Q&A: Masterclass on Starting a Newsletter, Business Failure and Validating Ideas⏐Ep. #124

Check out the tools I use for my newsletter business:

Using these links gets you a discount and helps support this podcast. 🚀

I'm back with another Q&A episode! This week, I advise Dustin on recovering from business failure, suggesting he consider buying a business and exploring local opportunities. Then, I help Demetrius focus his many ideas, suggesting he validate them with online tools rather than launching them right away. I also talk about focusing on improving your current business and getting more customers. Finally, I discuss the power of newsletters with an anonymous listener, explaining the benefits of co-registration and using Facebook ads to drive traffic, as well as recommending Beehiiv and SparkLoop.

Timestamps below. Enjoy!
