Today on The Rise To The Top: The #1 Non-Boring Business Show: I have a good feeling you are going to love this conversation with Noah Kagan. Why? In this super candid conversation, Noah tells us exactly how he created AppSumo in a weekend for $50. Now less than two years later it is a million dollar plus business with (ready for this one?) over 500,000 email subscribers that have opted in. In today’s chat, he talks about the idea, how he gets folks to opt in, marketing successes and failures, and everything inbetween. And we get naked. And Noah has a present for 3 members of RISE Nation at the end of the episode!
Also, make sure you stop by Noah’s blog! It focuses on the topics of marketing, entrepreneurship, and engagement with online communities. Check it out!
I use RISE partner Wistia for video hosting because they rock. Check ’em out.
