Developer and journalist Owen Williams talks about building Charged, his popular tech news newsletter.
Shows Notes:
Developer and journalist Owen Williams started his popular newsletter Charged because he was worried about the demise of Twitter and a longing to have a platform he owned.
"If I found myself needing a job, I could email the list with a nice message about emailing back and I think people would do that."
Highlights include: how creating a well-received newsletter can be a career changer, the best way to monetize a newsletter, whether your side project has to make money and how to build a paid product on top of a free one.
