I'm Toby Howell, I helped write the Morning Brew newsletter for 1.5 years and grew Launch House’s newsletter to 15k in under 5 months

I’m the content lead for launch house and the author of Homescreen a newsletter read by 15k founders covering the startup and tech ecosystem.

Ask me anything about Twitter and newsletter growth strategies, content creation, drops, and community building. I’ll be answering all questions on August 17th!

I am a huge fan of morning brew, robinhood and launch house newsletters.

Many say that the opening / 1st sentence is most important.

Do you agree? What are your top tips for writing that opening section (of anything practically)?

Could you recommend books for beginners in writing? Maybe something specific for SaaS founders or tech founders and about long-form posts.

Thanks for the session, this is a very important topic. 🙏 I do more of the technical part, but I would be interested to read this discussion.

Huge fan of the Morning Brew - the newsletter is just so inspiring. Thanks for all you work!

The only question I have - how do you get to be so cool? Anything you would recommend beginners who want to write better?

Hey Toby! Curious to get a sneak peek of your content calendar.

Want to know how do you define your brand language and what's the best way to transmit it to other verticals of the startup to maintain consistency?

I really enjoy all your content, Toby. For how long have you been working on your Twitter growth? Given your experiences, you probably get a lot of DMs from those wanting to learn from you/pick your brain, what do you usually do?

Hey Toby! Curious to know what some of your favorite tools are when it comes to growing and engaging online communities?
Working on a NFT platform.

Hi Toby, thanks for doing this. I'm currently helping grow a movie NFT project (movieshots.io).

The NFT space is full of sketchy figures and it isn't easy to establish a brand without a huge budget and big influencers. Do you have an idea how to grab the attention of the NFT crowd?

Thankful for any kind of pointer! :) Have a great day.

Hi! Our company is having problems delivering specifically to Yahoo/AOL addresses. We have a separate IP for marketing and account servicing, but even the servicing one keeps getting caught for password reset emails. Sender reputation score doesn't seem to be the issue, and we have no problems delivering to Google. Is there something special we have to do for Yahoo deliverability?

Hi Toby. I had an office in WeWork next to Morning Brew back in 2019 and saw the meteoric rise of your startup. Question. Did your company sponsor the lunch meals every day or it was tied to some kind of KPI goals or occasions?

What are the best strategies for professional brands getting into TikTok? Something I love about 60 second startup is the scrappiness question. What advice do you have for content creators that want to incorporate scrappiness into their tik toks, but may be restricted by brand voice among other social channels?
I'll be taking notes! Can you talk about emerging platforms and how to decide when/how to jump in? BeReal, Geneva, etc etc... soooo many to keep up with
