    Product Bundle Campaigns: How to Grow Your List the Remarkably Easy Way

    Collaborating on a Product BundleHave you ever seen a deal where for one low price, you can get dozens of courses, books, and master classes? That's called a product bundle. Product bundles can be great email list-building experiences.
    This week, learn how you can collaborate with other industry experts or creators to put together and sell a product bundle. Shelley explores the benefits, costs, and results of her recent participation in the Infostack Content Creator Super Stack Black Friday campaign.
    Key InsightThe number one thing that's working is email, talking old school, it still works. Hang in there, do your emails. Jen told us how she grew her email list selling all of those courses through AppSumo. That’s a great way to grow your email list.

    Software Review: SupapassSupapass content business website builder for non-technical entrepreneurs.
    Our Take: Supapass allows you to keep 100% of your money, making it a decent alternative to Patreon. However, its pricing is steep for the beginner/bootstrapping podcaster unless you're getting it on AppSumo.
