I really could use your help with something.
You may have noticed daily newsletters from me recently.
This started after hearing author and marketing guru Seth Godin on a recent Tim Ferriss Podcast episode.
Incredibly, Seth has written a daily blog post for 24 years.
24 years!!
I decided to try this with the newsletter for 30 days.
Almost two weeks in, the data shows this idea was a disaster.
This should also remind us that when something isn’t working, we should examine its reasons.
So I posted about it on X, and one person was kind enough to explain why they were one of the un-subscribers.
It was because they didn’t like seeing a daily email (once a week was enough), and the font was way too big!
A fellow newsletter reader once complained that the old font was too small and difficult to read, so a change was made.
And now here I sit, questioning what should even be written about.
This is where you come in.
This is a newsletter for our community of passive income investors, and what’s important to you matters greatly.
Please reply to this email and, in a few short sentences, tell me what you look for in a weekly newsletter.
What do you love or dislike? What’s missing? What do you not want to see anymore?
Every reply will be read and responded to.
And as for that penny, if you really want it, reply with an address, and I’ll send a penny there for your thoughts.
Seriously, I’ll do it as a gesture of appreciation for helping create a more enjoyable weekly newsletter.
😁Special THANK YOU to the (4) people who responded to the last newsletter!!
