Good news, Titanic fans. A $300m project has been proposed in Nova Scotia to build a replica of the ship where guests can stay, dine, and enjoy copious amounts of Titanic-themed content, including musicals, symphonies, and ballets — without the risk of catastrophic icebergs.

We almost started this piece with a water joke but we weren’t sure if y’all were fans of dry humor.
<em>
Anyway
</em>
…
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It may seem like there’s not much left to innovate when it comes to something as straightforward as water bottles.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But in recent years, that simplicity has proven to be an opportunity, and we’ve entered a golden age for creativity in the space.

<strong>
Let’s talk about Death
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Liquid Death is truly a hilarious business. The company sells water in cans that look like 16-ounce beers, branded with slogans like “Murder your thirst.”
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
They’ve raised
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
<strong>
$130.6m
</strong>
</a>
in venture funding, which may sound odd — the company sells mountain water, not software. The answer is that Liquid Death is a lot like Red Bull: it’s about the brand, the media, and the stunts.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Those stunts include things like:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">

Others have reinvented the bottle model

</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
For instance, FreeWater sells water bottle labels as ad space, then gives the bottles to people for free. Brands can distribute them on their own or pay FreeWater to do so.
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
In the future, the company plans to use the same playbook to expand to all kinds of product lines.
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Last year, FreeWater gave away 32k bottles, earning 30 cents each — a third of which goes to charity. In 2021, it expects to distribute between
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">

250k and 1m

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
However, not all Disney+ subscribers signed up to get Disney content. Roughly

are actually subscribed to Disney+ Hotstar, the company’s Indian streaming service, per

<strong>
On the bright side…
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
… Disney+ should see a pop in its average revenue per user (ARPU):
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">

<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Disney+ Hotstar
</strong>
subscribers in India only pay 76 cents per month
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Some analysts predict losing IPL rights could result in 20m-30m churned subscribers for Disney+. With a goal of 230m-260m subscribers by 2024, hopefully that silver lining is enough to keep investors happy.

Back in 2013, Trends member Sam Matla (not
<em>
The Hustle
</em>
’s founder) launched his debut EDM production course on Udemy.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It was priced at just $80 and boosted to EDM subreddit regulars. At the end of year one, he was making $1.5k-$3k per month.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Since, he’s scaled his music production education hustle to over
<em>
$500k in annual revenue
</em>
, and
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">

200k+ monthly organic site visits

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
… but 80% of the revenue comes from one pillar piece of content.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Sam spent the 2010s exploring the best ways to monetize his expertise. His product launches were centered around long-game organic growth: strong SEO, seasonal campaigns, and steady email marketing.
