As a Maker, Will you need this?
I'd like to start a newsletter for Makers out of a pain point:
Like trends .vc, I'm putting in hours of research into making a guide on a topic of interest, along with an action plan every 2 weeks. For free.
Is this something you'll subscribe to?
No? Please comment why.
Yes? Here's the website: https://useMakerNotes.com
Indifferent? Please comment why you feel so.
All Feedbacks are highly appreciated. On copyrighting, or design, and conversions.
PS: I'm also obsessed with crafting accessible, and inclusive websites. So if you find issues with using the page, please comment as well.
Your site is beautiful. It strikes me as a vague topic. Because, quite literally you don't know what the next guide is about.
If I can be so bold as to suggest something. Add a 10 week roadmap. Or the first 3 topics you'll be covering. Something. Share the steps with us. Or a sample. If you've already done one or two, share them with us so we know what we're getting into.
again, a beautiful site!
Also one more note: Publish something every week, a draft or outline and then the next week publish the finished guide. Weekly is far far greater than every other week. Or release a resources list, and then a guide and then an OS. (obviously up to you, but I'd suggest releasing something each week)
Thank you Andrew, those are valuable feedbacks!
Off the top of my head, based on resources I've been gathering, my next 3 posts lies around Using Twitter, Launching Products, and Deploying Websites.
I thought as much that the first issue will be a determining factor for most. I just need to make it as thorough as possible.
Thanks for the insight on the drafts, or releasing in time steps. Is this something you can advice doing with my Twitter handle? Sharing updates on the writing process and sending only the final resource. Thereby, Avoiding sending too much emails considering people will likely be subscribed to a no as well.
It's my first newsletter, I don't want to feel pressured to releasing something i wouldn't be proud of every week hence my resort to 2 weeks. Hopefully, as I adapt, I can cope with every week.
Thanks a lot for your insights.
