Deep dives
Overseas Marketing Opportunities
The podcast emphasizes the growing trend of overseas talent in the job market, particularly from regions like the Philippines, South America, and India. It highlights the emergence of job boards and agencies catering to remote workers, noting that many of these businesses have achieved significant financial success. There’s a clear opportunity to create a newsletter that serves as a resource for overseas marketers seeking jobs in Western markets, addressing their specific needs such as job alerts, marketing news, and educational content on advanced marketing tactics. Monetization can be achieved by charging for job postings, targeted email blasts to businesses seeking talent, and selling courses to help these marketers improve their skills.
Educational Newsletters for Specific Platforms
The discussion also explores the potential for newsletters focused on educating users about specific platforms and software. An example provided is a music production newsletter dedicated to tools like Logic or Ableton, which would target individuals looking to improve their skills and knowledge in music production. Monetization avenues include affiliate marketing for plugins and courses, as well as potential partnerships with companies that offer related services or products. This model leverages existing user communities and can capitalize on individuals’ willingness to pay for specialized knowledge and resources.
Local Real Estate Investing Newsletters
Another innovative idea presented is the concept of starting local real estate investing newsletters targeting smaller cities with active real estate markets. These newsletters would provide curated listings of investment-worthy properties, along with essential financial details to assist investors. Monetization methods include partnerships with local real estate professionals and premium services that offer exclusive property listings or educational seminars. By gradually expanding this model to different cities, a robust network of newsletters can be established, tapping into a consistent stream of interest and revenue in real estate.
