Hey šŸ‘‹
Iā€™m Sam and welcome to my once-a-month newsletter. Each month I share the latest digital products, fascinating articles and resources from some of the best new and established online creatives.
Whatā€™s new
Firstly, a huge shout out to everyone that complete last months ā€˜Get to know youā€™ form. If you didnā€™t get the opportunity click here. I want to take this opportunity to learn more about you, and what simulates and drives that curious mind of yours so I can provide you with more value each month.
Last month I made some much-needed design tweaks to my personal site and managed to get a piece of content out - not bad for a January.
This month, Iā€™m working on something big (well, to me) which I will share in next months newsletter. If you fancy a sneak peek then click here šŸ‘©šŸ½ā€šŸŽ¤ p.s please donā€™t share yet!

Is this one of the most unique landing pages?
I havenā€™t felt the urge to talk so much about a products landing page since Superhuman or Pitch, until now. In this post I discuss a unique approach from new consumer-based mobile and desktop app called Clay. You wont be disappointed.

Iā€™ve seen a few OS Notion products cropping up lately, but the most successful one has to be the ā€œNewsletter OSā€ created by Janel. She reported having made over $30K in just a few weeks. Pat Walls discusses how this OS concept can be applied to a number of topics & industries using just Notion and Gumroad to take payment.
For a list of Notion OS products check out Luc Meijerā€™s tweet thread.

I just discovered Julian Lehrā€™s blog and itā€™s incredible. In this post, Julian discussed that social networks at their core are primarily about one thing: Building social capital through signalling. He highlights a number of somewhat subliminal signalling clues from popular apps I never considered before. I love his example of the Patagonia vest šŸ‘Œ

Startups are hard, bootstrapping is harder! Hereā€™s how Jon Yongfook bootstrapped his product to $10k MRR over the course of 2 years after attempting the 12 startups in 12 months challenge with little success.
A great takeaway from shipping 12 products in 12 months - ā€œLearning to ship consistently is a good muscle to exerciseā€.

Must watch for anyone creating or involved in the creation of products.

šŸ¦ Tweet of the month
Iā€™m not one to idolise billionaires purely for their wealth status but I do find it fascinating how they achieved their vast wealth. Greg Isenberg shared some great lessons in a thread. My favourite:
You canā€™t build great products without being ā€œat oneā€ with the niche youā€™re building it for. Itā€™s almost impossible. Deeply understand your niche or expect disappointments.

I interviewed 5 billionaires this week

I asked them to share their lessons learned on startups, life and entrepreneurship:

Here's what they told me:
āš”ļø Flashback
Iā€™ll leave you with this 1977 video titled ā€˜Powers Of Tenā€™ where you will begin an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by a lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports you to the outer edges of the universe and back. Pretty mind-blowing footage.
