How many times you edit or want to edit your headlines and formatting of a post?

An edited version of my newsletter from yesterday.

Hi, my future Gumroad members,

First, I would like to thank Two of the members who paid for this membership, you should know that it can be free if you choose to pay $0 when subscribing. (note that this is a monthly membership, so if you do not want to be charged for each month, you can switch it at any time, but if you would like to support what I do, then thank you.)

Recently, I have been busy tight on schedule while finding a new path in writing and remaining balance with my current work in life outside of medium and within Medium.

For the past weeks, I have been writing poems, filing my personal income tax, and thinking of ways to support writers on medium as well as the members here on Gumroad.

My Offer

I have decided to offer once-a-week free headlines and formatting on one of your drafts. (once a week, remember that)

Where I’ll review and provide feedback.

How it works.

I have a Pub called “New Pub Welcome”, you can send your draft in for editing and I’ll leave my feedback and comments there. (processing time will be first come first served at the rate of 1 draft a day, this is free for all Gumroad members) (remember to put the letter TK in the draft, it will alert me in case I hit publish by mistake)

It will look something like this after you enter TK

Come by this post and leave a comment so I can add you as a writer to submit the draft for review, thanks. (remember again only one draft per week)

This is not a writing lesson but rather a session to increase your chance of getting views and possibly more reads.

My Read Ratio for March was 64.7%, if you are interested, let me know.

If you haven’t read my earnings report for March, here it is:

Title: I Made $964.89 in March — I Learned a Couple of Things

This newsletter is now being released on Medium.

Ways to reach me:

The best way will be on medium, comments, private messages on any recent post, or submit a draft and I’ll comment on there directly.

You can reach me on X but I rarely go on so it might take weeks for me to notice.

Ready to leap? (this may change at any time if the volume is too high)

Tagging a some writers that came by to the Gumroad newsletter post:

Muno Yarani Hassan | Maytha | Grace 🥀🥀🥀 | Ankitaa Pupneja | Koba Writes | Love Anoliefo | Zouhair Faouzi | Justine Christine | Sreevidya. A | Hustle AM 📝 |

Disclaimer, this is a one-time tagging event to invite and ask if they are interested in joining the newsletter, which comes with this free service/offer.

A little bit about how it is going on Gumroad. (no worry about receiving too many emails from me, which I rarely send out instead of the newsletter)

So far the opening rate is above 50%, which is good enough for me.

As this will be run in a note-taking format, so all the previous newsletters will be on the dashboard.

The back reason for using Gumroad, I do feel anyone can create a content that is sellable, so getting used to how it works is the first step.

In case you didn’t know some of the digital products on Gumroad are charging $49+. (some of them are interesting but some might be outdated) This one is ongoing and is still free.

Or you can skip everything and create your own product with your craft.
