The 9 Best Things About Writing a Newsletter

But it also took A LOT of work to create a weekly issue. I came to a crossroads - either scale it back, let it go or…go all in.
I went with the latter and spent 3 months re-creating every past issue of THE LIST so that every subscriber would have access to every past recipe, print and recommendation. I wanted that $7 a month to feel like an easy yes because what I was offering was brimming with value.
