If you really want to succeed with a paid newsletter, you need proven strategies so you don’t have to go through the years of experimentation to find what works. Instead of the crowd of people struggling through that discovery process on Substack, here are three newsletters to study that nobody’s talking about: First, Motley Fool. They basically run a paid newsletter even though their monetization is a bit different, and they probably turn half a billion dollars in sales. Second, James Altucher. He runs ads that seem really scammy, but they work. How can you learn from his ads? Why do they work? Third, Agora. They get sued a lot and run some shady products, but just because they do that doesn’t mean their strategies don’t work. In fact, they work in spite of it. Copy the successes if you want to be successful. --- From Sam Parr on The Nathan Barry Show - Episode 030 Subscribe to Nathan Barry’s newsletter: https://nathanbarry.com Start your own newsletter: https://ConvertKit.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/nathanbarry Instagram: https://instagram.com/nathanbarryshow
