Why do these always seem to work? Don’t we all want to see what interests others? Maybe there is a little FOMO (what did I miss that everyone else seemed to engage in?). It is human nature so don’t overthink it. So take just a few minutes to see what the Top 5 posts were for 2023 as well as the 5 least read blog posts.
To give you some ammo for your brain:
- I posted over 50 blog articles this year
- The open rate was above 22% (not too bad)
- The click-through rate averages close to 3%. (Could be better)
- This email is sent weekly to almost 8,000 of you (after 1,500 unsubscribed).
I typically write these on Monday morning from a list of over 150 ideas that sit in a Google Doc. Sometimes I don’t need the idea doc for inspiration, and some days I do.
It takes me about 30-45 minutes to complete the blog, the links and the AI generated picture. I then need another 30 minutes to set up on my website, email platform, and Linkedin (I just dropped X/Twitter this week).
So let’s not delay the big reveal . . .
