šŸ’”Subreddits + New Ideas

have a great rest of the weekend!

In partnership with

šŸ’”Hey there!

Hope youā€™re having a cooler weekend than me, in terms of weather. Vegas is set to have itā€™s warmest temps ever and it was 100F at 10:30pm last night.

So, fuck that.

I donā€™t normally do extra weekend emails, but Iā€™ve come across some interesting stuff that I wanna share.

Also, I got some questions after my last email asking about the Newsletter Guy course. No, I didnā€™t take the course. Yes, I did have people messaging me complaining about it being basic and that the expectations it set were not realistic. I donā€™t know the guy or whatā€™s in the course, so all I can do is sympathize with you on spending money on something that wasnā€™t worth it.

And, ThriveCart is running a sale through July 8th that youā€™ll wanna jump on if youā€™re selling digital products on your own. Code JULY4PRO saves you $50 on Pro.

Owning Subreddits

In recent months, I know that people have been all over Reddit, with some people even making their own subreddits.

This is something that Iā€™ve done for years but I never really thought about how valuable they are when you want to sell the main asset (website, newsletter, etc.).

Anyways, Iā€™m in this Skool community called Digital Asset Marketplace where people are selling a variety of digital assets - not just websites.

Itā€™s a really interesting group so far just in terms of seeing what people are building up and selling.

But thereā€™s one that caught my eye this week and I just wish I had the time to take on a new project.

Itā€™s a personal finance newsletter that comes with a digital product on Gumroad AND a matching subreddit. And it is a GREAT subreddit.

As someone who has been building and flipping websites for what seems like most of my adult life, this really got the ole wheels turning.

For starters, you can just focus on building up new subreddits and then flip those puppies to people already in those niches with websites, newsletters, and other digital assets.

I also really like the idea of the newsletter + subreddit asset package.

The more I thought about this, I realized that you could also include Facebook pages, groups and other communities - at least in niches where that works.

While I hate that ā€œeasy modeā€ is no longer available in terms of build a niche site and flip it for 40x, I do like expanding my horizons with all these exciting new models.

Need Some Ideas?

I donā€™t know about you, but I have a list on my phone (in Evernote) titled ā€œbiz ideasā€ that I add to whenever something interesting pops into my head.

So, while I donā€™t need any new ideas, I stumbled across a Youtube channel by a guy who runs this Startup Ideas Podcast and itā€™s pretty awesome.

Listening to these episodes gives me ideas on how I can level up some of the ideas that I already have.

If youā€™re in need of some new ideas, I highly recommend it. Or, if you just want to hear some people brainstorming ideas to help you with your own ideas, I think itā€™s a good place to start.

And if youā€™re in the newsletters niche, then I suggest you check out Duuce to see newsletters that are for sale and that have already sold.

Itā€™s also good for brainstorming and expanding on what youā€™re already doing.

Next Timeā€¦

First, just a reminder that Iā€™m giving away the Beehiiv ads money this newsletter earns. Each newsletter where you click on the ad = one entry for the monies. And that has to be within 72 hours of the email hitting your inbox.

If you have a topic you want covered just reply and let me know.

Stay awesome,

Shawna

P.S. ConvertKit has a free newsletter plan now for up to 10,000 subscribers, while Beehiiv only gives you 2,500 subs for free. Something to think about if you wanna test the newsletter waters.
