"grow my audience faster by doing things like posting more, or adding more functions to the newsletter, or being a bit better about promoting it" I don't know Andrew. As a 'stack reader, I just want to read. When I see a really super duper site, the first thing I think is, what are they hiding? : )

I really enjoyed Andrew’s answers (to the excellent questions … there’s such a cool rhythm to these interviews by seeing such different answers to the same questions). Lots of food for thought. I’m one of those folk who treat my newsletters as a bit of a curation - gatherings of other posts, lists of ‘things I’ve learned’, that sort of thing. I think I might give an essay a go. Thanks for the inspiration, Andrew. And, yes, 100% yes, to the appeal of ‘this worked for me, you might get something out of my experience’ approach over a ‘this is the authoritative way to do stuff’. Much more engaging. Good stuff, thanks, Barrie.
