The daily newsletter business is a crowded space, to say the least. The barrier to entry is as low as it could possibly get and the unit economics are brutal.
Getting ahead of competitors isn't some abstract, arbitrary goal. It's the only way to survive in a business like this.
If your goal is just to write for the sake of writing and you don't care if anyone reads it, this article probably isn't for you.
I think it’s almost there. I care if people will read me (I am an amateur fiction writer), but not a competition to read me and not others. Or praise my writing more than they praise others.
Not really much thought or deep reflection on my part,I just feel that they are a type of person that I don’t want to be or follow advice.
So I stopped reading.
