A Newsletter & Content Shift
A Newsletter & Content Shift
A pivot to how BASE content is published. Spoiler alert: we're just getting started!
Starting a newsletter is a journey, especially if you’ve never done it before like me. Every issue is a learning opportunity for the process, the business, who you are as a writer, and all that jazz.
I wanted this newsletter to be a revenue generator for me, as I am currently a solo entrepreneur trying to be self-sustaining. The chances of that becoming a reality in a short enough amount of time is low. So, I’m pivoting a bit.
Starting now, 98% of BASE content will be free. The paid tier is still available (now reduced to $5/mo) in a “support the creator” capacity, but will not include much in the way of exclusive content for now.
The newsletter will be reduced to one scheduled release a week, with occasional supplements. It’ll be a little more casual, yet always emphasizing how to use the knowledge shared as a senior would.
If you ever enjoy a piece of content, the format of the newsletter, or have any advice to share, just hit reply and send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.
But wait, there’s more! (insert cheesy infomercial music)
Replacing the reduced newsletter content will be a new blog on the .com, where more formal or long-form content will be added, especially anything code-heavy. While there is no promised release schedule there, all relevant content will be highlighted through the newsletter.
I’m working with some other engineers, managers, and creators on content for the blog. Stay tuned for that.
Here’s a preview of this week’s newsletter, releasing tomorrow (Wednesday Jan. 24):
Preparing for a possible layoff
A senior’s security resource: the OWASP Top 10
Is it a console, or a terminal, or…?
