Loved the advice from your video on increasing social media followers.

Would you recommend a similar tactic for say, growing an email newsletter? Posting something new everyday sounds like a giant task, but I’d be curious if you have any tactics that have worked as you grown The Manual?

Very different tactic for a newsletter. I try and push people from my other social channels to my newsletter. I also only post my newsletter once a month to keep the quality high.

Fantastic, thanks for the response and advice, Oliur. How often would you say post on social media about the newsletter specifically? Or is it a more organic thing you add on to other things you share?

I push it quite a lot on my finance channel, I mention it at the beginning of videos. But other than that I barely push it elsewhere. Which I should change really.

Thanks for the insights man. I think YouTube is the next step I need to start exploring.

Appreciate the comments on Gumroad to Payhip, I noticed you'd switched and figured it'd be the pricing. I was also comparing a lot of services like these and Payhip won feature wise/cost vs them all despite not being very well known.

The only downside I've found is no ability to do custom CSS so you kinda have to pick a theme and then manipulate your own website to match it (if you want to fully integrate the store that is)

There is custom CSS. I've actually applied some of my own CSS. But yes, overall theme configuration is pretty limiting. I wish it was more like Shopify.

Glad to hear the video course is on track!
