Austin is speaking truth here. Very relevant to create a sustainable paid newsletter. By charging for a newsletter you are monetizing your expertise, not anything else.https://twitter.com/austin_rief/status/1259512219311669248 …

That’s not the point here.
@austin_rief isn’t saying only the best should do paid. He’s saying that - if you’re not the best - you shouldn’t *only* produce a paid newsletter. You need free content etc too. Nothing controversial there IMO.
I just think this is a stupid gate keeping rule. I try my hardest (I fail often) to not make these huge sweeping rules. There are thousands of ways to succeed and achieve a goal.

I understand your perspective. Most people will fail at sustaining a paid newsletter. This is inevitable considering how many will get in it for the money. Aspiring to be the best in the world is good advice, regardless. But maybe you disagree

Most will fail regardless.

And if it matters I do not think Austin is stupid. Opposite. Very smart. Cool guy too.I just think this point is dumb. And I don’t want people to see this and be persuaded not to do something. People do (and in many cases should) follow his advice. But I think this is bad advice

Appreciate that Sam. Perhaps “best in the world” is too aggressive. My point is simply everyone is following the herd and creating paid newsletters. The problem is, the vast majority of these people aren’t that good. Their content is good, but not good enough to pay 100/year

Fair. I read it as less a “gate keeping rule” and more a friendly piece of advice not to neglect free content and other forms of monetisation when you’re still in the early stages.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
