Newsletters are hot right now and as of list week, with the launch of Free Smoke, James, Oren, and Colin are all building email lists in different niches. Selfishly, they had to bring Jack Raines of Young Money onto the pod to talk all things writing, building email lists, and developing relationships for distribution. Jack and YMCMB are on a remarkable trajectory right now so he’s the perfect guest for an inaugural email list deep dive on this topic.

In this post you’ll hear about:

Getting started building a newsletter

Metrics to keep an eye on

Leveraging relationships

When to monetize

Pandering to T. Ferriss the god

As the only truly owned channel for a creator, email isn’t going anywhere and you’ll hear the guys talking about it for years to come.
