    Growth Lessons #8 - How Harry Dry taught himself marketing and got over 50,000 newsletter subscribers.

    Harry Dry dropped out of university and has no formal marketing training. 

    He told us that “originality is overrated” which was surprising as one of his earlier projects was Yeezy.Dating, a dating app exclusively for Kanye West fans, which went viral and made news headlines around the world.

    With his latest project, marketingexamples.com, he has secured a corporate sponsor and amassed over 58,000 subscribers to his marketing tips newsletter.

    Find out how he pulled this off, his top tips for content creation, and which is the best font for newsletters, in this lively and inspiring AMA.

    Growth Lessons #5 - How Mike Rubini builds and runs multiple profitable tech startups as a solo founder.

    Growth Lessons #5 - How Mike Rubini builds and runs multiple profitable tech startups as a solo founder.

    Ever been told you need to stop experimenting, pick one idea and focus on it? I get told this every week.

    Mike Rubini is fascinating. He does the exact opposite. He doesn't want one big business, he wants (and has) lots of small profitable businesses.

    His main priority is simple: earn enough to allow him to play jazz whenever he wants. To achieve this he has gone from running an agency to becoming serial solo founder who focuses on building and running profitable SaaS (software-as-a-service) products.

    He currently has five profitable products active, and several more he's shut down or sold.

    Growth Lessons #4 - How Andrew Davison built a $7k-a-month agency in 18-months.

    Growth Lessons #4 - How Andrew Davison built a $7k-a-month agency in 18-months.

    In this episode I talked to Andrew Davison who has an interesting story of finding a lucrative niche as a freelancer and then building upon that by starting a Zapier agency.

    For those of you who don't know what Zapier is, it's an automation tool which allows you to plug together various other commonly used tools and automate repetitive tasks. For example, you could have it create Trello cards every time you get a new email, create and send invoices every time a customer job is marked complete, or notify you by text when you make a new sale.

    Zapier calls itself the glue of the internet. Andrew is known in many circles as "the Zapier expert". We discuss how he became synonymous with a niche and how he's leveraging this to make a successful business. I hope you enjoy it.
