Welcome back to another episode of the Send & Grow podcast. This week, SparkLoop cofounder Louis Nicholls sits down with Matt Brown of Extra Points, a paid newsletter for the college sports industry.
Matt was laid off from working at Vox during the pandemic. He started the Extra Points newsletter as a business experiment. And it's paid off. With 16k subscribers, including 3k paid, Matt's leveraged his experience, business savvy, and network to build & sell a newsletter in under 3 years. After selling to D1 Ticker, Matt's remained as head publishing for Extra Points.
In this episode, Louis & Matt discuss…
- Starting a newsletter as a business
- Matt's philosophy for free vs. paid content
- How to leverage earned media for growth
- Using a video game as a lead magnet for paid subscriptions
- ...and much more!
