I have been looking for a a way to connect via a newsletter for some time. I’ve thought about mailchimp, I tried AWeber and of course my Patreon has that feature. I found this tool from a musician friend who used it and promoted it on Instagram. (Her name is Erin McKeown. Look her up and you can listen to my interview with her on the Out of Silence Podcast (formerly Creativity Gurus/Songsmith Podcast)).
Anyway, I’m going to begin using this on a weekly basis because it not only has the ability to function as a newsletter, this is also a blog and you can podcast from it (I think I’m going to use it as a podcast newsletter) and soon they will have video. Also there is the option like Patreon for a paid subscriber section. All you creatives might want to look at this. It is substack.com. If you would like to be taken off of this email list, let me know - I’m not sure if there is an unsubscribe button but I’m sure it has to have that. As far as the horror stories go, I’m not charging for Patreon for September. I honestly have to get back into the swing of things. I have been so busy this summer I can’t even image the kids going back to school. But I can’t wait so I can be creative more frequently.
Peace & Love,
James
