I really hope you enjoy and find useful both of the articles. We put a ton of work behind each of them. If you have any feedback, it'd be super appreciated.

I don't really have any other news. I wanted to send Failory's September monthly report (traffic, newsletter growth, revenue and expenses) but I haven't had time to work on it yet so you'll have to wait until next week.

That's all. Have a great weekend!
