Lurker Turned Member + Bits

Hope everyone is well.

I have been a lurker for a few months and decided it was time for me to sign up here, and introduce myself. I am currently in full-time employment as a Truck driver in the UK. And I am looking to start a newsletter, to eventually get out of my current profession, and to also help and be more beneficial to others.

I do have an idea for the subject of my newsletter, but I will leave that topic for another day. As at the moment, I am in the research mode and I have two resources to keep me busy:

I wish everyone well and hope to contribute more. Also, if you wish to add anything i should look at, please let me know.

    Hey! Welcome aboard!

    You might want to checkout some other places where your target audience hangs out. E.g. Slack Channels, Facebook Groups, Twitter Lists, Subreddits or Quora. That could help you inform your decision making in the future.

    Best of luck!
