Course overview
Launch a Newsletter That Will Change Your Life.
During this course, you’ll launch your own life changing newsletter.
Even if you’re starting from Ground Zero or don’t consider yourself a “writer,” use this course to go from:
"What do I write about?"
to
"I can't believe I have thousands of engaged subscribers!"
Take this course if
01
You work in tech, startups or VC and want to build that coveted "personal brand".
02
You're hitting a barrier trying to raise capital, attract employees, or engage customers.
03
You want jobs, investors, speaking engagements and others emailing you instead of the other way around.
Key outcomes
Never be afraid to hit 'Send' again.
We'll teach you the Sweet Spots Technique to help you find the ideal niche for your newsletter -- one that you're excited about writing about consistently.
Build a powerful network, faster.
Instead of burning hours and hours on endless meetups, calls, and coffees, we’ll show you how to use your newsletter to get the right people’s attention -- at scale, and in less time.
Grow your newsletter authentically.

The Drips and Drops Framework for driving subscriber growth and retention, how to run low cost live events to drive growth, and more.
Be known as an expert in your space.
Build a body of work showcasing your industry expertise that you can point investors, employees, founders, and potential employers towards for decades to come.

Take the first step to creating a powerful asset that will change your life.
