[Ben Teller @benteller]

This was the formula for The Blueprint.

www.readtheblueprint.conm

Phase 1: Newsletter (80% real estate agents, with a lot of data points)

Phase 2: Podcast targeting more of what our audience wants.

Phase 3: Digital product monetizing the audience

How to build the next @MorningBrew:

- Write for an underserved B2B vertical
- Focus on 1st party data -- Know everything about your subscribers
- Use @MeetApollo to enrich customer profiles
- Serve targeted ad campaigns at segments of your subscriber list for higher CPMs
- Use @beehiiv to send your newsletter and grow your audience
- Leverage @oceans_xyz talent for growth marketing, finance, and EA help

Couldn’t be more excited to announce that I’ve officially joined @smoothmedia_  as their Head of COO Services.

Excited to join @JKaplan1, @jrothenberg_ & @KinseyGrant in helping creators build next-gen media businesses!

[Josh Kaplan @JKaplan1]

Creators are businesses. And businesses need operators.

That’s been the thesis all along at @smoothmedia_

If anybody tells you it's easy to grow a newsletter, they're lying to you.

I reached out to a page I enjoy, @NipseyHoussle to promote my real estate NL https://t.co/aED6IeJeKV with his audience.

He said: "I appreciate the hustle but HBD is for the people."

Mad respect 🤝

Friends (and future friends) of Smooth!

@jrothenberg_ and I are hosting a happy hour this Wednesday in Santa Monica

Expect casual beers and less casual rants about niche media

One rule: you may only say FTX or Elon once during the evening.

DM for the details!

[Ben Teller @benteller]

Just got the 5 Tweet Tuesday by @ShaanVP and I must say it looks SUPER CLEAN. Was wondering what the difference was, but then saw they just switched to @beehiiv.

For me, when you subscribe to so many newsletters, it's the little things that make a big difference 🔥
