I bought a newsletter

There is one thing to talk about newsletters being the next big thing…

But it’s another to put your money where your mouth is…

I just acquired a newsletter that has approx 40k subscribers that I will be rolling into my side hustle newsletter, Your Extra Paycheck.

This is how I got it…

One cool thing about marketing is networking.

Something that I did not do early on when I first started because of just being scared.

After a while and I was more established and could confidently walk around telling people I quit my day job for a side hustle, I did better with networking.

I ended up being friends with a guy named Sam (I changed the name to protect the innocent, lol)

But he was a blogger for longer than I was, but the first few round of Google updates that hit 3 or 4 years ago was enough for him and he took his SEO skills and got a snazzy leadership role at a major website.

Anyway, because of the change, he let his site and YouTube channel sit for a while without doing much with it.

So, when I found out he had this massive list that was just sitting there doing nothing, I decided to pitch and form a partnership.

I mean, the quickest way to make money is to promote yourself to other people’s audiences.

My newer side hustle newsletter, which has just under 1,000 subscribers that I started only 45 days ago, is about to get a massive facelift.

Here is what I’m doing to migrate the new list over:

1. Found an awesome LTD on Appsumo for Email Verification

2. Scrubbed the list since Sam hasn’t email them in a while.

3. Setup a 7 email sequence that will run over the coming week slowly transitioning me as the new owner.

4. I will send a welcome email with a freebie to try to get on their good graces early on with nothing but value.

That is essentially the playbook and I’ll let you know how it goes.

I will be using beehiiv because beehiiv is freakin amazing.

Anyways, I’m super excited about this and if you have any questions about what I’m doing, let me know!
