Get the 90-day roadmap to a $10k/month newsletter
Creators and founders like you are being told to “build a personal brand” to generate revenue but…
1/ You can be shadowbanned overnight
2/ Only 10% of your followers see your posts
Meanwhile, you can write 1 email that books dozens of sales calls and sells high-ticket ($1,000+ digital products).
After working with 50+ entrepreneurs doing $1M/yr+ with newsletters, we made a 5-day email course on building a profitable newsletter that sells ads, products, and services.
Normally $97, it’s 100% free for 24H.
🎉 This Weekend in Hanover
Happy New Years! I hope you enjoy your pork & sauerkraut today… and if you’re not eating any, just know I’m silently judging you.
This is a softer weekend. The kind meant for slow mornings, leftovers that still taste good, and one last exhale before routines kick back in for 2026. No pressure to do it all. Just pick one thing and enjoy it.
A sincere thank-you to this week’s The Feed Media, Google AdSense, and Money.com sponsors. Clicking their links helps keep Heart of Hanover alive and very much kicking.
