Creator Flywheels – The Operating System for Your Business

Nathan Barry of ConvertKit gives several examples of how creators can facilitate growth with flywheels.

"Too many creators are running their business on hard mode. By setting up a few strategic flywheels, you can set yourself free."

On Sahil Bloom's Flywheel
"The bigger his newsletter grows, the more sponsors pay for each issue, which gives him more revenue to reinvest in acquiring new paid subscribers. On an early turn, this flywheel produced 10,000 new subscribers per month. Now that it’s grown, this flywheel produces more than 30,000 new subscribers for Sahil each month."

Nathan Barry had a great interview on the Sparkloop podcast covering flywheels. I summarized that interview on Twitter. (I'd love a retweet if you could spare a minute.)

Growth

 

Outside-The-Box Creator Business Models

Simon Owens provides examples of creators who've built thriving businesses off of their content. Here is one example:

"Doug DeMuro is a 34-year-old car enthusiast who, in 2013, launched a YouTube channel where he mainly reviews cars. He eventually amassed over 4 million subscribers and 1.6 billion views on the channel.

For the first several years, he monetized the channel through traditional means, mainly advertising. But in 2020, he launched Cars & Bids, an online auction marketplace that makes it easy for people to sell their cars.

Earlier this year, he announced a $37 million VC investment from the Chernin Group. By then, the platform had generated over $200 million in sales."

The AI Newsletter War

Matt McGarry shares his experiences helping to grow The Milk Road crypto newsletter in 2022 and explains why so many AI-focused newsletters are experiencing explosive growth now.

► Zain Kahn grew his AI newsletter Superhuman to 200,000 subscribers in less than 4 months
► Rowan Cheung grew The Rundown to 150,000 subscribers in 4 months
► Ben Tossel grew Ben’s Bites to 90,000 subscribers in 7 months.

Big Ideas:
► 85% of The Milk Road's subscribers came from paid acquisition.
► Top AI newsletters are experts at using Twitter to get subscribers.
► The cost to acquire a subscriber on Sparkloop's referral network can be half the amount paid because of the way they qualify subscribers.
