Your Newsletter is a Goldmine

Martin: 00:00:10

Welcome to Tea Party media.

Martin: 00:00:13

I am Martin Lindiscog and today I will talk

Martin: 00:00:16

about how your newsletter could be a gold mine and what's going on in today's media world.

Martin: 00:00:29

So today on January 18 Review will probably shut down close its doors due to decision by

Martin: 00:00:45

the new owner Twitter.

Martin: 00:00:48

So I have been now merging letters for issues

Martin: 00:00:56

25 of them on Review.

Martin: 00:00:59

I started how many years?

Martin: 00:01:02

Seven years ago or even when I started back in midday got in contact with Martin Yi from

Martin: 00:01:10

Holland and saw the start up there review and the new way of doing a newsletter.

Martin: 00:01:17

You could say it like building blocks easy to use, you could integrate and take like an

Martin: 00:01:24

image from your Instagram account for example a tweet, embedded tweet and so on.

Martin: 00:01:32

It was very neat and nice to use.

Martin: 00:01:35

Of course it's what I've been struggling with

Martin: 00:01:39

to do publishing episodes of my first podcast eagle net Cost on a regular basis.

Martin: 00:01:45

Same thing with the newsletter.

Martin: 00:01:47

Newsletter should be in a way and use items

Martin: 00:01:51

and when it's the thing how often you could be able to publish I will come back to what it

Martin: 00:02:00

will circle around and coming back to what I like were thinking on paper and note cards and

Martin: 00:02:08

index cards, especially ones that I use.

Martin: 00:02:11

Model 90 27 write things down and according to

Martin: 00:02:16

my perfect week, I have an interesting flow.

Martin: 00:02:21

Where that's?

Martin: 00:02:22

Ending the week with the newsletter on the Sunday, the day before.

Martin: 00:02:30

Saturday is one thing like podcasting.

Martin: 00:02:34

Friday is tweet twitter like follow Friday.

Martin: 00:02:39

Thursday is Fallback thursday you can do that on Facebook.

Martin: 00:02:46

Wednesday LinkedIn wrap up post middle of the week tuesday blog post.

Martin: 00:02:53

Monday open Fred Instagram so how you could do it.

Martin: 00:02:59

So I will talk more and more about this.

Martin: 00:03:02

Your hub began blog your blog, your newsletter

Martin: 00:03:08

and your podcast.

Martin: 00:03:11

So it will be interesting to see if they will

Martin: 00:03:16

keep revenue like a placeholder or if they really will shut it down.

Martin: 00:03:23

Now I've been migrated and moved my small amount of subscribers and it was easy to do

Martin: 00:03:34

that thanks to a tweet there.

Martin: 00:03:36

But I saw by an employee at Beehive and that's

Martin: 00:03:43

Beeh IV beehive like it sounds like a beehive with bees and a honey pot.

Martin: 00:03:54

So I managed to do that subscribers and then also the content for 25th newsletters I also

Martin: 00:04:04

got incorporated there and I'm thankful for that because otherwise they could be gone.

Martin: 00:04:11

And I have learned that lesson regarding podcast that I have hosting companies that

Martin: 00:04:17

I've had material on and then if you merge or move your podcast to another hosting provider

Martin: 00:04:24

I haven't fought it through or maybe you stop paying the hosting or something else comes

Martin: 00:04:33

around or maybe they close down.

Martin: 00:04:35

But I'm using a service that was a free

Martin: 00:04:38

hosting service called it was a start up in Stockholm, and now we are working with Search

Martin: 00:04:50

All Ears.

Martin: 00:04:50

It's called you could search keywords in

Martin: 00:04:54

podcast in YouTube.

Martin: 00:04:56

But made.

Martin: 00:04:58

By now.

Martin: 00:05:00

I don't remember the name, but it was a host

Martin: 00:05:03

free hosting company that shut down.

Martin: 00:05:06

And we'll probably see here during this year

Martin: 00:05:10

mergers of podcast players out where things are going around and coming around and it's

Martin: 00:05:18

interesting to follow here and again I'm using them now.

Martin: 00:05:24

All it do is call recorder and they have also hosting including as a bit of him and I have

Martin: 00:05:31

an idea of a podcast that I've talked about there in the future but this Tea Party Media

Martin: 00:05:37

Podcast will be about my services, talks with individuals in the industry regarding new

Martin: 00:05:49

podcast apps and Value for Value model and the Podcasting 20 Initiative and other things

Martin: 00:05:58

related to Podcasting.

Martin: 00:06:00

So I have conversation with Mitch of podverse

Martin: 00:06:07

FM in the works in the pipeline recorded and also streamed live that I will upload and

Martin: 00:06:17

publish in the near future but I wanted to get this thing about newsletter in up running and

Martin: 00:06:27

then I will do another one on podcasting so it will be BNP blog newsletter, podcasting.

Martin: 00:06:33

So what's the gold mine? If you have I have some examples with friends

Martin: 00:06:39

and business contacts.

Martin: 00:06:42

For example, Stefan of Detective Marketing and

Martin: 00:06:48

Dovid that is a structural so they have I think they have great newsletters and they

Martin: 00:06:55

have worked with it for a long time.

Martin: 00:07:00

So that could be your gold mine with contacts,

Martin: 00:07:02

with replies, with leads and what it could lead to.

Martin: 00:07:08

But for me, it has been this thing how to use newsletter and set it up and it could be easy

Martin: 00:07:15

way of doing it.

Martin: 00:07:16

And I was a bit afraid that after review

Martin: 00:07:20

shutting down will I be able to find a new one?

Martin: 00:07:25

And now pound this in beehive and I will talk more about that in future.

Martin: 00:07:30

We have interesting different plans and packages and premium features that you could

Martin: 00:07:37

use.

Martin: 00:07:38

And I have booked a meeting with one of our

Martin: 00:07:42

representatives regarding the merging and also develop a newsletter.

Martin: 00:07:48

So it would be interesting to talk to him.

Martin: 00:07:51

And I must say that I enjoy the onboarding and

Martin: 00:07:55

when I published my newsletter here issue number 26 the first year powered by Beehive.

Martin: 00:08:02

I got email with Confetti and GIF congratulations with congratulations and said

Martin: 00:08:12

don't you want to spread the good word on social media?

Martin: 00:08:16

So I did that also I did a tweet, I did a Facebook post and shared on LinkedIn also.

Martin: 00:08:24

So with that said I will now take a sip of T here and that could be a symbol of this as I

Martin: 00:08:36

said the note card and T is a black T.

Martin: 00:08:42

Blandwater took what I left off some black tea

Martin: 00:08:46

blends but good for breakfast and other times.

Martin: 00:08:53

Next episode will be about podcasting and then

Martin: 00:08:58

I will publish the one with my conversation with Mitch Downey of Podvers FM.

Martin: 00:09:06

So ending here.

Martin: 00:09:08

Do you read newsletters?

Martin: 00:09:11

How many do you subscribe to? Do you have plans to start your own

Martin: 00:09:16

newsletter? Thinking about that.

Martin: 00:09:25

The call to action is to download a new podcast app like Pod Verse or others like

Martin: 00:09:36

Fountain FM.

Martin: 00:09:39

So with that said, cheerio and talk to you

Martin: 00:09:43

soon again.
