I dont what is happening at my neighbor’s apartment but people are going in and out of there all night slamming the door. It doesn’t seem like a party because it’s not that loud inside. It’s only loud when people come and go. And I think everyone coming and going also lives in my building

For my newsletter, I wrote about the killing of Juniper Blessing and ruminated on who the media thinks deserves attention in death. Friday newsletters are usually paywalled, but I have made the mini-essay portion of this post free to all: www.burnsnotice.com/her-name-was...

The entire state of Louisiana voting against these racist white folks effectively trying to segregate the school system in Baton Rouge makes my heart happy. We not dead in Louisiana. We are not a lost cause.

If you think im relentless with promotion just imagine what i was like as a child who wanted something

We are 1 bundletaker short of crossing over to 10k total. Just 1. You've got about one more hour to join us in this warm fuzzy embrace of dual promo communities and then it goes away forever COME ON IN -> revenuerulebreaker.com/bundle

I very rarely say "I'm a CEO" because it sounds insane when I'm the only one who works here but someone on Threads said I have 18-24 months after my CEO mentions AI 3x to get on board and I was like bitch watch this

It's the end of the bundle as we know it. The Business Underdog Bundle ends completely tonight at midnight ET (3 hours). If you want to be part of my network + Lucy Werner's Hype Yourself, this is your last call baby revenuerulebreaker.com/bundle

Tomorrow - should you give away your time for free? I talked to 11 entrepreneurs who use events to find clients. How exactly they do it (and whether you should too) Coming tomorrow: revenuerulebreaker.com/newsletter

I only want to talk about AI with other people who've built software before. People who know the players and the material we're dealing with. If you never worked in tech—meaning the creation of technology—I just don't think you have a clue about what we're actually up against here so

I haven't talked about this very much but I am launching "Ask the Legends" on Tuesday which is a monthlong ask-a-thon where you can ask Legends questions and they can share their expertise. I'll be highlighting Legends in my newsletter and what they said. Just another RAD PERK of being a Legend 🏆

Hey thanks for the stickers!

Monica Seggos just became a Legend! Join 200+ creative entrepreneurs building their businesses with a network of support.

19 to go!!!!!!!!!!!! If 3 more people join us we will hit a combined 10k in revenue for Lucy and my publications. A significant investment in small business media for entrepreneurs, with entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs

Nearly 40% of the people who participated in our bundle were already my paid subscribers. I am not building wide. I am building deep with them. It’s truly the most hopeful thing about this project that the same people keep showing up for each other and for me.

I have found Lex’s insights on digital marketing to be very valuable. If you are running a business online that’s media or content related consider subscribing if you’ve got the money!

20 more!!! Only 20 more to go!!!

A bunch of my neighbors like to sing in the morning. Multiple apartments around me. It’s very cute, very Beauty and the Beast. It’s also a lot to wake up to multiple songs going 😅

It's the LAST DAY of our Business Underdog Bundle. We are at 127. We need to get to 150. I wrote about what happens if Lucy and my projects go away forever. You think there's a ton of indie small business media to replace us? Check your tabs and tell me if you find more than five

We're pleased to announce that Aftermath can now offer group subscription deals for schools, studios, businesses, whatever! aftermath.site/aftermath-grou...

I didn’t sleep at all last night. My neighbors are noctural and they party all hours of the night. People going in and out slamming the door, talking, music. It’s awful.

The journalism institution we need will start as a collaboration. Just independent journalists teaming up to grow and earn together, while staying independent. That's what Trustfnd allows them to do. And people who use it love it. Look👇🏻🧵

“I've gained more new paying customers on Day 1 of our Bundle Pass than I normally do in a month.” — @lexroman.com, Revenue Rulebreaker

The 5 email sequences you need to earn more paying subscribers

I moved from beehiiv to Ghost. Here's how it went.

one thing i have achieved this month is getting at least 30 publishers to stop using the line "support independent journalism" cuz guys bad news, no one gives a fuck. If your message can be reused by NPR, scrap it. It's generic. It's tired. Give 'em something more real and urgent.

I taught a class last week where I tried to convince writers they could send more emails and they did not believe me so here's a data point. I sent 7 promo emails this week, sometimes 2 a day. I'm sending one more tomorrow. I lost about 50 readers and I gained 80 paid subscribers.

