Think Newsletters Are Dead? How This Guy Made 7 Figures—and You Can Too!

No Bollocks with Matt Haycox

In this episode of No Bollocks with Matt Haycox, we dive deep into the world of marketing with Marketing Max, a true expert in personal branding, email marketing, and newsletters. Max shares his journey from building a Facebook ads agency to creating a personal brand that has made him a powerhouse in the marketing world. If you’ve ever wondered about the power of newsletters or how to monetize your audience, this is the episode for you.

Max emphasises the immense value of niching down and personal branding, saying: "One of the secrets to becoming known as a business influencer is letting people pigeonhole you. People need to be able to say in one sentence who you are and what you do." He also shares how he’s made "well into seven figures from my newsletter and social channels", highlighting the importance of creating content that speaks directly to a core audience rather than trying to appeal to everyone. Max believes that "the power of newsletters is massively underestimated" and explains how focusing on consistent, valuable content can turn your audience into a profitable business.
