This is a replay of our monthly meetup, where you learn how newsletters have better reach, open rates, click-through rates, and more than social media. I am not "anti-social media" as it's a great place to be social and interact with your audience, but if you want to market (and make it easy to share), you can't go wrong with a newsletter.

See the video version.

Takeaways:

• Newsletters possess a significantly higher engagement rate when compared to social media platforms, making them an advantageous tool for audience growth.
• The number of individuals who engage with marketing material via email substantially exceeds those engaging through social media, thus emphasizing email's effectiveness.
• Utilizing newsletters allows content creators to reach their audience directly in their inbox, circumventing the ephemeral nature of social media posts.
• A well-structured newsletter can provide a more personal connection with the audience, fostering loyalty and a community around the content.
