In the second Corona Lockdown, Dorothea Metasch launches a weekly niche real estate newsletter by featuring interesting new construction projects and homes. 26 Homes was born. In a very short time, she manages to get more than 11,000 subscribers interested in the format. She also builds a successful startup around the newsletter, selling consulting services in the real estate sector and marketing media services. Subscribers to the newsletter become aware of 26 Homes primarily through Instagram. More than 80% of the new registrations can be traced back to the network. Even Klaas Heufer-Umlauf reads along here and has ensured a large increase in Dorothea's followers in the past. She reveals how in the podcast. In addition, she explains what the success factors of a curated newsletter are, when companies should start such a project and how an own book can contribute to brand building. And last but not least, she explains how she managed to get Lea-Sophie Cramer and Lena Gercke on the advisory board of her GmbH.
