Hi everyone!
I started my newsletter for one main reason, but after writing it for 2 weeks I found 2 other good reasons so I thought I'd share them with you.
To provide some context: I send out frameworks, tools, and tactics to help founders become more successful: 1% Founder
Reason #1. I was consuming a lot more information than creating which didn't feel right. The problem is: I am short on time to create. So that's why I started a newsletter in which I curate content. Why? Curating doesn't take nearly as much time but it's still creating in some way. The frameworks, tools, and tactics I find online I repurpose to fit in a newsletter format.
Reason #2. A newsletter is an awesome way to have your network think about you daily or weekly (depending on how often you send out your newsletter). I came in contact with a lot more people since I started it.
Reason #3. Finally, the third reason is that it's helping me to learn more about the frameworks, tools, and tactics that I share. Writing about them helps me to think more deeply about their relevance and significance. I have to assess whether they're interesting enough to share in the newsletter, and then I have to write about them in detail.
So if you were considering starting a newsletter; go for it! If I can help you out with it let me know. I'm more than happy to connect with you.
Nice one! I’m thinking about starting one. Did you consider any other platforms (other than Beehiv)?
Yes, also considered Convertkit. But the way Beehiiv is pushing out new features every week gave me trust in their product for the long-term. They are very customer focused. After using it for a few weeks the experience is really good.
good information thanks, will consider it for my next products
