This hit my inbox a few days ago, and I wanted to address it here for everyone to see.

Mike,

What happened to your regular, reliable, readable newsletter? I can read at least four or five times faster than you can talk. Plus I can look over a table of contents and determine which portions interest me. When you put your newsletter on audio, it makes it much less usable.

Perhaps a podcast in addition to your newsletter rather than instead of your newsletter would be more effective.

But hey, I’m getting this free, and very much appreciate it. I’m just offering a word of critique.

Best,

Never fear Tom!  The old newsletter is still going to be around.  However, in an effort to diversify what I do, and to get more knowledge out there, I’m going to offer both an audio and written newsletter (like you suggested).

The structure will look something like this:

Audio Newsletter/Podcast:

–  Updates

–  Mail bag

–  Interviews

Written Newsletter:

–  Updates

–  Mini-articles that are too long for blogs, but not quite long enough to be full articles

–  Links to blog, articles, etc.

So you’ll still get a ton of great content, it’s just going to come in different formats.  I just hope you continue to enjoy it!

All the best

Mike