Dude Devil Wears Prada 2 hits hard. I’m going home to write tomorrow’s email about how my exboyfriend warned me Netflix was gonna kill TV production during Season 2 of Dexter and saved my whole career but man do I miss that era of TV making

Couple things people have been not clear on here 1) This is not a subscription. You are getting a rare one time purchase deal on what is normally a subscription 2) My existing paid subscribers can take this deal just for Lucy's pub (use your paid subscriber email in the bundle and it will discount)

We are only 23 entrepreneurs away from our goal of helping 150 small business owners get better promo. You can still get this bundle at 30% off until tonight. I wanted to share what Lucy wrote today about some of the wins her members have had www.revenuerulebreaker.com/email/69ecc7...

Can anyone explain why you would keep a beehiiv subdomain when custom domains are free in beehiiv? Custom domains cost like $12/year

Follow Danielle’s live updates from The Newsletter Conference over on Threads and stay tuned for her story on @revenuerulebreaker.com www.threads.com/@thedanielle...

I have this crazy idea that I can build a media company. The idea is this: bring together a group of small business owners, ask them to write stories, contribute to stories, discuss stories and inform stories. It's never gonna replace Forbes. It's not supposed to.

Seems like a lot of unproven trend chasing to me. I just hope people don’t get laid off variety.com/2026/digital...

Ok y'all. We are only 25 entrepreneurs away from hitting our 150 goal on this bundle. You can get 30% off my Revenue Rulebreaker and Lucy's Hype Yourself today only. Here's Lucy to tell you exactly why you should be part of this! revenuerulebreaker.com/bundle

Wondering what’s happening at The Newsletter Conference in NYC today? Danielle Desir Corbett is out there covering it for @revenuerulebreaker.com Follow her updates on Threads (thedaniellecorbett) and look out for her story soon!

One day I will write a book called "My life in promo emails" featuring my email marketing greatest hits through the years and it will make my grandparents proud

Amazon isn't going to help you find your audience. M.G. Herron walks us through how to grow a mailing list of book buyers from scratch. www.revenuerulebreaker.com/how-to-grow-...

it's super hard to be the only person doing all the work, promoting everything, executing everything, paying for everything. that's why I've started tapping into established communities and networks. lightens the load.

Having a hamburguesa to celebrate making it this far through the week 🤣

We've got about a week of stories under our belts at @weareravenous.com and I'm so proud of what we've done so far! A paid subscription gets you access to everything, and also lets you feel good about supporting worker-owned media. www.weareravenous.com

I don't think I'll ever run a 50% discount on my work again. Good for those of you who got it when it was available. The reality is I work my ass off introducing people, writing about them, promoting them and it's just pretty labor intensive how much I support my paid subscribers.

Publishers: we want it to be easier to grow and sell Ghost: we made it so you can code in the browser and break your theme as a fun activity

Running a reader-funded publication? Dig into the Paid Newsletter Playbook for fresh tactics on finding and keeping paid subscribers. paidnewsletterplaybook.com/

We are SO CLOSE to hitting this goal. If you're sick of being the only person to promote your business, you should join me and Lucy in this bundle and we will help get you out there. 30% off expires tomorrow night: revenuerulebreaker.com/bundle

We've unlocked a new perk that makes your paid subscription with me pay for itself: every subscriber gets 3 classified ads to promote their stuff. That's a cost of $23 per classified. I don't sell classifieds either. These are members only!

Don't think of me like you think of Netflix. It's not about paying for access to content. It's about investing in a new future for how we promote and foster small businesses. If you want to be part of that, join us in the Business Underdog Bundle www.revenuerulebreaker.com/email/51c97d...

Tyler Denk, CEO of beehiiv, endorsed MAGA candidate Spencer Pratt in the LA mayor race on Instagram. We knew this was coming. But it's not anything like what's happening at Substack. www.revenuerulebreaker.com/beehiivs-ceo...

"Bluesky doesn't send anyone traffic" as some kind of axiomatic media truth is simply wrong. Bluesky is Typebar Magazine's #1 social referral source and the others are not even close.

We are 28 entrepreneurs away from our goal of 150! You can still join Hype Yourself + Revenue Rulebreaker for 30% off through Friday night. This is a one time deal and it goes away Sunday. The bundle is gone forever. Why might you want to join us? revenuerulebreaker.com/bundle

I ditched Gumroad last year because their fees were getting way to high and their payouts were getting way too slow (7 day waiting? No thanks!) I made a video with Payhip about why I moved my digital product shop there. They're bootstrapped and profitable, based in London and a small, mighty team.
