I’m Janel, I created Newsletter Operating System, AMA 🔥

by
•
I'm a maker, marketer, writer and community builder, and a huge fan of the creator economy. I'm obsessed with newsletters and am addicted to creating new things & optimizing operational workflows using no-code tools. I started writing a newsletter, BrainPint last year and tumbled into a newsletter rabbit hole, which led me to create Newsletter Operating System, an all-in-one resource for newsletter writers built on Notion. It has helped more than 1,100 newsletter writers start, grow, organize and earn from their newsletters. I pivoted from corporate life to tech and am currently the Program Manager at On Deck’s No-Code Fellowship. I’m surrounded by amazing builders who play positive-sum games and am so thankful for that! I love to learn, curate, write and build things, in addition to social dancing, travel (hopefully I can get back to that!), and trivia. 👋 I'll be here on 5th August at 9AM PST / 6PM CET to answer any questions about newsletters, Notion, no-code, info products, building in public, curation, the creator economy… and even how to break into tech! Basically, ask me anything. Drop your questions below 👇

I'm really interested to learn more about how you structure and present information in Newsletter OS. - Did you do any research into other products hosted on Notion? - Were there any resources that helped you when creating the product (again, relating to Notion.) - Have you changed how you have organized the information since launching the product? I'm fascinated by how Notion and Airtable are changing how people create infoproducts and am keen to learn how people are organizing it in Notion. Unlike products created with Airtable, you often don't get to see a sample. And, thank you for being you. You do a lot for the community and have always been kind. It makes me happy when you pop up in my feed :)

@cravenjade Thank you for all your support! - Did you do any research into other products hosted on Notion? Not a whole lot! At that moment, there weren't a lot of info products like Newsletter OS that were hosted on Notion but there were a ton of creators creating interesting templates for other functions (databases, checklists, fancy formulas) that I referenced. - Were there any resources that helped you when creating the product (again, relating to Notion.) Looking at the success of other creators, studying and emulating successful launch strategies, with my own twist was what I did. If you want to learn more about Notion, @mariepoulin has amazing resources available! - Have you changed how you have organized the information since launching the product? Nope! I was very thoughtful about how I structured the product. It sucks to have to rework an entire Notion template, especially if you've already input information in it (which many of my customers have done!) so I made sure my base structure was solid before I released it. Now, updates include drag and drop sections, items and/or bookmarks that are easily imported into the base architecture.

Not necessarily a question, but more of a show of love! Jan!! It's been an absolute pleasure watching you grow from where you were to what you have achieved up until now. I still remember it clearly when you sent me a DM on Twitter when were you still around to 80-100 followers on Twitter. Keep it up, you've been a great inspiration and an awesome contributor to this amazing community!

I too fell into a rabbithole, which is how I found this space... very happy I did. Question... In your "no-code-tool" journey.. have your found anything relating to Augmented Reality?
Janel
@crypto_fini Rabbit holes are awesome! Strangely, not yet. Please tell me if you do. It's a space that's heating up!
