Ask me a question!
Hello! Longtime readers of this newsletter know that I regularly like to turn the table and take writing prompts from you, the audience. Basically, you can add your questions to this article, and I’ll try my best to answer as many as humanly possible.
Obviously, my main expertise is on media and the Creator Economy, but I’m also happy to take a stab at questions on other topics.
So use this handy little button below and ask away!

…that’s the number of words I published across 11 newsletter issues in July. I also produced four podcast episodes totaling 172 minutes of audio/video. That content was packed with insights that hopefully will help you in building your own content business.
I rely mostly on subscription revenue to sustain my business, so please consider becoming a paid subscriber. By becoming a paid subscriber, you not only get a half-hour introductory call with me, but also access to subscriber-only interviews with the world’s most successful media entrepreneurs (Example 1, Example 2, Example 3)

I would like to know your thoughts on the current race to the bottom for working with advertisers who want the lowest CPM possible. So many are saying they will only pay on clicks or conversions. Problem is most newsletter publications are built to deliver the value in the newsletter. not to take the user out of the newsletter. Would you agree..."The tail is wagging the dog" or that they are using these newsletters to "ride the buss for free?"
