Summary:
Newsletters are no longer just a marketing tool – they’re one of the best available vehicles for your writing. Increasingly, writers and journalists are ditching the gatekeepers and connecting directly with their “1000 True Fans”. Unlike blogs, your newsletter is built around your voice and interests, not around a specific, SEO-friendly topic and clickbait headlines. I’ll show you how to set up a newsletter from scratch and build it into a platform to share your unique take on the world.
