I’ve run two newsletters for about a decade each and every item is on point.
A few more lessons from my experience
- getting it sent is more important than the platform
- ask people to email you their thoughts
- make it very clear where people signed up originally
- make it very clear how to Unsubscribe
- people grow and change. Sometimes with you and sometimes without you
- Unsubscribes are a part of life and it's bitter-sweet
- new subscribers don't now the ongoing context so inside jokes need to be referenced heavily or dropped completely
- sometimes you won't want to write a newsletter. That's the most important day to make sure the newsletter gets written
- if [clothing store] can email me just about every 8 hours it's okay to ask subscribers if they want to hear from you more than once in a blue moon
- thewizl 4y ago"Sometimes you won't want to write a newsletter. That's the most important day to make sure the newsletter gets written" This is excellent advice. I find that the same principle applies to anything in which you want to succeed. Also because if you break the chain once, you'll break it again. The only way to stay committed is to allow for no excuses.
