Why I closed it, and why I couldn’t stop thinking about it…
My mini newsletter was doing great.
It was growing nicely and got up to about 700 subscribers.
I wrote about it on Medium a few times (linked below), and those articles took off. They’re still some of my best performers.
But after I started my Hustling Housewife newsletter, it felt like a little too much to run both.
So I closed my mini newsletter down.
Then…
I decided to move it over as a section of my Hustling Housewife newsletter:
It was going well, but…
It was making my newsletter way too long!
My main content is above these linked sections, and because brevity is not my strong suit, my newsletter can get very long.
But there’s another reason why I kept thinking about restarting it.
I was still getting consistent notifications of people signing up for it and recommending it.
Finally, I said, screw it. I’m restarting this bad boy.
Except…
I used to send it out five days a week. Now I’ll send it out on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since my Hustling Housewife newsletter goes out on Saturday, this will be a nice balance.
I’d love for you to come on over and check it out. I call it the smartest newsletter online. (It’s called Intellectualists. See what I did there??)
It will only contain links to resources and ideas focused on writing, marketing, selling, and side hustling. It’s 100% free with 0% fluff.
