🧙‍♂️ Paid Sponsorships with Skittles, L.O.L. Surprise, Mobil 1 x Walmart, Visionworks x Cole Haan, Braun, Valarian NFT, and many more [April 28]

Hey there,

OK, I'm kinda embarrassed to admit this...but I had a total fanboy moment recently. 🙈

Nathan Barry, the CEO of ConvertKit (ya know, the crazy inspirational, multi-million dollar, creator-focused software startup that I use to send these emails to you)...

Asked me to be on his podcast! 🤯 😅

It's a pretty wide-ranging interview and we talk about:

• The differences and similarities between sponsorships and newsletters
• My tips for starting your newsletter and getting traction
• How a simple change in my Twitter headline led to amazing growth for my "brand"
• Why you need to charge your sponsors different amounts
