Episode 463
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: Last week, we looked at launching crowdfunding campaigns. This week, let's consider email lists. In this episode, I share a personal experience where I was added to someone's email list without my permission. The lesson is that you should definitely have an email list, but don’t randomly add people to it. Nobody likes spam! And if you don't have an email list yet, check out ConvertKit. It's the email marketing platform I use for the show—plus, all Side Hustle School listeners get their first month absolutely free! Listener Shoutouts Last but not least, I'd like to give a shoutout to Paul who forwarded me a new project that he's working on called My Value Manifesto. Listen to the recap to hear more about this project, and check it out for yourself!EPISODES FROM THIS WEEK: Here's what we heard this week on Side Hustle School!
