Hey there, travelpreneur!
I’ve noticed a significant increase in opens and clicks for this newsletter when it is mostly just a curated list of links to opportunities, resources, and interesting content.
I’ve been writing Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs for over a year now and have experimented with a number of formats for the content. Some worked. Some didn’t. I also have my own preferences.
So, I feel like it’s time to step back a bit, focus on other parts of my business, and re-evaluate my goals for this newsletter and what I want to create for you.
That means, for the time being, you can expect only The Good Stuff in this newsletter!
If you like this newsletter and find it valuable, please leave a review (it only takes a few seconds) or refer a friend (you can win some goodies).
I appreciate your support!
