Btw, since you're subscribed already, do you mind me asking what you think about the $8/mo? I'd really value your opinion.

I would think about it for sure. My comparison point would be a Patreon podcast membership that’s $5 a month for weekly bonus podcasts. I would do this ASAP if you plan to. As in the “podcast” model you’re getting more than what youre used to receiving for free. Here you’d be restricting free content to something less than people have gotten used to.

Thanks, Doug, really appreciate that feedback! Yeah, I'd prefer to add value for the paid tier, I just don't know where I would find the time. This is really helpful, though, thanks again. I'll keep noodling on it :)

Really appreciate the idea, but I agree with Zircom - they're too geo-restricted. Maybe if a museum had a course or online experience that I could advertise... Something to think about. Thanks!

Yeah you're right, this was a brainfart but after reconsidering that for 5 seconds it's clear to me this is too generic. But since I didn't want to leave you hanging I thought about it a bit more and I came up with a list of websites that could potentially sponsor your newsletter. Sorry if this comes off as intrusive, this is just my brain not being able to let this go :) 1. Online antique stores: loveantiques.com /…

Whoa, just saw this. Thanks so much! I can't believe how much time and thought you put into this — it's really really kind of you. You're awesome. I'll check these sites out :)
