Your job called—it wants better business news

Welcome to Morning Brew—the world’s most engaging business newsletter. Seriously, we mean it.

Morning Brew’s daily email keeps professionals informed on the business news that matters, but with a twist—think jokes, pop culture, quick writeups, and anything that makes traditionally dull news actually enjoyable.

It’s 100% free—so why not give it a shot? And if you decide you’d rather stick with dry, long-winded business news, you can always unsubscribe.

Why skills pay

Trading time for money limits your income. Wealthy people don’t just work hard—they work smart.

  • Time is capped – You only have 24 hours in a day. Your value must go beyond your hours.

  • Skills scale – The right skill can generate income long after the work is done.

  • Results > effort – High earners get paid for outcomes, not hours.

The Fastest Way to Increase Your Income

Learn a skill people will pay for, and then improve it relentlessly. The better you are, the more you earn.

  • Start where demand is – Look for problems people are desperate to solve.

  • Package your value – Whether it’s content, service, or product—make it easy to pay you.

  • Leverage platforms – Use social media, newsletters, or marketplaces to get noticed.

Three Income-Building Skills to Learn Now

  1. Copywriting – Knowing how to write persuasively is a superpower in business.

  2. Content creation – Brands and individuals pay for attention. Master it, and you win.
