Email is still the most powerful and profitable platform in the information economy.

This course lets you in on the playbook Codie Sanchez used to grow Contrarian Thinking to 550,000+ subscribers and 4 million social followers in 2 years.

In Build Your Newsletter Into a Business, we share all the tools you need to build wealth and influence through your own email newsletter. In this self-paced course, you’ll learn how to grow your email list using social platforms and collaboration – without spending a single dollar on advertising.

We’ll also cover how to stack revenue streams inside your newsletter to make it earn its keep. We provide templates and guides covering everything from hiring your team to planning your financial projections and revenue models.
