Ep.03 - On How to Grow a Subscriber List from 0 to 1 Million
In today’s episode I chat with Scott Keyes from Scott’s Cheap Flights. Now listen to this – Scott travelled around the world for free using miles that he got from signing up for a bunch of credit cards. Then, once that option was exhausted, he turned into finding error fares, deals and generally cheap flight tickets and got himself a return ticket from New York City to Milan and back for $130. Once his friends learned about it, they wanted to get those deals too, so he started sending out regular emails to a small group of friends, packed with the flight deals that he could find. Fast forward 3.5 years, his business Scott’s Cheap Flights has almost a million subscribers and 26 people in a team, that is spread all around the world, as they have no fixed office! It’s definitely an episode you should listen to, because besides hearing his personal story in the first part of the conversation, we also dig quite deep in: how did they get to this point they are now, what decisions have paid OFF, tips on growing your email list and a lot more interesting insights on growing a side-hustle to a full-time fast growing business. As always, if you liked this episode, I’d really appreciate a review on iTunes or Stitcher, that would be a great help for us to grow and keep bringing guests like Scott to the show. Thank you and happy listening! Music by ikson: https://soundcloud.com/ikson
