Get 30 proven strategies to grow and optimize your email list FREE >>

"I didn’t have a goal—I just committed to showing up every day for 100 days." — Anne-Laure Le Cunff, Ness Labs

After publishing 100 articles in 100 days, Anne-Laure drove 6,000 subscribers to her Maker Mind newsletter.

It was the tiny experiment that kickstarted her newsletter journey.

But it was just the beginning.

Today, her Maker Mind newsletter reaches over 100k subscribers' inboxes, and her Ness Labs community brings in over 6 figures in revenue every year. But what's even more impressive is that she's accomplished this while completing her PhD in neuroscience and publishing a book, Tiny Experiments.

Chenell & Dylan sit down with Anne-Laure to discuss everything from how she got her first 6,000 subscribers to growing and monetizing a newsletter to six figures.
