first dollar gross

News flash:

Ryan Coogler's new film "Sinners" has been making waves in Hollywood.

But not for the reasons you might think.

Sure, it's a story based on original IP that’s already grossed $240 million worldwide against a $90 million budget

(a rare sight these days)

Yet what's got Hollywood talking is the deal Coogler negotiated with the studio.

You see, he got something called “first dollar gross”...

Which means he gets a cut of box office sales before the studio takes ANY deductions.

And, here's the kicker:

The ownership rights to the film will revert back to him after just 25 years.

This type of arrangement is virtually unheard of in Hollywood.

Studios NEVER give up ownership of successful films.

Ever.

They'd rather let projects rot in development hell than risk losing ownership of profitable IP.

Point is:

Ownership is the ultimate form of freedom in any creative industry.

When you own your work, you control your destiny.

This is why I’m such a relentless shill for starting and growing a daily newsletter.

Unlike social media platforms, where you're building on rented land and can have your entire audience snatched away from you in seconds.

With a newsletter, you own your audience 100%.

No middleman can come between you and your subscribers.

And when you sell digital products, courses, or services to your list…

You keep 100% of the profits.

It's the Ryan Coogler deal of the creator economy.

Better, even.

So if you're looking to build this type of ownership-based business for yourself…

Where you can earn first dollar gross on every single product you sell…
