Reader Supported
Quick reminder that this is a reader supported blog. But, while every paid subscription does get me closer to my goal of retiring at age 50, what I mean by “support” is simply attention and feedback.
The publishing-to-email thing is a mixed blessing: I get to inject myself into your day, ensuring you don’t miss my latest ramblings, hoping to acquire a little of your most valuable currency, but I don’t really get to see how many people read what write, as the open metrics are unreliable and don’t tell you if someone opened it just to trash it (or worse their spam filter did). And even those who do read are discouraged from interacting with it with a like, share or even a comment, since that would require bouncing out to the web.
So if you are enjoying the blog and haven’t had a chance to tell me face-to-face, consider clicking to let me know (you can practice with that little heart at the top).
Also, if you think there’s anyone who would appreciate the blog, or a specific post, don’t hesitate to share with them (or browbeat them into signing up for a free subscription). Here’s a handy button for that:
There, my best impression of a desperate social media influencer done, we can return to the regular content shortly.
Thanks for reading,
