Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
How to Make a Newsletter Your Career's Secret Weapon

So I thought that I could make it with my newsletter. And I could try to do one thing every week that would help me live a greener life and talk about why it worked and how it worked. But Jason is totally right. My idea is too complicated. And it actually used to be even more complicated. I was going to include interviews with people solving climate issues at scale.

I'm definitely not doing that anymore. I've been thinking a lot about what Jason said since we spoke. And again, he is totally right and his advice is really solid. But I am going to inexplicably still try to do the unmanageable thing, the thing that he said would make me burn out.

And that's because I'm not thinking about doing these climate experiments, as he called them, just to write about them in a newsletter. I want to do them anyway because I think I should be more conscious about my footprint. So I actually think that writing about it and starting this newsletter will help me make some real change in my life and hopefully in others too.

But I am going to forget putting in interviews and some of the other section and segment ideas because I should try to decomplicate this workflow for myself. He's totally right. This conversation left me feeling really excited. So once I felt like I had my idea workshopped, it was time to make the thing. So this is when I talked to Alyssa Doolin. Again, she manages the creator growth team at KIT.

I asked her all of my technical questions, like how do I protect myself from being sent to spam? How do I get people to open my emails? Oh, and importantly, I'm not a celebrity, so how do I actually get people to find my newsletter? She helped me out with all of these questions. Here she is. I have some questions for you, Alyssa, but my biggest worry is that I just don't know what I don't know.

Yeah, you just touched on so many things that I want to circle back to and double click on. But you mentioned the user experience and how you're welcoming people. And that reminded me of the fact that for the newsletters that I subscribe to, when I first subscribed to them, I did get like a welcome email. Is that something that you recommend creators have? Yeah.
