I’ve been doing a little remodeling on the newsletter. I’m using this new platform for myself, but the main reason for the move is to support my newsletter clients better. Primarily to help them grow their audiences.
I’m sure there will be tweaks to the look and feel over the next few issues. The type of content I share won’t change much - unless you tell me what you’d like to see.
Enjoy this week’s finds.
