1099 Tips

Turning
Everyday
People Into
Skilled Builders.

Weekly growth strategies for the modern employee and entrepreneur

Born out of
the 2020 crisis.

1099 Tips is a free weekly newsletter for everyday employees and entrepreneurs we call “Builders.”

Greg Jones created the newsletter in early 2020 in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as Director for the Manhattan Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) under the U.S. Department of Commerce. He initially used it to advise enterprise and government clients on how to support employees and entrepreneurs nationwide during the crisis.

Today, it has grown into a vital resource delivered every Wednesday plus a surprise second day each week and is read by 10,000+ builders, from single mothers to surgeons.

The Side Hustler

You have a job and a idea that keeps you up at night. You need a system, not inspiration. Every post gives you something you can apply immediately.

The New Builder

You made the leap or you are about to. 1099 Tips is the daily intelligence that keeps your business development thinking sharp and your execution sharper.

The Experienced Builder

You have been at this a while. You know the game. You read 1099 Nation because the observations are real, the strategies are field tested, and the question every week hits different when you have skin in the game.

The Employee Who Sees the Shift

Your job feels less permanent than it used to. The economy is signaling something. You are reading because you want to be ready before the shift forces your hand.

The Career Changer

You are not starting over. You are starting differently. The 1099 Nation system applies every skill you already have to building income on your own terms.

The Professional with Range

Teacher by day. Landlord on weekends. Freelancer by night. The 1099 mindset was built for people who refuse to be defined by one income stream or one job title.
