Consequently, I'm often trying out newsletters and then ditching them after a week or two.
I remember you doing exactly that with Hacker Newsletter. :)
That is great advice though - I had several Google and Twitter alerts setup, but then I realized I was never doing anything with them so I axed 'em. Another thing to watch out for is recurring todo list items that you never actually do.
- pathdependent 15y agoConversely, it is the basis for pragmatic advice for companies or non-profits that manage to get someone to subscribe to a newsletter: Don't send a newsletter for the sake of sending one! Non-profits that send monthly updates that merely highlight a member are particularly infuriating to me. Tell me of a new project when it launches or a big milestone reached. Letters sent for the sake of "just checking in" make me ignore subsequent emails. I get newsletter blindness almost as fast as ad blindness.
