Information bombards us, screaming for our attention. In this noise, it’s easy for your message to get lost or overlooked. So we look for ways to stand out, to be heard without appearing like we’re shouting. We want to communicate, to connect.
And we can do this through well-thought out newsletters. Timely, insightful missives that deliver exactly what our community needs at exactly the right moment. Easier said than done.
Join the Alt community and our co-host MailChimp on Twitter Wednesday morning (tomorrow) March 11th at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET for an hour-long chat about communicating with your community through newsletters. We will be talking about what makes a newsletter great, how often you should send one, and more.
New to Twitter chats? You can find all the details on how to participate in a live Twitter chat here.
Unable to join us live for Alt Chat Wednesday? Read through the chat later in the day (search the #AltChat hashtag) when you’ve got a break for tips on how to build your subscribers list and develop a newsletter that has your community racing to their inboxes!
Tips for Connecting with Your Community
