    Anybody here start a Supplement brand before?

    MARKETING INVESTING SIDE HUSTLE 
    Interesting, thanks for sharing About "have my own products" do you mean actually producing them or going through larger orders through a manufacturer? There seem to be a lot of options these days for private labels like "small order quantity we handle your fulfillment" but as you mentioned...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Yep absolutely, you can differentiate with a different take. I was referring more to something more generic like Morning Brew, even though Litquidity/Exec Sum did it well targetting a smaller niche and talking their language

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Interesting point, I tend to agree but differently from a blog (where you can always improve upon other similar blog posts around that topic by making them more throughout or better written) with a B2C newsletter like Morning Brew it's harder to improve on content because the daily news to...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    The business model is fantastic (especially under the Control perspective) However, I think its main weakness is the low entry barrier, especially when it's something more generalist like Morning Brew. Everyone can create a newsletter these days; the only moat would be building a brand over...

    EVERY Health, Wealth, and Relationship Coach MUST DO THIS.

    MARKETING 
    I changed my mind on this. I think social media, even if they don't bring sales, can be helpful to nurture a relationship and build trust long-term with customers and potential customers, especially in DTC brands. It's not just about direct sales obtained, but also how other acquisition...

    Product idea - Dog water bottle (Pet industry)

    IDEA 
    Just my two cents... I actually don't think it's a bad product, it does have clear benefit and it can be annoying to have my dog drinking from a bottle (lots of water gets spilled and wasted). I'm not sure I would buy it honestly, and I dog buy a lot of accessories for my dog (clothes and...

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, exactly! I can only imagine how challenging it must be to run a company this big and still being able to run do customer support so personalized and relatable. But the return is there, especially in an industry with repeated customers like pets

    Chewy Customer Service - Value Skew

    EXECUTION 
    Just wanted to share this tweet from a customer of Chewy which reminded so much of what MJ often says. "Crappy customer service is a huge skewing opportunity." View: https://twitter.com/alcesanna/status/1536930380082728961 In this case the customer service of Chewy was so good that it went...

    SEO + SaaS = Trust the process?

    HOT! MARKETING MINDSET EXECUTION 
    SEO is slow and can be frustrating (I've grown my company to 6 figures with just SEO). Keep it up and trust the process.

    European MeetUp

    MEETUPS 
    Sounds like an interesting idea, I was in Tenerife and Las Palmas last year for 4 months and kinda liked it, not a bad location where to do a mastermind. Hit me up if you end up organizing it, I'd be interested in joining

    Your secrets for maximum productivity?

    MINDSET 
    The most important thing for me to stay productive is separating the environment where I work (co-working or coffee shops) and the one where I rest (home.) If I don't do this, my productivity gradually decreases over time, and I get into a spiral of bad sleep (I can't turn off my brain when I...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I recently finished Bootstrap Your Life: How to turn £500 into £350 million by Oliver Cookson. This guy is no joke, he founded MyProtein, the biggest online supplements brand in Europe. If you're in EU you probably know the brand already. The whole book reads like a Success Story from this...

    What will you focus on in 2022?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I see life as juggling three balls, each one represents health, wealth, and relationships. If you juggle these three well you get happiness as a result (the fourth ball which is not moving cause you can't directly affect it.) Not my metaphor but I think it's very true. So I have habits and...
