We Know You Don't Want Another Newsletter
SUBSCRIPTIONS SHOW THAT, BUT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT!
It’s true.
First, daily newsletters became twice-weekly newsletters. Then they became weekly newsletters. Then they had to become mini- or micro-newsletters, that contained only a couple of sentences and links.
Next, most creators and writers found a way to remove the word “newsletter” from their subscription forms.
We watch all this because we also need to keep in touch with our readers, in a manner that will not simultaneously make them throw up a little.
Writer classes and coaches always shout about consistency
We here at the “No Stupid Theories Tour” must reveal the actual best approach is being fresh and innovative.
When our Friday newsletter comes out on a Thursday or a Saturday, subscribers say “My, that’s fresh and innovative. I wish I could subscribe twice!”
We prefer to call our scheduling capricious rather than boring.
Old things are becoming new. Time to refresh and reboot.
I didn’t just miss putting out a few issues, I turned it off and back on. It’s more of a restart.
Attention spans are not necessarily shorter
They just need to be fed some real meat.
Even a filet. No bones
The “same old same old” won’t keep attentions.
That’s how we roll on the “No Stupid Theories Tour.”
The trick I learned is not to rearrange deck chairs but to write what needs to be written. Get in and get out. and do it from your own perspective. Never sell with blah blah blah what you can sell with blah blah.
Final Words
At 250 words or so, I have probably already used up too much of your time to say that in my writing, I have found that I am well-served to speak from my own heart, colored by my own experience, and succinctly. Readers have already heard whatever you are going to say, only not from you. Don’t be afraid to be different.
