Ok, time to start actually writing newsletters
A new era starts today! But temper your expectations
Happy new year everyone!
Let’s talk a little bit about what I think* I want this newsletter to be.
I’m currently posting short form videos on TikTok and Instagram, and long form videos on YouTube. Astrology Bro is also something I am just doing for “fun.” That is, I still have a full-time, non-astrology related day job, so time is inevitably limited.
That’s why I haven’t done too much with the Astrology Bro newsletter. Yet.
Until now.
There’s already some really fantastic astrology newsletters out there. Chani is coming to mind as the OG awesomely well-executed astrology newsletter. She did a great newsletter before newsletters blew up as the hot new thing. There were probably others.
You know the newsletter I’m talking about. Standard monthly horoscopes dropped right in your email every month—different month, different astrological climate, but it’s always the same format. With some special editions sprinkled in for retrogrades, significant eclipses, etc.
I say all this only because I’m pretty sure that I don’t want to make a newsletter like that. And I want to make that clear.
First of all, it takes time to do that well. Sometimes I feel like I’m already squeezing all the available time out of my day harder than a dang tube of toothpaste that any rational person knows has already lived its full life.
Maybe more importantly, I think there are creative reasons that I don’t want to make that kind of newsletter. Making videos has been really enjoyable for me these past few months. But, I also miss writing. And I don’t really like rules when I write. I don’t really like rules generally, but especially not when I am writing.
I want to create a newsletter where I can share my passion for astrology, but also my passion for other topics. Probably a lot of stuff that Barnes and Noble would file as “Self Help” or “New Age.” You know, personal growth, self development—that kind of thing.
I also want to insert more narrative and more story telling. So, more dumb anecdotes about my life, more personal stories. That would be fun for me. I hope it’s fun for you too, but who knows if it will be.
Rest assured, this is going to be a very astrology forward newsletter. But it’s not just an astrology newsletter. It’s a newsletter written by a guy that does astrology, but also thinks about other things, too.
I am also going to be sharing more off-topic, light-hearted, and personal stuff on my YouTube channel, too. Not all the time. But here and there. Kind of like this:
If you follow my YouTube, you may have already seen that video here. If you haven’t, then you should definitely subscribe! There’s a lot of neat stuff over there, like this video about dating a scorpio woman. Apparently that one has been pretty popular.
Okay folks, thanks for reading. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
And stay tuned for more from the newsletter!
