Have you ever noticed how the things you know and do without thinking might be the exact thing someone else needs to hear? Itâs funny, right? What feels like âjust another dayâ for you could be life-changing advice for someone else. Sharing what you know can really help others. This can be done through what we call âcontent creationâ: blog posts, social media, or newsletters. You know how those social media posts, YouTube videos, and blogs are helpful. But something you might not be seeing is that, if youâre looking for a way to connect with people on a deeper level, starting a newsletter is one of the best ways to do it. Well, why a newsletter? Newsletters offer a more personal connection than social media or blogs. They bypass algorithms, delivering content directly to readers' inboxes, so more people see what you write. This helps build stronger relationships with your readers. You can share more in-depth information, start conversations, and create a sense of community. Moreover, newsletters provide excellent monetization opportunities, such as promoting your own products or services and even offering subscriptions to your audience. A newsletter can find the most loyal audience who value your expertise or, we can say, content. In other words: âĄď¸ Direct Connection: Your message goes straight to your readersâ inboxes. No need to worry about social media algorithms. âĄď¸ Build Trust: When you show up regularly, your readers will look forward to hearing from you. âĄď¸ Personal Engagement: Share useful tips, news, and special offers to make your readers feel important. âĄď¸ Monetization: Promote and sell your products or services to a dedicated audience who values your expertise. If youâre thinking about trying it, download this simple newsletter starter checklist and take the first step toward creating a newsletter! Cheers, Minosh. â |

After a long time, last week, I tried editing a quick video for one of my friendâs new small business with the popular video editing tool CapCut, but got blocked by its new paywall. You know that moment when youâre almost done, but then the app wants you to upgrade? I just sighed, closed the app, and thought, âThere has to be a better way.â So I started looking for other free video editors. And wow, things have changed a lot since the days of Windows Movie Maker! You have plenty of choices...
Last week, I saw a bakery with a long line down the street. No fancy ads, no Instagram, just tasty bread and happy customers. It made me smile. Not every business needs to be on social media. If youâre tired of posting every day or chasing likes that donât lead to sales, I want to tell you something: There are still many real ways to grow a business, even now, in 2025. 1: Use Email Like a Pro Itâs old-school, but it works.

Ever heard of Mister Splashy Pants? Back in 2007, Greenpeace ran a poll to name a whale for their anti-whaling campaign. They expected serious names. But the internet had other plans. Someone suggested Mister Splashy Pants. People loved it. The name blew up on Reddit, won the vote, and Greenpeace had to roll with it. The best part? That silly name helped the campaign get massive attention, and it helped stop the hunt. Itâs a reminder that sometimes the internet behaves in unexpected ways, and...
