Today's newsletter was inspired by a note I got yesterday that read "can I ask you for 20 mins?" Subject line: No, you can't pick my brain www.revenuerulebreaker.com/email/0ae058...

Want to know how to ask your readers for money? Take some inspiration from our Back Indie Media Drive. Check out what Kineticist publisher @alsheimer.me put out yesterday twip.kineticist.com/p/so-i-guess...
