How I Run My Simple Newsletter With Lots of Fun
Why do I enjoy my side hustle so much?
I started my newsletter in December 2023. I remember, in the first 3 months, I gained over 50 subscribers.
Year later I got 450 amazing subscribers.
Most digital creators will tell you that your newsletter is the most important asset. This is the only thing you really own.
And I get it. To grow my side hustle I need to build my email list.
But, running a newsletter is not only about business. It’s also about having fun.
Do something you enjoy doing
Look. If you start a newsletter that you don’t enjoy much, eventually it will tire you out.
If you feel bored, if writing each issue is painful, at some point you will want to end it.
You will jump to another idea, trying to find some excitement and joy.
So how do I have so much fun running my newsletter?
It’s simple. I am very passionate about making money online, running small digital businesses and productivity.
In the past I used to trade forex (foreign exchange market) after hours.
I have invested in rental properties.
I have published two books.
I love taking action and starting new projects.
And that’s why I consume content around it in my free time:
I watch YouTube in the evenings
I listen to podcasts while cooking
I subscribe to newsletters
I follow other creators on social media.
Best content I discover I save on a dedicated list in Apple Reminders.
And I do this with minimum effort. In safari click Share icon, then select Reminders.
Once a week I sit down to schedule my newsletter.
I go through the last resources I liked and choose 3 or 4 to share with my audience.
You can join my newsletter here if you want.
Here is how it looks like:
Now it’s your turn:
Pick something you like to listen, watch and read about;
Save the best things you find;
Share it with your audience online.
Thanks for reading!
