Today’s episode of Common Shapes is about why I love newsletters and why you (yes, you) should have one.

Together we’ll explore the marketing side and the creative side of newsletters. I’ll also share—

• My journey starting my newsletter
• How to choose your email service provider
• The newsletter tech I recommend
• What to put in your newsletter
• Examples from my favorite newsletters
• How to decide if your newsletter should be paid or free

After you listen, go get my free Creative Ideation Portal, and get ready to hit send on your first (or next) newsletter today.
