Great article–and so true. I started a newsletter in August. It’s good on so many different levels. I can go more in depth on things than is possible on a website or blog. I have also started archiving them on my website. We forget how busy people’s lives are and how important top of the mind awareness is (same reason Coke and Pepsi still advertise…easy to get lost in the shuffle without it) Here’s a link to my archived letters http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs004/1102632184320/archive/1102791284729.html

I regularly stir interest in my work and workshops–and its a fun way to just keep in touch with all the friends you make through art.

Love your articles by the way–Keep up the amazing work!

Patricia, thanks for responding. I totally understand your concern with the frequency & timbre of personal information. I heard a quote this weekend to the effect of ‘you never know where the line is until you’ve crossed it.’ Your fans will tell you, through lower open rates, lower click rates, and slower growth, whether you are going in the wrong direction.

I have been publishing an electronic newsletter weekly (almost) since June 2009. I use PHPList which is free but you do have to be something of a computer savvy person to use it easily. I generally try to tie in one of the topics to my Wednesday blog post. It’s taking quite a while to build a following, though I am very much a proponent of newsletters.

My concern is how much personal things should one include and the timbre of the personal things…
