@holmisthename Used to work in a big SDVOSB. Problem is a lot of contracts with a bulk of the value are sole source, and aren’t open for bid. Many of the contracts you would find, many are aware of. I think a trends approach in this space might work better. Something around pricing.
If you are a local email newsletter, FACEBOOK is still the best platform for organic sign ups. This is organic clicks to my newsletter. Each newsletter is gated. I will let you do the math.
The local media crowd needs to choose between being an arbitrage business or actually creating and building media. They are not the same. There's such a disconnect on here between the local newsletter crowd and actual media trends. TLDR Just listen to @bmorrissey. I know nothing.
@louisnicholls_ I think what's missing here, and what many miss when talking local newsletter, is that local newsletters are not the business. Like a twitter following is not THE business. It's a channel to a business.
Email just happens to be a really strong channel. I don't get your take.
Local newsletter folks! If you can’t take a break from your newsletter business, you don’t have a business you have a job. It’s Christmas, live a little.
BRAND shortens the conversation you need to have to gain trust as a business. Your local email newsletter should be a bridge for that with local businesses.
IDEA FOR @kit AND @beehiiv : give us the ability to do Spotify styled wraps for our subscribers. Subscriber with the most clicks in the emails. Most poll responders, etc.
The manychat auto DM new follower feature lets local newsletter get 2 for the price of 1. If you've ran FB ads, you know that a byproduct is gaining IG followers along the way. But now you can run ads for your IG page and have the auto DM feature work people into newsletter.
