I Have BIG NEWS To Share With You
10 months ago, I asked Charles Miller if he wanted to join the team at Copyblogger.
Charles and I had built a working relationship in the past, and I was always impressed with his attention to detail and his ability to execute.
He’s the man.
Bringing Charles In To Manage The Academy
I’m a sales guy. I am always “onto the next one.” As such, seeing big projects through from beginning to end has long been a struggle for me. I excel in the churn and burn type areas of business. I’ve learned long ago to lean into my strengths and to find partners to handle the more organizational tasks.
When I built Copyblogger up to the point where I needed help, I knew Charles was a perfect fit. It took me years to get Copyblogger to a point where it was generating good revenue, and so bringing in a partner to increase sales and level up the product was a natural next choice.
Not surprisingly, Charles has more than delivered.
In large part thanks to Charles, Copyblogger is now doing about $50,000 a month in revenue. Copyblogger Academy is making sales every day and we have a 4.91 star average with over 1500 students.
It’s a great accomplishment for both Charles and I.
But we’re not done.
Charles Is Now A Full Partner
Greatness is in the agency of others. Charles is a great entrepreneur and his skillset is very complimentary to mine.
For this reason, I invited Charles to become an equity partner in Copyblogger Media, and I’m thrilled to say that he accepted the offer.
What does this mean?
Charles sent out the announcement email. Below is a copy and paste directly from Charles, so you can hear it from him.
10 months ago, Tim Stoddart asked me if I wanted to partner with him on Copyblogger Academy. I should've screamed "YES" right away, but I took a week to think about it. Then I accepted.
Last week, he asked me if I wanted to be a full partner of Copyblogger. That means owning a nice chunk of the entire business, not just our community and personal brand coaching program.
This time, I said yes immediately. We're getting the paperwork done right now, and it should be official by the end of the week. I'm no longer just a guest writing emails to you. Now I'm one of the hosts.
It feels great, and I'm excited to help all of you build your content businesses bigger, faster, and more profitably.
What It Means For You
A few positive changes that are coming to you:
This Tuesday email will continue. While today's is a piece of news, it'll almost always be something hyper-useful and applicable.
The Friday email will change a bit. We'll test some new strategies to see what works. No matter what, it'll be more valuable.
I'm going to inject the Copy Creator philosophy into everything we do, and if you follow it, you'll earn more from your content.
You'll get a lot more helpful info on personal branding and social media, along with the blogging education you already get.
Tim has been doing a fine job the last year, but he's too busy to give Copyblogger everything he has. Now that we have two people on this who are experts in two different domains of content marketing, we're gonna go to another level.
Stick around. You'll be happy that you did.

I’m Pumped
Most of you know my passion for Copyblogger. If it weren’t for this brand, I never would have built Sober Nation and I never would have learned how to write online, do SEO, email marketing, and online marketing in general.
Copyblogger was my education. That’s why purchasing the company was such an emotional moment for me. I truly feel as though I am passing the torch to the next generation of freelancers, entrepreneurs, and writers.
The truth is, I’ve never succeeded in anything on my own. All my successes have been the result of working with others, and all my failures are a result of me wanting to do something alone.
I call this the “Steve Jobs Complex”, where we think greatness means being a lone wolf. But I learned long ago that if I want to go far, I go with others.
Charles joining the team in an official partner capacity is a big deal. Both Charles and I have seen massive success so far through Copyblogger. Our priority is always to serve our students, and that will never change. But now, with our partnership, we are in a position to turn Copyblogger into the world’s most reputable and notable membership community for writers and creators.
LFG. 🔥`
Love you guys. Talk to you tomorrow.
