Why You Must Start an Email Newsletter

To thrive and succeed, fuck the ‘gram. Focus on building your own email newsletter.

Social media delivery rate is atrocious

If I have 60,000 Instagram or Facebook followers, and I post something (and don’t pay money), I might only get 100 of my followers to see it. Why? This is how the algorithm works. This is how FacebookGram makes money.

Until you own your platform, you cannot become rich

If your goal is to become rich or more powerful, you must own your own platform. Own your own website and domain (signup on bluehost.com and install wordpress.org), and for your email newsletter, I recommend the far more difficult ‘Sendy‘ platform (than using mailchimp.com which isn’t self hosted).

This is why I am stopping to use Gmail, and preferring to use my own email domain instead.

Freedom and power is harder.

What I discovered:

To build your own self-hosted website, email newsletter, setup your own self hosted email is a quadrillion times more difficult and complicated, but this is the price you gotta pay in order to become richer, more powerful and more in control.

Ideas

  1. Buy ‘Sendy‘ and install it on your website.
  2. Or, for a simpler solution use mailchimp.com
  3. Or even simpler, just BCC people in your email chain. Just create a Google form to collect emails, and you can send a ghetto email newsletter via Gmail (or use your own self-hosted email). Instructions here.
