Luca Rossi built the Refactoring newsletter, sharing software engineering tips, into a $300k business.
His revenue sources include a paid Substack newsletter with around 1,400 subscribers, sponsorships, and coaching.
Growth levers include joining communities, leveraging referrals and recommendations, implementing robust processes, using paid social ads, building loyalty through community engagement, and owning a distinctive emoji in branding.
It's refreshing to see someone grow a business without going all-in on social media. The guy's got some solid strategies, especially with the community engagement and owning that quirky emoji (π) and making it part of their branding. Makes me rethink the usual hustle and bustle approach.
Totally. I'm into the whole community-first vibe. Personally, I've seen some success by prioritizing genuine connections over flashy social media moves. It's a slower burn, but the engagement feels more real.

Im all for Lucas community-focused approach. Quality over quantity any day. The emoji branding is a quirky touch that seems to stick as well.
