Welcome to Tea Party media.
Martin:
00:00:13
I am Martin Lindiscog and today I will talk
Martin:
00:00:16
about how your newsletter could be a gold mine and what's going on in today's media world.
Martin:
00:00:29
So today on January 18 Review will probably shut down close its doors due to decision by
Martin:
00:00:45
the new owner Twitter.
Martin:
00:00:48
So I have been now merging letters for issues
Martin:
00:00:56
25 of them on Review.
Martin:
00:00:59
I started how many years?
Martin:
00:01:02
Seven years ago or even when I started back in midday got in contact with Martin Yi from
Martin:
00:01:10
Holland and saw the start up there review and the new way of doing a newsletter.
Martin:
00:01:17
You could say it like building blocks easy to use, you could integrate and take like an
Martin:
00:01:24
image from your Instagram account for example a tweet, embedded tweet and so on.
Martin:
00:01:32
It was very neat and nice to use.
Martin:
00:01:35
Of course it's what I've been struggling with
Martin:
00:01:39
to do publishing episodes of my first podcast eagle net Cost on a regular basis.
Martin:
00:01:45
Same thing with the newsletter.
Martin:
00:01:47
Newsletter should be in a way and use items
Martin:
00:01:51
and when it's the thing how often you could be able to publish I will come back to what it
Martin:
00:02:00
will circle around and coming back to what I like were thinking on paper and note cards and
Martin:
00:02:08
index cards, especially ones that I use.
Martin:
00:02:11
Model 90 27 write things down and according to
Martin:
00:02:16
my perfect week, I have an interesting flow.
Martin:
00:02:21
Where that's?
Martin:
00:02:22
Ending the week with the newsletter on the Sunday, the day before.
Martin:
00:02:30
Saturday is one thing like podcasting.
Martin:
00:02:34
Friday is tweet twitter like follow Friday.
Martin:
00:02:39
Thursday is Fallback thursday you can do that on Facebook.
Martin:
00:02:46
Wednesday LinkedIn wrap up post middle of the week tuesday blog post.
Martin:
00:02:53
Monday open Fred Instagram so how you could do it.
Martin:
00:02:59
So I will talk more and more about this.
Martin:
00:03:02
Your hub began blog your blog, your newsletter
Martin:
00:03:08
and your podcast.
Martin:
00:03:11
So it will be interesting to see if they will
Martin:
00:03:16
keep revenue like a placeholder or if they really will shut it down.
Martin:
00:03:23
Now I've been migrated and moved my small amount of subscribers and it was easy to do
Martin:
00:03:34
that thanks to a tweet there.
Martin:
00:03:36
But I saw by an employee at Beehive and that's
Martin:
00:03:43
Beeh IV beehive like it sounds like a beehive with bees and a honey pot.
Martin:
00:03:54
So I managed to do that subscribers and then also the content for 25th newsletters I also
Martin:
00:04:04
got incorporated there and I'm thankful for that because otherwise they could be gone.
Martin:
00:04:11
And I have learned that lesson regarding podcast that I have hosting companies that
Martin:
00:04:17
I've had material on and then if you merge or move your podcast to another hosting provider
Martin:
00:04:24
I haven't fought it through or maybe you stop paying the hosting or something else comes
Martin:
00:04:33
around or maybe they close down.
Martin:
00:04:35
But I'm using a service that was a free
Martin:
00:04:38
hosting service called it was a start up in Stockholm, and now we are working with Search
Martin:
00:04:50
All Ears.
Martin:
00:04:50
It's called you could search keywords in
Martin:
00:04:54
podcast in YouTube.
Martin:
00:04:56
But made.
Martin:
00:04:58
By now.
Martin:
00:05:00
I don't remember the name, but it was a host
Martin:
00:05:03
free hosting company that shut down.
Martin:
00:05:06
And we'll probably see here during this year
Martin:
00:05:10
mergers of podcast players out where things are going around and coming around and it's
Martin:
00:05:18
interesting to follow here and again I'm using them now.
Martin:
00:05:24
All it do is call recorder and they have also hosting including as a bit of him and I have
Martin:
00:05:31
an idea of a podcast that I've talked about there in the future but this Tea Party Media
Martin:
00:05:37
Podcast will be about my services, talks with individuals in the industry regarding new
Martin:
00:05:49
podcast apps and Value for Value model and the Podcasting 20 Initiative and other things
Martin:
00:05:58
related to Podcasting.
Martin:
00:06:00
So I have conversation with Mitch of podverse
Martin:
00:06:07
FM in the works in the pipeline recorded and also streamed live that I will upload and
Martin:
00:06:17
publish in the near future but I wanted to get this thing about newsletter in up running and
Martin:
00:06:27
then I will do another one on podcasting so it will be BNP blog newsletter, podcasting.
Martin:
00:06:33
So what's the gold mine? If you have I have some examples with friends
Martin:
00:06:39
and business contacts.
Martin:
00:06:42
For example, Stefan of Detective Marketing and
Martin:
00:06:48
Dovid that is a structural so they have I think they have great newsletters and they
Martin:
00:06:55
have worked with it for a long time.
Martin:
00:07:00
So that could be your gold mine with contacts,
Martin:
00:07:02
with replies, with leads and what it could lead to.
Martin:
00:07:08
But for me, it has been this thing how to use newsletter and set it up and it could be easy
Martin:
00:07:15
way of doing it.
Martin:
00:07:16
And I was a bit afraid that after review
Martin:
00:07:20
shutting down will I be able to find a new one?
Martin:
00:07:25
And now pound this in beehive and I will talk more about that in future.
Martin:
00:07:30
We have interesting different plans and packages and premium features that you could
Martin:
00:07:37
use.
Martin:
00:07:38
And I have booked a meeting with one of our
Martin:
00:07:42
representatives regarding the merging and also develop a newsletter.
Martin:
00:07:48
So it would be interesting to talk to him.
Martin:
00:07:51
And I must say that I enjoy the onboarding and
Martin:
00:07:55
when I published my newsletter here issue number 26 the first year powered by Beehive.
Martin:
00:08:02
I got email with Confetti and GIF congratulations with congratulations and said
Martin:
00:08:12
don't you want to spread the good word on social media?
Martin:
00:08:16
So I did that also I did a tweet, I did a Facebook post and shared on LinkedIn also.
Martin:
00:08:24
So with that said I will now take a sip of T here and that could be a symbol of this as I
Martin:
00:08:36
said the note card and T is a black T.
Martin:
00:08:42
Blandwater took what I left off some black tea
Martin:
00:08:46
blends but good for breakfast and other times.
Martin:
00:08:53
Next episode will be about podcasting and then
Martin:
00:08:58
I will publish the one with my conversation with Mitch Downey of Podvers FM.
Martin:
00:09:06
So ending here.
Martin:
00:09:08
Do you read newsletters?
Martin:
00:09:11
How many do you subscribe to? Do you have plans to start your own
Martin:
00:09:16
newsletter? Thinking about that.
Martin:
00:09:25
The call to action is to download a new podcast app like Pod Verse or others like
Martin:
00:09:36
Fountain FM.
Martin:
00:09:39
So with that said, cheerio and talk to you
Martin:
00:09:43
soon again.
