Congratulations, Barbara. A newsletter (email list) is good for lots of different types of marketing.

Very informative. Will be looking for part 2. I am new at all of this and am promoting an idea/concept for family benefit/not my profit-although I would like to write for current magazines. A newsletter is on my list. Barbara

Jaime - that's the key to a powerful newsletter. You're being you and you are engaging people. People love what you have to offer. You're doing it right! šŸ˜‰

Kris,

Just wanted to say "congrats" on building a list so big you have to pay for it!

...hoping to get there eventually myself =)

I'm one of those people who just couldn't figure out how to do the newsletter, and I promise I tried.

For years I tried, but I think the biggest list I ever built was 113 people? Depressing, because they were not engaged either. Or rather, I didn't know how to properly engage THEM.

Yes,...I will take full responsibility for my flop.

For anyone trying to learn how to do this, I did get directed to Substack, and I have two platforms now. Just started, but so far I'm getting new signups every day, and the open rate of my emails hovers around 72-76%.

I believe that's because my list is so small, but just having readers opening the newsletters has me excited.

When you said simple is fine, my old self would have argued...thinking that it had to be designed perfectly, to catch people's attention. On Substack, readers are replying, telling me they enjoy my writing and voice...and I'm blown away.

Never thought I'd have these results. Yes, I know I just started, but if there is a handful of people, mostly strangers, who like what I'm doing, there COULD be more out there.

The best part about this process, is that I get to focus on writing and engaging people on a personal level.

Looking forward to part 2.
