Morgan Lavoie:我计划创建一个关于环保的新闻通讯,分享我每周为环保所做的努力和经验。起初我的想法过于复杂,包括采访等环节,但在与专家的交流后,我决定简化流程,专注于个人体验分享,并设置每周挑战来激励读者参与。 我意识到将个人体验与环保知识相结合,可以更有效地吸引读者,并促进读者参与。同时,我也会学习如何优化新闻通讯的格式和内容,以提高可读性和用户体验。 我明白新闻通讯的成功并非一蹴而就,需要持续的努力和改进。我会不断调整策略,以确保新闻通讯能够持续吸引读者,并实现我的目标。 Jason Feifer:创建成功的新闻通讯需要不断迭代,并根据读者的反馈来调整内容和语言。我的新闻通讯经历了三个阶段的演变,最终形成了现在简洁明了、提供单一可行建议的模式。 成功的关键在于找到可预测性和惊喜感的平衡点,让读者既能预知到内容的价值,又能感受到内容的新鲜感。同时,清晰的结构和可重复的模式,能够提升读者的阅读体验,并降低内容创作的难度。 在内容创作方面,我建议从读者视角出发,关注读者的需求和反馈,并使用读者认同的语言来表达你的价值。不要害怕尝试和改变,持续改进才能最终获得成功。 Alyssa Dulin:创建成功的新闻通讯,首先要尊重订阅者,确保他们自愿订阅,并获得良好的用户体验。发送欢迎邮件,并鼓励订阅者回复,可以提升用户参与度,并有助于避免邮件被标记为垃圾邮件。 保持内容和格式的一致性,以及邮件的易读性,可以提高邮件打开率和用户粘性。同时,利用社交媒体和引流磁铁,例如免费课程或挑战,可以有效地吸引新的订阅者。 在使用新闻通讯推荐工具时,应从订阅者的角度出发,选择与自身内容相关的推荐者,并设置自动化的邮件发送和用户筛选机制,以提高推荐效果。

Shownotes Transcript

Today, Money Rehab's Executive Producer Morgan Lavoie talks about why she wants to start a newsletter— and why you should too.

So, she calls up two pros: Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and author of the excellent newsletter One Thing Better), who shares his advice on making a newsletter that people actually want to read. Then, she talks to Alyssa Dulin who manages the Creator Growth team at the newsletter platform Kit); Alyssa shares her tips for optimizing a newsletter for growth and how to avoid the dreaded Spam Folder.
