Fyreside Newsletter - 12/23/24


Hey Reader,

If you, like me, are checking your email on the 23rd of December, I hope you can find a few moments to breath today. Maybe your winter celebrations don't fall on the 25th, maybe you're hiding in the bathroom avoiding your in-laws, whatever your reason, here's an email you can open, scroll through, and then delete to feel like you accomplished something. I hope it helps!

First up, let me apologize...

For two things actually!

  • Thing 1 was totally within my control. I haven't updated the date in the newsletter header for two weeks. I am sincerely sorry. I'd say it won't happen again, but inevitably, it will.
  • Thing 2 was less in my control and I'm still pretty mad about it. Let me explain...

Last week, my first ever eBook "What Are You Looking At? How your digital usage shapes the internet" hit the internet. I put a bunch of work into it and planned to list it fo' free in the style of "Pay What You Want." I thought I had it set up, but little did I know, the software I used required users to enter credit card information even if what they wanted to pay was $0. How lame is that??

Look I don't want your cc info and I don't want to help some random site collect it either. So I've relisted the book at this link and updated the Free Stuff section of the website. Now you can actually download the eBook fo' free, no credit card info required.

And that's it!

Nothing else to promote because it's the holidays and I'm trying my best to take some time off. I probably won't be taking much time off from TikTok, so if you want to see what I'm up to over there, follow @bahnfyrePR please and thank you.

If you enjoy this newsletter or any of the content I produce, I'd be honored if you would share it with someone else. And hey, if this email was forwarded to you and you're not a subscriber, consider joining the list here.

Fyreside Newsletter - 4/21/25 Hey Reader, I've been staring at this blank newsletter for (checks clock) three hours. I've typed the first sentence half-a-dozen times and I keep deleting it. I wouldn't say it's for a lack of content ideas; I certainly have plenty of those. No, my issue today is motivation, and I think that's worth talking about. Let's start with a video Matt | Bahnfyre PR 🔥 You cannot do it all. You cannot do it all. You cannot do it all. . . . . #selfemployed...

Fyreside Newsletter - 4/14/25 Hey Reader, I hope the day before Tax Day is finding you as well as it can possibly find you. What an incredibly unnecessary source of stress we all suffer through so Intuit (et. al) can get their bag. Here's a 22-minute podcast about that. ANYWAY, let's talk about comments. In last week's newsletter, I put forth this idea: Comments are the only type of engagement worth caring about. Then I planted my flag and walked away without giving you any actionable...

Fyreside Newsletter - 4/7/25 Hey Reader, Last week, I talked about how most marketing advice is bullshit. This week, I'm going to dig into that further by discussing "engagement." More importantly, I'm going to give you a definitive answer to the question: "What kind of engagement should I track/measure/care about?" I won't even bury the lede, it's comments. What is engagement? I think most people are familiar with the word "engagement," but if I asked you what constitutes "engagement," would...
