👥 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 sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens. So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a...
Let me tell you a secret I wish I knew at the start: When you’re building something online, talking to “everyone” is a waste. Like trying to light a fire with wet matches. No spark, no flame, just effort wasted. What I mean is, you put out content after content, post on almost every social media profile, create countless Pinterest pins, and feel like nobody’s caring. Most people do this, and it feels safe for a while, but the truth is it just gets you nowhere. And finally, yes, you just give...
The first time I tried using AI to write a meta description for one of my blog posts, I thought I could just drop in a prompt and be done there. The result? It sounded… way too robotic, like something nobody would want to read. Maybe you’ve felt the same. With all these tools around, it’s tempting to let AI do most of the work. But the truth is, and what almost everyone is not taking too seriously, is that you still have to be the boss. AI can write, but it can’t think for you. The reason I...
