Last month, I spoke to Alex Lieberman about how starting a newsletter completely changed his life. He started Morning Brew in college and eventually sold it for $70 million. I haven't quite made the same amount from my newsletter lol but the single best decision I've made as a creator has been starting a newsletter because it's led to everything else. So in this video, I wanted to break down you should start, what you can actually write about and how to get started.

I love your newsletter! And I think it's the only one I read regularly and don't skip because there's always a relatable idea/piece of advice. Odissey plan was a great exercise by the way!

@liezelvdmunlimited Год назад

Standing ovation from South Africa 🇿🇦. You have been one of my favourites the past year or so. Massive value. 2023 blessings. Let’s gooooooooo !

@zaidazim6128 Год назад

Thanks to Ali 🙌 I picked up the habit of reading 2 years ago. I’ve read some life-altering books (fiction and nonfiction) that have really shaped me as a person. I became a note-taker, taking notes from podcasts, articles and videos -- applying 40-50 ish percent of that advice in my life. I taught myself touch typing. I was introduced to a bunch of awesome creators like Nat Elison and David Perell, to name a few. I have my own website where I share things I find interesting (p.s. my site is greatly inspired by Ali’s own website) My perspective on many things has changed drastically - in a very positive way! I’d be missing out on a lot of cool stuff had it not been for this man. Ali if you're reading this, I couldn't thank you enough!

@sahi_loch Год назад

same here. Man. try to join Alis PTYA as well

@AM.10 Год назад

Which books would you recommend?

@danabujo Год назад

You made this look so easy! And after trying it myself, I discovered it actually is. I can't believe how one morning I watch this video, and you've inspired me to get out there and create my own newsletter. Thanks a heap! Your content is always super helpful. Thanks for doing what you do!!

@njmeds7983 Год назад

How has it gone for you? Have you been able to monetize?

@RorysKitchen Год назад

Hy Rory, If you are looking for efficient emails that will flood your landing page with traffic. You're at the right place. I'm a copywriter and help businesses improve their results and do cool stuff! Let me know if you're interested Thank you Dhruv

@RorysKitchen Год назад

@@HanBang To start with, just my journey as a creator and what I've learnt and am learning. I mainly post on TikTok personally under different pseudonyms, and have also worked with brands behind the scenes for years. Then we will see what evolves. Just gotta get started like Ali said! My main RU-vid channel will probs be my food channel 'Rory's Kitchen' and I'll share how everything is going in my creator world. Wish me luck! First one going out on my birthday in a week's time!

I just created my newsletter! Thanks to Ali, I created my blog last year and now a newsletter. I do want to start my youtube journey too but that's taking a bit of time since I need to get over my fear of starting and perfectionism but writing is perfect for me since this is a lot more comfortable than recording myself. Thanks for providing so much value for free for new creators!

@ketotwins Год назад

Great video - but anyone thinking of doing this beware that it is against Amazon’s TOS to include their affiliate links in emails. They will suspend your account. Pat Flynn mentioned it in one of his videos.

@prashil1512 Год назад

why tho, its still affiliate marketing

@reginaldcole5596 Год назад

Thanks, this is very important to sellers on Amazon. I am more focused on my newsletter lately because I have a passion for writing.

@Liberty-Works1111 9 месяцев назад

Great Video Ali!!! Love the simplicity of your methods & the fact that you realize you are predominantly speaking to a beginner audience but have more advanced material to be accessed for those who are growing in experience & knowledge... I subscribed & will be following your offerings!

@rachels9080 Год назад

Very inspiring content, I've started one about all the life skills I wish they had taught us in Sixth Form/college eg money and finance, how to be confident in the workplace and relationship skills etc. It's been on my mind for a while but this video finally gave me the creative push I needed! Thanks Ali!

@kanwarshakti 9 месяцев назад

Thank you Ali. I am really grateful for this, i went through your video tonight and by morning i have created my newsletter. Thank you for the inspiration.

@StefanMarjoram 4 месяца назад

This all looks very interesting but the thing I'm confused by is how to get people to see your newsletter. I'm an artist and have quite a few followers and people that have bought prints and drawings in the past - but adding their email addresses to my sub stack would be spamming wouldn't it? Do I just have to hope it will evolve gradually by itself?

@sarahstudylife 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! I was debating whether I should start writing my own substack email newsletter. Your video lists many critical reasons for starting an email newsletter, which has 'convinced' me. Precisely, I've had 'substack' stuck behind my mind - hesitating what to write about- and this video gave the last trigger. Hopefully I'll get to start newsletter sharing with content curation and study tips!
