@danoshinsky Great newsletter this month, per usual! Question: You mentioned using polls. I agree! But what's the best way to deliver them to subscribers? I like how Substack embeds them right in the newsletter. Anything like that for other ESPs? I use ConvertKit.

I still can't believe this: I'm almost to the end of year four of writing a monthly Google Doc. (And even more unbelievable: Almost 10,000 of you read it every single month.) Read on in the latest issue...

Oh, just a funny story about the time I tried to make some email authentication updates at the end of a long day and accidentally ended up in the spam folder for 24 hours 🤦‍♂️ danoshinsky.com/2022/10/15/eve…

@inoldnews @ONA It wasn't just me! @tinythings @arianarg and @tanyasic were the ones who really shared their learnings about Courses that week!

In Old News@inoldnews·Nov 10

A talk by @danoshinsky during @ONA 2019 gave Siri the motivation to try and make a course delivered via an email newsletter. Since then they've published three such courses since 2021 and are now working on more.

In Old News@inoldnews·Nov 10

Can email be a teaching tool? For the @Open_Notebook the answer has been a resounding yes. We got to ask TON's co-founder and editor, @siricarpenter about how they developed these courses for journalists to refine pitches and story angles inoldnews.substack.com/p/3-free-cours…

As Alex explains so well here: We're making a push to tell stories about newsletters from all over. This month, we've published stories from writers in India, the UK, & Chile And this is the first we've published in two languages (English and Spanish). Lots more to come!

Alex Hazlett@ahazlett

Yesterday @danoshinsky and I published this story for @inboxcollective and it's really worth your time for a few reasons 🧵 inboxcollective.com/santiago-chile…

Una alegría y honor que El Semanal sea digno de ser destacado x los capos de @danoshinsky y @ahazlett

Alex Hazlett@ahazlett

First, come for the Q&A with @ivanwese about starting a newsletter under a parent company. There's lots of good stuff in there about turning your analysis into an indispensable product.

If you're interested in newsletters, you may enjoy a piece I've written with my colleague from reader research, Mike Hoole, on our reader survey. It's been incredibly successful.....inboxcollective.com/financial-time… (Thanks to @danoshinsky for featuring the piece)

@danalacey Agreed! Fear isn't a good motivator for many! (And in Ben's defense, he wasn't trying to do that. He was just asking a question.)

English

dana lacey@danalacey·Oct 18

@danoshinsky Exactly, I’m talking about instilling fear to reach an arbitrary bravado goal … fear doesn’t bring out the best in most people.

Dan Oshinsky@danoshinsky·Oct 18

But it’s wild to wake up today and see, right there on the @Semafor homepage, a massive email sign-up box for their 8 newsletters. How things have changed in a decade. I know Ben’s still asking the same questions about growth — here’s betting it won’t take them nearly as long.

English

Dan Oshinsky@danoshinsky·Oct 18

It took 25 months to answer Ben’s question and get to a million subscribers. (Turns out that when you have no strategy or budget, you rely on a lot of trial and error.) The second million came less than a year after that.

Dan Oshinsky@danoshinsky·Oct 18

So for @semaforben’s first day — and with @semafor launching all sorts of newsletters — I’ll tell the story about my first day working for Ben at BuzzFeed as their Newsletter Editor.
