Notes from Chris
Episode 708
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: How many Black Friday/Cyber Monday/"on sale now" promotional emails did you get over the past couple weeks? I think I lost count at 100+, including many from lists I had never subscribed to. 😠📩 Still, there is a place for the right email marketing. If you don't have an email list of your own, you're missing out. To learn more about this and everything else, check out today's Weekly Recap!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Danielle Fang, who was featured on the show in Ep. 84. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Danielle herself! You can also check out her website, Essa Group.

Each week I'll feature more stories from people who are starting side hustles without quitting their job. Here's a sneak peek of what's coming next week:
- After relocating to Tennessee from Canada, a restless homemaker creates an online farmers market, delivering produce to more than 200 homes a week
- He started creating webcomics back in 2003. Little did he know this labor of love would eventually turn into a $10,000 per event side hustle
- And much more!
