Hi, I just (re)launch my newsletter and, honestly, I can say that I would sign up If I was not the one that created it but maybe I am a bit biased
If you think about solopreneurs and tools and ways to learn and improve yourself and your business what are you searching for in a newsletter?~
What topics?
Long or short version?
Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly?
Also, my newsletter has a short interview ( 10 questions around) with a solopreneur, indie hacker, and owner of small companies (in employees, not money). If anyone wants to make part of it, feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you.
Thank you

Something really valuable, not too often, like weekly inspiration – on how to be productive but sane at the same time, wellbeing, etc. :)

I think it has to be very valuable for everyone. Short is better, people don't like to read these days. I like them monthly. 🤩
Sufficiently short and niche. I don't like generic newsletters. :-)
Bite sized, providing value right off the bat, weekly even daily, topics could really vary as my curiosity spans across different topics.
I don't really have anything in particular that makes me sign up, but do have some that turn me off
Mainly newsletters that just have a sign up page and don't show any of their articles.
I'd like to read an article first before subscribing thank you!
Usually I see a case study or a blog article that's great value - I will look for their newsletter
I very super short write ups. I think news content is probably the best because it changes every week or so and easy for me to be updated just by reading that one email every week.
I usually sign up for newsletters when I want to learn. When I got interested in copywriting, I signed up for a bunch of newsletters of experienced copywriters who would post weekly or bi-weekly tips to write better. When I decided to get into video production, I signed up for blogs that explained what the production process looks like, what is a production team, and answered frequently asked questions.
