It’s Q&A Friday! In this episode, Nathan is joined by fellow ConvertKit team member Miguel Pou. They discuss newsletters, skills every creator should have, the pros and cons of building in public, and more!

Miguel also talks about his career journey and experiences as a support engineer at ConvertKit.

Today’s Questions

• What are your thoughts on newsletters and their recent resurgence in popularity?
• What soft skills or technical skills do you think would be most beneficial for the average creator to learn?
• How should a designer approach getting customers at scale when they have successful productized services in place, and are experimenting with selling products?
• How do you prevent burnout as a creator when you work full-time and create on the side?
• You seem to be a big proponent of building in public. Should all creators use this strategy? What are the biggest benefits?
• Why would someone pay me money at an early stage when they don’t know what I’m doing yet? Is there a rational reason someone would be an early customer?
