Summary
Reports of email's death are greatly exaggerated.
Andrew Allemann has gone from zero to up to $10,000 a month in just 3 years with a low overhead side hustle:
An email newsletter and an online directory that helps connect podcasters with guests.
Finding it difficult to find guests for his own podcast, he wanted to create a solution that would not only help himself, but the greater podcasting community as well.
It’s a business model I’m excited about right now, and Andrew is proof that if you provide value through email, people are willing to pay for it.
Tune in to hear why Andrew decided to start a newsletter and an online directory, how he’s grown his audience to more than 19,000 subscribers and 500 paying directory members in 3 years, and how he’s turned this into a profitable business.
