In this episode of Noah Kagan Presents, we conclude our two-part series with copywriting extraordinaire, Neville Medhora.
In part one, Neville shared how he built his 6-figure copywriting business — and he dropped a ton of epic knowledge on the exact strategies you can use to grow your own business.
In part two, we dive deeper into Neville’s journey of growing a 6-figure business. Most entrepreneurs and business owners share just the tactics, but we wanted to share more.
You’ll hear as we get ultra-vulnerable with stories about ex-girlfriends (and the impact one terrible girlfriend had on Neville’s business), misconceptions about startups, and surviving the ups-and-downs of a friendship.

Hey Noah, GREAT podcast, but before I even finish it I want to tell you that YES, your OK dork blog has sold some product for you.
If it wasn’t for your free tutorials on OKdork I would have never got the Appsumo monthly 1k course!
Cheers,
Eric

One thing I’ve noticed about the crazy girlfriends was that it was some of the best sex I’ve had.
I’m Definitely a PC person. Cheers!
great stuff Noah! You and Neville are the best!
I also love talking funny!!! I thought the same thing, it was brilliant 😀
You have been writing okdork for 17 years and haven’t made any money?
I agree with YouTube being such a huge asset!
I think about this with online learning all the time! So: Concrete deadlines, social pressure and financial pressure
Interesting insights on the accreditations. Like Seth Godin’s Alt MBA.
Where did he hire his accountability coach? I know Noah has uses accountability partners for different aspects of his life as he discussed on the Tim Ferriss show.
Create community first and/or join community. “Would you do it for free for the next 5 years.”
App sumo – 4 years until 6 figures
What about how to write a pitch email?
I am a PC person… lol I actually bought a mac after you were on the TF show and were like “does anyone not use Mac….” but haven’t gotten around to using it in the last 2 years.
Thank you for the conversation! ?????????????????????????????????????
Those ‘?’s are tacos emojis that didn’t translate.. lol

neville, great analysis on classroom experience. leveraging on those trigger points while getting creative with in-person opportunities to coordinate and feed their sensory experiences with a purpose.
