šŸƒ The High Stakes Newsletter Game

Play At The 6, 7 & 9-Figure Level

In partnership with

šŸ‘‹ Welcome

Last Monday was the Labor Day holiday in the U.S., and even though this newsletter is a labor of love it's still labor so we took a week off after 26 weeks of publishing.

We're back this week with a look at playing the newsletter game at a high level. That includes a look at U.S. digital ad spending that continues to grow, as well as the latest in newsletter platform enhancements and tactics. For inspiration, the profiles of 3 newsletter operators who have leveraged their newsletters to create 6, 7 and 9-figure assets are featured.

I'm pleased to welcome returning sponsor 1440 back and thank them for their support in keeping this newsletter free. 1440 publishes fact-driven news for the intellectually curious every day on topics such as culture, business, politics, science and sports. 3.8 million subscribers can't be wrong!
