Stefan von Imhof discusses how he started a newsletter focused on micro SAS and websites in 2020 during a government-imposed lockdown.
The 60-40 portfolio is a popular stock and bond portfolio advice, but there are many tertiary niche strategies that are not well addressed in the mainstream.
It is challenging to keep writing every week or whatever your cadence is, but it's worth it if you can find a platform and community that "feels right."

Key Quotes:

“The key [to a successful newsletter] is to grow, but not just grow for the sake of vanity metrics grow real solid subscribers.” - Stefan von Imhof

“With some alternative markets, for the most part…they're just completely separate from anything related to the markets, right? And this is why alternatives are such a great option… It offers that true diversity, and it offers the true way to truly buy assets that are uncorrelated. Not to mention the other big reason, which is that, traditionally, alternatives, the returns have been fantastic.” - Stefan von Imhof
