If I were to send you a monthly email newsletter, what kinds of things would you want to read about?

Discussion

Those recent notes about wine making and how the big boys all mess with the process to make more money. You had a few notes that you could make into whole newsletters.

Agree. Already doing the writing so I'm thinking about what mediums would be most effective for it.

What would YOU subscribe to?

I would subscribe to something that "uncloaks" (un-corked lol) the industry. What to look for in wines, what makes small batch wines different than "industrial wine". Everyone drinks wine but nobody knows how to tell them apart or the difference between how they are made.

It's literally a dark art.

Absolutely. There's so much to say about that. A non snoody wine newsletter

Thanks for the feedback!

General info about wine making, photos of the vineyard, details of the chemical processes involved, health related facts. Basically a curated version of your Nostr feed!

I do sometimes see your longer form posts and intend to go back and read them, and then forget. Email would fix this for me.

(Unfortunately a far off appreciator and not a buyer as postage is near impossible where I live. An email could be easily forwarded on to people who might be tho!)

Appreciate the feedback!

Not holding you to this, but specifically you're saying that YOU would subscribe to a more curated form of my Nostr feed via email?

No worries about not buying. 🫔

I would definitely subscribe. I love Nostr but don't try to keep up with everything. I respect and appreciate what you're doing, and would love to learn more and continue to be inspired. Based on what you share on Nostr, a monthly or fortnightly email newsletter would be more than worth my time.

It's also a really easy way for me to share what you're doing with others who might either be inspired, or even be buyers.

Amazing! Thank you for the feedback.

I've never been an email newsletter receiver so it's hard for me to envision what people would want.

Do you ever do permaculture type stuff on your property? Posting what you’ve done both successfully and with great failure are helpful.

My dad is more into that. His life dream was to retire to a farm and grow all his own food

So many of the lessons can be applied to business and wine making. How do you streamline processes and use proximity of waste streams to get better wine? Sounds like you have an awesome Dad!

Most of my ā€˜farming’ has been failure and I’m glad I’ve never had to rely on my skills to eat! šŸ˜‚

Instead of email newsletter, how about nostr newsletter directly to user inbox ? Can build one ā˜ļø

You can build one?? That could be really sick

Tell me more

Instead of an email address, it’ll be the user's npub. Obviously, they need to sign a nostr event to be added to the list to prevent random unauthorised npub

But you can just do that?

Yes tell me more to! If you could do something Nostr native that would be so cool

The long reads eg are already kind of like an email newsletter

Im validating the idea šŸ’” can also add sats into the mix

every newsletter i’ve ever signed up for, i thought i would want to to read it but i never do šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

then i go through a process where i dont want to unsubscribe cause it would be admitting i was stupid, delete it a few times without reading until im tired of what i now think of as spam, and then i give in and just accept that i was stupid and unsubscribe

but im sure there are people that appreciate newsletters

I'm the same way

Real stories

Sounds simple

But I think it is

Tie in you entrepreneurial exploits, with tough lessons, things that worked or didn’t work, then use it to sell your wine with special offers etc

Essentially it’s just another way to catch people’s attention and add value

And that's what you specifically would subscribe to?

At a high level yes

If you could fuse in:

- how bitcoin works in a business

- niche market dynamics (eg supply chain problems) that help see what is actually going on in an economy

- how Bitcoin is being adopted in general is always fascinating

Maybe you could have a premium subscription that gave you deals on the wine? Early bird? Discounts?

Join my wine club for all that šŸ˜‰

Do you ship to Australia? I would imagine shipping would be the same price as the wine!

I’ve been trying to buy his wines for years and sadly he doesn’t ship to oz

It'd be way more than the wine
