Go to beehiiv.com/chris and use code chris30 to get 30% off your first three monthsI sat down with Sam Thompson again and we talked about how anyone could shamelessly copy the strategy behind Cluely, the $120 million AI company that blew up in just three months. We broke down their viral content machine, how they hired 700+ clippers, and why they only pay per view, not per video. Then we talked about how to spin this strategy into your own clipping farm or media agency, even if you're starting from scratch. We also riffed on business ideas using public records of new LLC registrations, and how to turn that into a high-margin lead gen or service business. Finally, we talked about AI's limits, what's still very human, and why action always beats overthinking.

You have thousands of prospects coming to your website daily, yet 80% of them don't even sign up for your newsletter. What can you do to turn this around?My guest, Dan Novaes, the founder and CEO of Mode Mobile, is here to tell you how in this quick chat. His advice will make your prospects give away their emails as soon as they click on your website.Meet Dan NovaesDan Novaes is the CEO of Mode Mobile and creator of the EarnPhone. Mode Mobile is revolutionizing the mobile industry with its “Earn As You Go” software, enabling millions of users to turn daily smartphone habits into passive income.Under Dan's leadership, Mode Mobile achieved 32,481% revenue growth (2019–2022), earned the #1 spot in software on Deloitte's2023 Technology Fast 500 List, and pioneered a fundraising model leveraging 30,000+ everyday investors. Now, they're on a mission to reach1 million shareholders while tackling a $1 trillion market opportunity.Turning Around Investor Page TroublesEven though his company's landing page was doing well, he saw that his investor page was struggling to retain prospects. Dan provides the steps he and his team took to make the changes.Knowing that he doesn't really know what's going on in a prospect's world when they're looking at the page, he decided it would be best to send reminders to entice their return. He also found that offering an incentive for returning entices prospects even more.Dan achieved a 600% return by applying this method to his marketing efforts. He spent $ 15,000 to start the efforts, and in a short period, he ended up with a $ 750,000 return.The Most Important ComponentsWhile conducting the marketing research, he discovered that certain components were most effective in achieving his goals.One was targeting the older demographics aged 55 and above. He found that boomers were more receptive than the younger generation. He also found that it is important to put a name to the face within the email. The last component Dan shares is how truly important copywriting is, even in this AI-driven world we live in today. “People don't invest enough in copywriting. The message has to hit just right. You don't want to just have AI write generate copy.” - Dan Novaes. ResourcesWant to learn more about Dan?

Tyler shared how small niche newsletters are making serious revenue by focusing on community and creative monetization like design cohorts, recruiting, and smart sponsorships. We talked about growth strategies like Beehiiv Boost, co-registration, and why acquiring the right subscribers matters more than just getting them cheap.

Today's show: Jason, Lon, and Alex break down a loaded week in tech: Apple's 27% App Store “link-out” fee gets shut down by a judge—unlocking margin for startups and slashing CAC; AI bots on Reddit's r/ChangeMyView are now 6x more effective than humans at changing minds, signaling a seismic shift in online discourse; and Beehiiv CEO Tyler Denk joins to discuss building in public, rapid product iteration, and the irony of being critiqued like a market leader for innovating too fast. The big takeaway? AI is evolving fast, gatekeepers are falling, and founders who build through chaos are best positioned to win.Timestamps:(0:00) Episode Teaser(1:20) Introduction and venture capital power law(4:14) Economic data and labor market trends(8:19) Mimicking trades and Dub's Series A funding(10:05) Kyte - TWIST Listeners: Go to https://kyte.com/ and download the Kyte app today.

In this episode, Kyle Scott discusses the current state of newsletters, responding to Sam Parr's claims that the medium is dead and saturated. He argues that while some areas may be competitive, there are still ample opportunities in niche markets and local newsletters. He compares the newsletter space to blogging and podcasting and how those platforms took decades to reach normal people. He concludes by encouraging listeners to think about newsletters as owned audience, and not just a single format, comparing Beehiiv to Shopify.Sam's posts:https://x.com/thesamparr/status/1866565501012545597https://x.com/thesamparr/status/1761433621447979122Chapters00:00 The State of Newsletters: Are They Really Dead?02:27 Understanding Market Saturation in Newsletters13:41 Opportunities in Niche Newsletters22:14 The Future of Newsletters and Owned AudiencesSubscribe to the Monetize Media newsletterFollow Kyle on X (@KyleScottL)Kyle's brandsAccessGMT.comWalkingTheBoards.comTip.NewsOnPattison.com
