A reader I trust asked me a question. Basically: “Murph, how are you making money from Understandably?”

My answer: “Um, I'm not. Not yet. I don't know.”

Honestly, I might have to figure that out at some point. I’m just not yet sure if this whole “email newsletter thing” is something that I do for fun and to build an audience and keep in touch with great people, or if I have to figure out how to turn it into a real business.

(Ideas are welcome on that last point, by the way. It wouldn’t be the first time someone else saw the obvious thing I should be doing.)

But for now, since my friend got me thinking about this, I’d like to turn the tables and do something a little different.

I remembered — actually because of another message I got from someone else — that I should suggest a way that you might one day be able to make money.

At least, you can, if the silly thing that happened to me once (but cost me $1,400!) ever happens to you.
