[@letelba1]

Heey Ali, Revue is discontinued by twitter.

[@JohnLaGuardia]

The Morning Brew podcast is awesome as well. I listen to it each morning during my commute.

[@adarshnayak3706]

How more humble could a man be? He teaches you how to create a newletter. And even promises to be your "first subscriber" to it. Such an inspiring teacher you are. Thanks for existing Ali !!

[@SuccessWithSam]

I am thankful to Ali because he inspired me to start my channel and be a creatrepreneur and now I have 32k subs 🤯🤯. Thanks Ali!

[@gameXplorer23]

Just checking your channel subs 🤯 now from 32k subs to 345k subs within 1yr Inspired by this🙌🏽🫡

[@zaidazim6128]

Thanks to Ali 🙌 I picked up the habit of reading 2 years ago. I’ve read some life-altering books (fiction and nonfiction) that have really shaped me as a person. I became a note-taker, taking notes from podcasts, articles and videos -- applying 40-50 ish percent of that advice in my life. I taught myself touch typing. I was introduced to a bunch of awesome creators like Nat Elison and David Perell, to name a few. I have my own website where I share things I find interesting (p.s. my site is greatly inspired by Ali’s own website) My perspective on many things has changed drastically - in a very positive way! I’d be missing out on a lot of cool stuff had it not been for this man. Ali if you're reading this, I couldn't thank you enough!

[@sahi_loch]

same here. Man. try to join Alis PTYA as well

[@AM.10]

Which books would you recommend?

[@RorysKitchen]

Honestly I've been wanting to start a newsletter for about 12 years and this finally gave me what I needed to do it. Exactly why I love your content & your channel bro, keep it up!

[@HanBang]

What’s it about?

[@TheFinals-Blade]

Hy Rory, If you are looking for efficient emails that will flood your landing page with traffic. You're at the right place. I'm a copywriter and help businesses improve their results and do cool stuff! Let me know if you're interested Thank you Dhruv

[@RorysKitchen]

@@HanBang To start with, just my journey as a creator and what I've learnt and am learning. I mainly post on TikTok personally under different pseudonyms, and have also worked with brands behind the scenes for years. Then we will see what evolves. Just gotta get started like Ali said! My main KZbin channel will probs be my food channel 'Rory's Kitchen' and I'll share how everything is going in my creator world. Wish me luck! First one going out on my birthday in a week's time!

[@xxahid]

12 years? 💀

[@albatrozz3058]

12 freakin years!!!????? OMG why wait that long....aaaahhhh

[@danabujo]

You made this look so easy! And after trying it myself, I discovered it actually is. I can't believe how one morning I watch this video, and you've inspired me to get out there and create my own newsletter. Thanks a heap! Your content is always super helpful. Thanks for doing what you do!!

[@njmeds7983]

How has it gone for you? Have you been able to monetize?

[@nora8200]

Thank you so much Ali. I finally started my newsletter because of this video. I’ve always felt I got something to say but don’t know where to start. Can’t appreciate enough! The video is very clear about why and how and the examples are very helpful! 🎉

[@sainuddinkm2691]

What's your newsletter name i will subscribe to it

[@menegbarayeghe2285]

How is it now?

Standing ovation from South Africa 🇿🇦. You have been one of my favourites the past year or so. Massive value. 2023 blessings. Let’s gooooooooo !

[@Ojuolape]

Totally agree. I, for example, started a weekly newsletter on psychology & philosophy, since I literally just randomly read research articles for fun. I might as well share in simple terms.

[@zaiDaDreamer]

that sounds super dope. How do I sub.

[@eliasserrano7424]

Super inspiring. Thank you!

[@prashil1512]

how many subs do you have on the newsletter

[@gidd]

Planning on doing the same in a different niche. Any tips on how to organize your research. regards

[@sadiyamukhtar_]

Just checked out your channel and I like the videos you make. Also, you have a new subscriber🎉

[@aigul3724]

I love your newsletter! And I think it's the only one I read regularly and don't skip because there's always a relatable idea/piece of advice. Odissey plan was a great exercise by the way!

[@sacdaabdurhman]

Feeling like you're constantly overlooked can make us question our worthiness Your worth can never be determined by someone else, People not giving you the credit that deserve is always their loss. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone.

With newsletters, you take a lead in your field AND build your knowledge, too. They help boost your company's credibility and help people build confidence as you being a possible supplier.

[@RoryBland]

Ayyyy 5 months later after watching this I finally posted my first Newsletter to 181 people. It was nerve wrecking but exciting. Thanks for the inspiration my dude.

[@soham5490]

Do you used substack

[@alstonbarretto]

This is probably the first time I ever skipped right to the part on how to get started. Great content as always 👍

[@aliabdaal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ketotwins]

Great video - but anyone thinking of doing this beware that it is against Amazon’s TOS to include their affiliate links in emails. They will suspend your account. Pat Flynn mentioned it in one of his videos.

[@prashil1512]

why tho, its still affiliate marketing

[@reginaldcole5596]

Thanks, this is very important to sellers on Amazon. I am more focused on my newsletter lately because I have a passion for writing.

[@wamemmolawa]

Thank you, I have literally just published my first post on my first newsletter, just from watching this. Thank you.

[@Creativepenciling]

I started my newsletter last Sunday. What coincidence! But I must admit though I started because of you and your newsletter which I subscribed months ago. Thank you Ali for all the great contents you are producing.

