đź‘Ą Are We Moving from Facebook to Newsletters?
|
Ever noticed how some newsletters just feel different? I still remember the first time someone hit reply to my weekly email and shared how useful and helpful it was for him. Suddenly, it wasn’t just me sending words out into nothing. Not just for me, newsletters have now become a real place for people to share and feel listened to. And now there’s a change happening. Newsletters aren’t just for sharing updates anymore. According to HubSpot, marketing experts say that in 2025, more newsletters will work like small social networks. If we took a closer look at this, that’s not wrong, because you have full control of the output, it’s an owned channel, and the audience is yours alone, which isn’t true for search engines or social channels with shifting algorithms. And with AI changing how people find things online, it’s getting even harder to rely on search engines to reach your audience in the coming years. For creators and business owners like you, a newsletter can change everything (or at least prepare you). You’re not just using someone else’s platform. You truly own your community, your voice, and your reach. If you don’t have a newsletter yet, it might be a good time to try one. Check out this blog post that shows you some easy steps. And here’s how you can build a closer community with your own newsletter:➡️ Use a simple subject line, make your message clear, and share one easy tip or story. ➡️ Always ask your readers to reply. Add a question at the end or share a simple poll. The goal isn’t a perfect answer; it’s just a real conversation. ➡️ Make it easy for your readers to send your emails to a friend. A simple “Share this if it helped you” can go a long way. ➡️ Show “community content.” Share quick wins or questions from your readers (if they’re okay with it). People like seeing their own names and stories shared. ➡️ Use your email platforms (I use Kit for this) to sort and send different emails to different readers. When someone feels like you’re talking right to them, they’ll stay. It’s not about sending more emails. It’s about making a real place where people want to be. Stay curious, Minosh. PS: Questioning if your niche will pay off? Here’s how to check if your niche is profitable. |

You may have seen many social media people argue about AI, or AI vs. jobs, or things that are going to happen in the future because of AI. But still, on the other hand, you’ve seen this too: many businesses on social media have comments from people asking, “How much is it?” and “Is this for me?” and I’m pretty sure their DMs are also flooded with unanswered questions. Well, that’s the real problem. The thing is, we ramble about AI a lot, but we don’t really think about where we can use it for...
Last week I was at a small garage fixing my little hatchback. The owner never posted a single reel. Yet cars kept coming in like it was planned. There are so many garages that barely get a few cars a day, even though their place looks modern. But this place was full. So I asked the guy who did my brake lining how they get so many customers. He smiled and said, “Our regulars bring their friends.” That’s the real play. And he’s right. The reason I was actually there was because one of my...
I’m not a fan and not even using it, but last week, I opened LinkedIn, saw a smart post from a small creator, and thought, “Nice.” Then I checked their profile. No huge following. Just valuable posts, posted around three times a week, teaching one thing tied to one clear niche. That’s the thing most of us still miss. LinkedIn isn’t only for suits and job posts, well, not anymore. It’s one of the few places where simple posts still work, and native documents (carousels) can get real reach....
