Great breakdown of how TDLR grew to a 750,000 subscriber daily newsletter making more than $15k per day.

"If you’re making content to benefit your career, posting on a website that’s directly linked to your résumé/portfolio makes a whole lotta sense. You’ll want it as close to your résumé/portfolio as possible."

"Tapping your face takes me directly to your LinkedIn profile, which (hopefully) has your full work experience, a little about you, and a million reasons why you’re a bona fide candidate. It’s the shortest funnel you."

"Videos about people’s professional lives have become wildly popular across social media, from days-in-the-lives of certain occupations to break downs of the ins-and-outs of a job. Baristas, retail workers, and delivery drivers have become overnight social-media sensations. For some of these creators, their social media side-hustle can start to overtake their actual paychecks, with brands looking to cash in on very specific customer bases."

Big Idea: Creating content about your job can be very popular.

Nathan Barry interviews Thomas Frank.

"Thomas built a YouTube channel called College Info Geek to over a million subscribers. Since then, he’s rebranded and grown the channel to nearly 3 million subscribers. He’s also built a massive business around courses and Notion templates."

Big Ideas:
► "The individual creator has so much more opportunity than they did before." ► "What would you do if you had the skills but no audience and wanted to grow from 0 to 100k on YouTube or a newsletter in 12 months?"
► A viral long-form video can lead to thousands of new subscribers.
► Email has no discovery. You have to have this hub and spoke approach where something with an algorithm is driving discovery for you.

"Why it’s smart from a pure business, marketing, and influence perspective to use Mastodon as soon as possible."
