_{NEWSLETTERS are SUPER HOT RIGHT NOW}

Newsletters (I am not talking about crappy promotional emails), if done correctly, can build raving fans, launch products to the top of search and make a lot of money directly and indirectly.

I know first hand. I have done it.

The tools and methods have come a long way since I did it with a cobbled-together system in the early 2000’s.

I sent 250,000 opt-in email newsletters daily, 7 days a week, generating millions of dollars in physical product and digital sales.

Not only can newsletters make serious money on their own, they can drive massive sales to your products.

Real newsletters can also be sold for millions:

• Industry Dive was acquired for $525M in 10 years

• Morning Brew was acquired for $75M in 5 years

• The Hustle was acquired for ~$27M in 4 years

• Milk Road sold for 7 figures in 10 months

Two weeks ago at Funnel Hacking Live, Russell Brunson made a newsletter the core foundation of his Linchpin system in front of 4,500 internet marketers.

Perry Belcher is all-in on newsletters. Check out the October 19 AM/PM Podcast next week to hear Perry and I speak about it. And be sure to listen to this week’s AM/PM podcast as Jon Derkits and I talk about it too.

Some of you know my personal trainer, Mike O’Hara, from the BDSS events (early morning beach workouts). He started a newsletter a few weeks ago for his training business and is crushing it.

Jo Lambadjieva from the last BDSS in Puerto Rico fired up an AI for Ecommerce newsletter after hearing me speak.

A partner of mine in Germ Shark also started a newsletter in the sustainability space a couple months ago for a company he consults for.

An attendee from the first BDSS in 2019 launched a Fast Food newsletter in July. He started by buying a Facebook group for $1,500, and now has 21,000+ newsletter subscribers and growing.

He’s targeting a customer avatar that he can sell physical products to, get top tier sponsors for, and then hopefully exit for millions.

He is doing it with a single VA and automation. You should sign-up and study his tactics.

The traditional ways of building an audience to launch products include:

• Facebook groups / advertising / SEO & blogs

• Post on Instagram, Tik Tok, etc. / Influencers / PR

• Capture emails from inserts, landing pages

• Other people’s audiences - launch services

With just a single click at Amazon, Walmart, Twitter, Linkedin, or Meta's HQ, your entire business could be wiped out in an instant.

Building a business on social media or just by selling on marketplaces like Amazon means you're building it on rented grounds.

That's why it's crucial to OWN your audience, aka build an engaged email list.

Smart marketers play the game like this →

They get attention where it’s easiest (social / Amazon) and then transfer it to somewhere they own (email / snail mail).

You can build highly engaged audiences to buy your products quickly even if you are starting with nobody on your email list.

Some people have blogs, which can be great for SEO. But that’s pull, not push marketing. People have to go there on their own - you don’t go to them.

You should be trying to capture every single person’s email that comes to your blog or web page, even if they don’t give you their email address (there are tools that do this secretly, like DataZapp).

I also recommend you subscribe for free to Growth in Reverse. Every Sunday she sends a newsletter breaking down how one and two person companies are building huge audiences rapidly using newsletters.

Plus, on December 1, I will be hosting a FREE webinar for BDSN newsletter subscribers showing you all the tools, methods and everything you need to know to integrate a newsletter into your physical products or agency business.

_{It will max out at 2,000 attendees.
Get on the waiting list now. Don’t miss it!}

A select few of you reading this newsletter are doing it right. The rest of you are just sending crappy emails nobody wants or reads. This book may help:

I also highly recommend the podcast below. Former Amazonian Jon Derkits and I talk about newsletters, AI and more. You’ll learn a lot.

CrypToadz is a popular NFT project dating back to 2021.

• 77K ETH ($252M+) in all-time sales, according to CryptoSlam

• It's described as a collection of "small amphibious creatures" (which was also the nickname of my youth swim team)

Earlier this week, the bad boy below sold on OpenSea for 1,055 WETH.

That’s $1.6 million dollars to you and me. All the others around it are selling for about $800-900.

Was it a fat finger mistake? Maybe. But if so, it can’t be undone.

Even you as a 5 year-old could’ve made this pixel mess!

As a side note, per CyrptoSlam, the Bulls and Ape Project created by the founders of Helium 10 after they exited has sold $6.7 million of NFTs.

✌🏼 Hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend.

See you on Monday!
