Community Updates: Praise be! 📣🌏️🌎️🌍️
This past week we overhauled the Slack. The old longer channel descriptions were replaced by shorter minimalist names and we added two new channels: #praise & #wins
Today’s highlight is #praise, the idea is simple: if you’ve had someone positively impact you, share the love! Mention them and how they've helped you.
Everyone loves to be recognized, and showing gratitude is doubly beneficial. If someone has helped you out lately in the community spread the love and let them know.
$1,000/month newsletter panel
We are hosting a private discussion on Thursday with newsletter owners who are making at least $1,000 per month.
If you're interested in growing and monetizing a newsletter, or if you've already got a newsletter you're trying to grow even larger, then register here for our invite-only discussion.
