Twitter test feature that allows direct subscription to newsletters – IT Pro – News

Sorry, but then you’re really missing out on a gigantic revolution. Substack is huge and the list of (paid or unpaid) newsletters that are running well grows and grows and grows.

There is a big market for newsletters with quality, interpretation and background, a bit like the Saturday section of the newspaper, written by people who know what they are talking about, let go of all clickbait and just deliver good content. And that’s what you pay for.

The free variants of these newsletters are not bait: it is exactly the same content (quality) but less often. Or just one quire.

So it’s really not surprising that Twitter goes along with this and the newsletters you get from webshops, the HCC and (sorry) Tweakers are only a meager extract of what a newsletter can really bring. It is a kind of blog but paid. You get specific content, written for “you”, without ads or anything, at a relaxed pace in your box, by consuming you whenever you want.

From backgrounds to explanations, recipes or knowledge. Everything is possible. And often there are all kinds perks such as free licenses or a tool or a template.

I’ve been paying $20 a month for a productivity newsletter for quite some time now. Well worth the money. 5$ for a daily recommendation for good chilled work music. And so there are so many things you can do. From expensive to free.

But the time of the advertising brochure in your box is over, and you really shouldn’t compare it there. Who thinks this is outdated is not at the time.
