No one can take that away from you, right? You do not own your YouTube audience. You do not own your Facebook audience or any of these platforms, and they can, and many times have taken it away from you”. SingalA winning strategy for your newsletter content.“You may not even know we’re in the middle of promoting or getting you revved up for a launch we’re doing, we’re doing it through tremendous values. So I call it the hybrid model, where you’re not saying, ‘today, am I doing content’ or am ‘I doing a pitch email’, I actually love doing a hybrid." SingalPLUS, What To Do If You’re Starting Out Right Now.
