Start part-time, around the job you have now.
Basic tech skills are enough, and AI helps you write.
Several ways to get paid, with room to grow into more towns.
Drew's Pottstown newsletter reached 1,000 subscribers in its first week. Members have grown theirs to 8,000 and nearly 20,000.
We're David and Drew. We ran an agency for years, then started featuring local businesses instead of pitching them.

I've just joined the paid membership because I got so much from the free membership. Dave and Drew really know what they are talking about and actually do what they teach. The community is also incredibly helpful. I value my time and don't want to fall into the trap of searching the internet, YouTube and social media for knowledge and advice that may or may not prove helpful. I want tried and proven resources that help me grow my business. I highly recommend you join!

The training and support materials that Dave & Drew have put together are just amazing. They not only walk their talk but are also open and honest about what's working and what doesn't. Following their training, I was able to get my first newsletter off the ground in a few days and have since launched multiple local newsletters for the surrounding towns. The community is full of people willing to openly share what we're doing and learn from each other.

I love this community - Drew and Dave provide so much free training and tips on building a local newsletter. And if you really want to streamline the work join the roundtable and try out their software. You don't have to go looking anywhere else they provide everything you will need to succeed. It is hard to not succeed with what all they offer.

This is the very best of the newsletter communities out here in Skool. Amazing information and real hands on support. Dave & Drew are the real deal and continue to innovate and inspire agency owners to get their newsletters out and built up. The best investment I’ve made in my business in the past three years.

One of the highest quality, low fluff groups I've been a member of. These guys know their stuff when it comes to both local newsletters and digital marketing and they provide a ton of really practical value. Joining has legitimately changed the course of my business (and met some great people along the way).
