The Write to Roam

Alex Hormozi recently launched a book that sold more than three million copies in three days, smashing the record for fastest-selling non-fiction book, and raking in over $100M in sales.

A friend of mine was at a party here in Austin recently, chatting with a data scientist from Medium about AI-generated content.

I’m not sure what it was.

I got this really nice compliment on my Austin newsletter from Jason Scharf this week This was a big deal for me for two reasons: Jason runs the AustinNext podcast.

Most of the time, when a writer starts to feel bored, it’s because they’re writing what they think they should write, rather than what they’re actually interested in.

Yesterday, I sent the ninth issue of my local newsletter – the one I plan to grow into a 6-figure business – and as of right now, that list is sitting at 96 subscribers.

On May 6th, 1835, from a cellar in downtown New York, James Gordon Bennett Sr. published the first-ever stock report based on information he’d gathered on Wall Street.

The first person who ever really explained newsletter monetization to me was James Altucher, and if you’ve seen the Newsletter Engine business model we published at Trends, it was strongly influenced by him.

Here’s something that no one’s going to tell you when you first get started writing or creating things on the internet… Someday, a new generation of creators will come up behind you, and they’re going to be better than you in a lot of ways.
