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.
