Hi everyone 👋 

This is Chris, the new owner of Startups.fyi. I’ve been a long time fan of this newsletter and I am committed to maintaining the same great content that Jaisal brought to us.

Every week I write this email where I share real life examples of money-making online businesses and side-projects (and how much $$$ they make).

Before we begin, I want to look at the Startups.fyi business model.

I know that most of you reading this tend to skip over sponsors, and frankly, I don’t blame you as I do the same thing myself when I read a free newsletter.

Firstly, I want you to know that there is no gimmick here, no trick and no catch.

Many of you are interested in creating your own startup or you have built one already.

Startups.fyi, is also startup and like any small business, we need to generate revenue. The way we do that is through our sponsors. We are paid only for unique clicks on our sponsor’s ad. This means if you click twice, we only get credit for 1 click. If you see the ad and don’t click on it, we don’t get credit.

Also, please understand that clicking the ad won’t cost you a penny. But, it would mean that this newsletter will continue into the future, bringing you more interesting startup stories.

There’s an old saying in poker: “Look around the table. If you don’t know who the sucker is, then its you.” Today, in social media and big data, they have a similar saying: “If it’s free, then YOU are the product.” Hackers, scammers and ID thieves know the money is in the data. A few months ago, I signed up with Icogni, which is a service that deletes your personal data from hundreds of databases.

As of Nov 20, Incogni has done this for me:

Data Broker Data Removal Requests sent: 129

Requests in progress: 47

Requests completed: 82

So I’m a happy customer. Be sure to check them out by clicking on the ad below:

Keep Your SSN Off The Dark Web

Data brokers play a shady game — harvesting your personal data online, and selling it to the highest bidder. No informed consent required.

In fact, every time you accept cookies or download an app from a bad actor, your data could be at risk. Opting out is possible of course — but made difficult by design.

It’d take the average person 304 hours to manually complete all the data removal requests needed to secure their privacy. That’s why the VPN specialists at Surfshark created Incogni: The data removal service that takes care of wiping your personal info from hundreds of databases, reducing the threat of robocalls, scams, and fraud.

Safeguarding your data shouldn’t take up your spare time. Leave it to Incogni — Our readers get 60% off the Incogni annual plan at this link with code PRIVACY.

That’s it for this time! See you again next week.
