[@Kraton_]

The details you're getting in these interviews and video format are killer! Has anyone ever mentioned how they handle health insurance when they first start out? Are they taking a chance and skipping on it or did they pay for private insurance early on?

[@starterstory]

That's a good question. One thing you can do is start building on the side and stay on your employer's health insurance (that's what i did)

[@sharpstartup]

Great video as always! I’m curious to understand why he took the path of 5 different newsletters instead of having a single focus of growing one newsletter. This is thought provoking because I’ve always stuck to the assumption that sticking to a single task or project yields the highest returns and growth, but Alex is obviously crusting it with 5 letters.

[@starterstory]

I think that's a good assumption. Focus on one thing!

Insightful. Would be helpful to know how people like Alex decide what content should go for Newsletters and what is safe enough to be posted on socials where marketing to get subscribers is being done. (I know it might be pretty obvious but if they get dilemma in deciding out the strategy.)

[@starterstory]

Not sure I understand your question?

[@LucianoDevoto]

I think you can post in social media a teaser of the topics discussed in the newsletter to drive traffic and subs

Writing online and making a ton money is the latest shiny object s**t sold online coz eventually these so-called online writers make most of their money not from writing but from selling a "How to write online and become your own boss" course.

[@kunalguwalani4756]

Love the video Pat! Alex said that he will pay a $1000 to get in front of 10000 people in his niche. Isn't that a cpm of $100. Is it too high or normal in newsletters?

[@LucianoDevoto]

I think it all depends of what you are selling and the value of the audience. Eg. if the newsletter audience are architects and I sell a software for architects at a premium price ($100/m), then it would make sense to spend the money + it's a good branding exercise

[@kunalguwalani4756]

@@LucianoDevoto ooo thanks! how much cpm would you say a marketing newsletter with targeted audience can charge? Like just a ballpark number it doesn't have to be accurate
