Killing The Group, Long Live The List!
I’m going to be eliminating the current Yahoo Group sometime within the next 5-10 days.
If you’re a member of that Group, your email address has been automatically imported into my new private email list. As with all previous messages, you’ll have the opportunity to opt-out from any email sent to the list at anytime.
Frankly, I made this decision based on Facebook’s new content policy. I need to ensure that I retain full rights to distribute and control access to the content I worked hard to create. A lot of the content that I have posted in that members-only group holds tremendous value to me, and I wouldn’t want Yahoo to flex it’s corporate policy and try to claim some sort of infinite permission to post and provide access, as it seems the folks at Facebook are want to do.
If you’ve been a member of my Yahoo Group for any length of time, you already know I rarely use it to send messages — preferring to keep info posted on my blog instead. You’ll soon see me adopting a more regulated email schedule and providing some exclusive content to list members only. Some things in store for list members:
- Free mini-brainstorms in each edition on topics YOU choose
- Reduce fees for consulting services
- Reviews for media that sparks ideas
- First-access to new content
- An occasional bit freebie loot given to list members
If you’re a member of the Yahoo Group, you’re already a member of this new list. If you’ve not signed-up for the old group, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to this new list. I promise not to abuse your time or attention.
Please sign-up today!
PS: If you’re a member of that Yahoo Group, I’d advise downloading and saving anything you want from the “free” files section of the site. I plan on shutting down that group and its content as time permits, and probably won’t provide any additional warning.
