Howdy friends!
Welcome to The (new) Modern Desk. After a website refresh last week, I'm excited to present the corresponding newsletter layout. Some of you will probably miss the old one, but I'm feeling a lot happier with this simpler format. More tweaks to come. (By the way, your feedback is always welcome — just reply.)
From now on, you'll be greeted with a short intro by me in which I reveal bits and bobs about my glamorous life as an indie publisher. But you'll also hear about my attempt of developing TMD into a side business by growing its audience and, when the time is right, introducing one sponsor per issue. My initial goal is to get to 5000 subscribers in the next three months (we just crossed the 2000 mark last week). I have no idea whether this will work, or whether I'm able to sustain the weekly schedule, which consumes around 3–5 hours of my time every week. Stick around to find out!
If you scroll down, you'll also notice that I started including the occasional 'special offer' exclusive to TMD readers. In this issue, Harvest is giving you a discount on your first paid month of their app.
Thanks for subscribing! Follow TMD on Twitter, and if you like the weekly update, please help me spread the word by telling your friends. Just send them to themoderndesk.com
