Pretty cool. Out of curiosity.... 1. What was your revenue before Business Insider acquired you? 2. How much do you guys spend a month on paid ads? According to SpyFu, nearly $50k/month. Is that accurate? 3. What's your churn rate? 4. What are you open rates and click-through rates? 5. What's your MoM growth rate of new paying subscribers? 6. What's the profit after overhead costs? 7. How many employees does Morning Brew have? 8. What's the breakdown of your revenue streams? 9. What's the average LTV per subscriber? 10. How much are you spending a month on your 20-something Meta ads currently running? https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?

Wow, from 'silly little newsletter' to a quarter billion in revenue? That's insane, Morning Brew! 🎉 What's the next move? Expanding into a deeper focus on building a comedy empire, or doubling down on content? 😉

Not bad for a silly little newsletter. Something I’m striving for with my silly newsletter Hospice Pass and using you as the example to follow. Keep going.
