too for this topic. It's fairly niche and "Discomfort Club" already has a catchy name to it. That could feed into the private calls or as a Q&A session with the speaker.- redshift

How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model
GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGIt works great for my use case, i.e blog + newsletter as a marketing channel for an app, which isn't the topic of thread I suppose.

How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model
GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGThe platform/software seems very nice but their pricing model seems a bit steep though. i.e - They increase the monthly fees based on the number of subscribers (including free ones) rather than a % of paid profits. So if you get a few thousand free subscribers and don't have any monetization...- redshift
