Notes from Chris
Episode 470
LISTENER EMAILS & VOICEMAILS: This week, we received a listener email from Kat and a listener voicemail from Chris:- Kat: "Hey Chris, I'm a Day 1 listener and am finally getting my Side Hustle out of my mind and into the world. I'm starting Coffee People, a quarterly zine publication focusing on promoting the creative endeavors of folks who work in the coffee world. So far, I've been selling to people I know, through coffee shops I frequent, and via an online web store. I'm curious how to turn these one-off sales into a subscription-based model. Do you have any info/tips on how to manage a subscription service easily, effectively, affordably, and efficiently? Thanks much!"
- Chris called the Side Hustle Hotline in response to a prompt from a previous Weekly Recap to let us know what he was most excited about these days. He's relaunching his practice habits membership community for piano teachers!