[@mustafakhan9373]

Hey Ali! I’ve been contemplating starting my blog/newsletter for over a month now, and after seeing this you have given me the final push needed to make it a reality. I have started my newsletter on substack and plan to write what I find interesting as a student. (P.S: I’ve sent you an email, so a subscription like you promised would be more than ideal xD)

[@rachels9080]

Very inspiring content, I've started one about all the life skills I wish they had taught us in Sixth Form/college eg money and finance, how to be confident in the workplace and relationship skills etc. It's been on my mind for a while but this video finally gave me the creative push I needed! Thanks Ali!

[@rachels9080]

@aliabdaal I sent you an email but you've not subscribed yet?

[@rudeadvi4696]

how has your newsletter been going, have you attracted many subscribers?

[@gouri_gupta]

Appreciated, firstly he teaches uh nd secondly he is saying to be your first subscriber..🙌 this is something called support.

[@vaidyachaitanya]

I have started using substack since around 2 months. I really like it. It's really good to begin with.

[@ZoeysMusings]

You read my mind because I've been contemplating starting a newsletter but wasn't convinced until now. I'm good at sharing stuff I learn with others so I think that's what I'll do. Thanks, Ali!

[@rameshjagnade7391]

Same for me

[@POVLifeofaStudent]

Woah, I did it finally. I'm pretty excited, where this will take me and if someone finds my letters useful, but I'm glad I took this step rather than procrastinating on it. My goal is now to write and publish a new issue/report about my (student) life every week. Thank you so much Ali for this inspiration!

[@kristyboxx]

Hey Ali, ever since I found your channel you immediately became one of my top creators that I follow and learn from. Thank you for doing that amazing job for me. I started to attend to your weekly review and already feel like I’m getting a better grip on my life. Stay cool, have fun and laugh a ton, - Kiki

[@sonal1956]

What an amazing video on starting newsletter!....I really enjoy watching your videos..whenever i procrastinate or delay my study i just watch ur old videos of productivity day to energies mine . Your videos quality,background, music behind, content and much more..seriously show true progress of a productivity guru😊

[@sarahseungyoonkim]

Thank you! I was debating whether I should start writing my own substack email newsletter. Your video lists many critical reasons for starting an email newsletter, which has 'convinced' me. Precisely, I've had 'substack' stuck behind my mind - hesitating what to write about- and this video gave the last trigger. Hopefully I'll get to start newsletter sharing with content curation and study tips!

[@studying4079]

Hey there! I started my newsletter yesterday actually, It'd be cool to share ours! Good luck starting !!

Watching your videos is always incredibly helpful and motivating as I begin (restart/continue, really) on my creator journey. Today, I'm taking the time to rewatch this while I write another newsletter update as a reminder of what my focus is and where I want to be growing towards. Best of luck to the other creators in the comments below!

This all looks very interesting but the thing I'm confused by is how to get people to see your newsletter. I'm an artist and have quite a few followers and people that have bought prints and drawings in the past - but adding their email addresses to my sub stack would be spamming wouldn't it? Do I just have to hope it will evolve gradually by itself?

[@Sagin-ix4em]

Write your emails in way that it doesn’t end up in the spam folder

Ali, your content inspired me, thank you, brother, now I have more hope in life because I want to start a business to get out of the job that burdens me, I am from Indonesia, and I am a teacher, in Indonesia you can't make a real living as a full-time teacher because some of us (include me) just get paid 50 bucks to 60 bucks a month. I don't want to quit teaching but I can't make a living for my parents if I just depend on this job. Thank you for all of your information through your amazing content. I want to try this business, but my goal is not much, I just need an extra 250 bucks to 300 bucks/month so I can make sure my parents are enjoying their old days. I don't want to be rich or be famous, I just wanna make a living. Thank you, Ali, and to all of your subscribers, stay happy, healthy, and stay living :) I wish you all the best guys.

[@petrasi.7695]

Thanks for the video, Ali! I want to start a newsletter, but as someone, who is bi-(or multi-) lingual, I can't decide, in which language to start one. Slovak is my mother tongue, so it would be the best, because my family and my friends could read it. But there's a chance, that I will be going to uni in Austria, and as I speak German fluently and I want to make connections there, it would be a good idea to write in German. But English is one of the most spoken languages, more people could read it, but as you see, my English would've need lots of improving to write a newsletter in it.

[@SN-TRANDIEMTHAONGHI]

To start I think that you can write in the easiest way for you to make it a habit and when it will have became your habit, you can write in multi-languages.

[@JeffFinley]

Just sent out my first email newsletter in a long time hoping to re-engage and start writing again. I feel tons of anxiety, fear, trepidation, imposter syndrome, etc. I noticed a bunch are going to spam and I feel like I messed it up somehow. I worry that some of my haters and critics will throw shade or be mad. I'm afraid people will think I'm a joke for trying to do this at 41 years old. I am worried I offended someone by having an opinion, or that I wasn't inclusive or loving or empathetic enough to others needs. Or that I came across as needy or self-indulgent. I saw people from my past are on my list and I'm panicking worrying about what they must think. Ahh, it's crazymaking!

[@laserfloyd]

Great video. I've loved writing for ages now. I was terrible at it in grade school but I grew to enjoy the process of crafting something I thought might be engaging. Being a graphic artist, I have a few ideas for some things I might write, outside of that novel I'd love to write one day... 🤔
