Hey there 👋,
In this week’s newsletter I discuss:
Using Google’s updated chatbot Bard to curate newsletters
How to sell using a google doc (rather than a sales page)
Attention as an asset class plus newsletter operators needed
🚀 Bard Curates The News
Google has just launched a smarter Bard AI chatbot, and it’s already super helpful if you have a curated news type newsletter.
Just visit bard.google.com and ask it for the top news in your industry over the last week. It’s able to do a good job with NFT stories:
I don't know where on the web it's pulling this from (whether each story is from one source or an AI rewrite of multiple sources), but Bard sure can write a decent NFT daily digest newsletter for you!

And you can even ask it to tell you where it sourced the stories from:
It works very well with investing stories too, and so I predict a whole new wave of investing newsletters coming to beehiiv:

📈 The Newsletter Platform Built for Growth
I’ve tried almost every newsletter platform, from Drip to ConvertKit to Substack (running 6 newsletters there at one point) to now beehiiv.
beehiiv was founded by some of the earliest employees of the Morning Brew, so they know what it takes to grow a newsletter from zero to millions.
You get built-in referral functionality, true customization, analytics where you can see the results of paid acquisition and now built-in paid recommendations - a new traffic channel to grow your subscriber base, and a new way to monetize your newsletter.
🔥 Selling $20M Through Google Docs
This tweet by Scott Oldford, founder of The Wisdom Group, got my attention:
Tomorrow I’m sending this out…
I've generated well over $20M from Google Doc Sale Pages...
And just did a quick 20 minute video showing how (with examples)...
If you want it... 👇👇

Scott has sold over $20M through google docs to warm traffic that already knew about and trusted him. This is an alternative to creating a polished sales page for cold traffic.
Part of The Wisdom Group is Wisdom Media which has already acquired 10+ newsletters and plans to own 50 within the next year. You can listen to Scott talk about why he thinks attention is an incredible asset class in an interview on Strategic Profits.
Scott is also hiring newsletter operators right now:
I'm currently hiring two people:
#1. Sales @ Wisdom Media: Helping to sell sponsorships inside of our collection of newsletters.#2. Newsletter Operator @ Wisdom Media: Helping build and grow a sub-set portfolio of newsletters. DM's open. RT's welcomed.
