Marketing Junto - Writing A Newsletter

Brought to you by our sponsor mTap.io --> Revolutionize How You Run Events And Network.

Writing a newsletter is a labor of love for me. I love writing for you guys and sharing my knowledge. It's also a commitment, which shouldn't be overlooked.

Sometimes do I wonder what I'm going to write about? Of course.

Sometimes do I want to take a week off? Yes and I did once so far. 😜

But overall writing a newsletter has to be consistent to grow and flourish. You're not just writing for yourself. You're writing for an audience.

I'm a recovering, rather former, journalist. I love to write. As you can tell from my newsletters, I'm not the best at editing though. But the act of writing to you all every week makes me have goals and it's fun.

So if you're want to start a newsletter, just start. Like everything, it's got to start somewhere. And if you're consistent, and of course tell people about your newsletter, it'll grow.

Do you have a newsletter that you regularly write? Hit reply and let me know!
