For The Interested - FTI #331: 45 questions answered

Here's a list of all the questions I've answered on the show with links to see my answers.
I'd LOVE it if you share that tweet or tell people you know about the show.

3. How James Clear Built A Huge Email List Before He Was A Bestselling Author
A must-read if you've got a newsletter.
4. 10 YouTube Title Formats Proven To Work Well
A test of 103 video titles revealed whether you're better off using a question or statement title, the impact negativity has on clicks, and the difference between using specific and generic language.

Turns out a lot of the conventional wisdom about how to structure your business is wrong.
