NEW newsletter, once or twice a week?

[GordonJ]

OK.

New newsletter. Fly-Low--Collect Dough UPDATE HOTLINE

Once or twice a week? Your thoughts?

Trying some new things here, mine is a new email newsletter. Short, pithy with a Q and A. MY thoughts are once a week isn't enough, 3 a week is too much...does that make 2 a good idea?

I'm thinking Tuesdays and Saturdays. A combo of seasoned ideas from SowPub/GJA along with fresh content, targeted toward my

FLY LOW AND COLLECT THE DOUGH CROWD.

Do you want on the list?

I would assume the length of the NLs would be a determining factor as well. It seems to me having to produce a 3 pager versus a 1 pager (length of content) would veto the three days and probably the 2 days per week schedule. That would mean 1 day a week by default, right?

Of course, if you go to 2 days, that might be right for the audience but what about you? Writing a frequent NL sounds like a pleasant doable project but when it starts eating your time and energy it becomes a PITA.

Just my thoughts before I vote for the 2 day presentation.

I think the newsletter is a great idea!

Over the last 24 mos or so, I've tried out a simple concept with pretty good success. My plan was to start a new "fly low" type of business every 60 days and train someone else to run the day to day.

This is working out well.

I lay out the gameplan and put the marketing in place. I put up the upfront money for whatever is needed. This gets real interesting when you add barter/trading into the mix.

Anyway, I've found that existing businesses are interested in some of the "add on" things I've come up with. This has given me access to cash, a location, inventory, existing marketing and an existing customer base.

It's fascinating what you can negotiate for...from just an idea. It's like printing money, without the risk.

There's nothing new to any of this, just my particular approach.

As we head into the whirlwind that is coming, I expect the "fly low generation" to be a large part of it.

It will be here sooner than you think.

Until a transaction, you have STORED VALUE.
Once that is converted....

BE thrifty, frugal and and try to get both of you in a "make it grow" mode.

Easy to spend windfalls of any kind, size or shape. Harder to reinvest, but more profitable in the long run.

And that is just ONE niche, keep ordinary, everyday, steady-stream stuff in mind too. Hidden treasures are harder to find, but don't jump over the quarters to get to the dollar bill, eh?

Gordon

Count me in, Gordon.

Three a week would be too many. 1-2 is fine. I lean towards fewer emails.

Gordon, count me in. Twice a week would be great.

I hear you on the "Stored Value"...I didn't want to overwhelm her with too much "info"...(already been down that road before ) Keeping her motivated...and "thinking" of the "next" step only...we've already briefly talked about reinvestment/circulation as it applies to our "SPIDOG"...thanks Gordon...oh yeah...as far as the Newsletter...1-2 would be perfect for me as well. Hope you roll out with it.
