064: Sahil Bloom - How To Unlock Growth as a Creator

064: Sahil Bloom - How To Unlock Growth as a Creator

Author: Nathan Barry: Author, Designer, Marketer March 14, 2022 Duration: 1:02:25

In this episode I talk to Sahil Bloom. This is Sahil’s second time on the show. He’s doubled his audience from an already large number since then, and he’s now a full-time creator.

Sahil is someone I’d love to have on the show every six months or every year. He’s putting out incredible content. I’ve probably learned more from Sahil in the last few months than I have from any other person.

We talk about Twitter growth, monetization, growing a podcast, and newsletters. I also try to sell him on switching to ConvertKit. You can be the judge of how well I did to convince him.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Two game-changing habits that can lead to big results
  • How Sahil categorizes his content for more engagement
  • Sahil’s strategies for growing a new podcast
  • How Sahil monetizes his newsletter
