Teachers Welcome

Helping teachers find careers they love

July 13, 2021 Launched my first newsletter, breaking down a job

https://teacherswelcome.com

Setting this up was pretty easy. I'm using Convertkit to create landing pages and send the newsletter.

My first issue is a breakdown of the Customer Support role at Wildbit for their Postmark product. I'm friends with someone at Wildbit, so I've been paying attention to their people first approach which I think would fit a teacher really well.

So far, I've had less uptake with teachers than I'd hope for, but I did get a few subscriptions from folks I do not know (not just friends and family).

I've created a sequence in ConvertKit to automatically send a link to a Notion page with my job breakdown so that new subscribers get some immediate value.

I've started teasing out some of the content on twitter https://twitter.com/thejonotron/status/1414977151141511168?s=21

Costs So Far

$15 for the domain on Gandi
$29 for the first month of ConvertKit (wanted premium so I could setup some automations)
5-10h doing some customer discovery, writing my first newsletter, some twitter promotion.

I think teachers are awesome and deserve the very best opportunities. I'm trying to show teachers that their skills are valued in areas outside of teaching
