New Radicals Honesty - Fyreside Newsletter - 12/9/24


Fyreside Newsletter - 12/9/24


Hey Reader,

Ready for some radical honesty?

Last week's newsletter included the following quote:

Also, the eBook version of the aforementioned screen time blog series will hit bahnfyrepr.com/freestuff by week's end!

Well, I lied. I'd apologize, but I'm not all that sorry. See a crucial part of growing a business organically is living within the constant ebb and flow of productivity. Organic growth is a long game, no bones about it. I spend a great deal of time reassuring clients that, just because they've missed a checkpoint or a goal, their progress is not wholly lost. I'm reminding myself (and, by extension, you) of the same.

In case you haven't checked it out yet, the screen time blog series is available on Blogfyre, even if it's not an eBook yet. The conclusion of our screen time series came out swinging with niche references to one-hit-wonders of the 90s. If you want to know why I think New Radicals hit the nail on the head when it comes to social strategy, click here.

We did crack a milestone on TikTok this week! One of the three videos we posted last week broke 1k views! A friendly reminder that I am currently sprinting to 1k followers on the clock app, so if you haven't yet, follow @bahnfyrePR please and thank you.

Coming this week...

eBook.

Last but not least...a final warning!

I've mentioned in the last few newsletters that I am raising prices at the turn of the New Year. Starting next week, This Friday I'll be pulling my current offerings off the website. SO THIS IS THE LAST CALL! The best marketing consultation deals you'll ever see in your life are about to go away. If you or someone you know could really benefit from a one-hour, no holds barred, consultation, please reach out or click here.

Finally, if money is tight this holiday season, I want to reiterate, I get it. If you want to support Bahnfyre without spending a dime, consider forwarding this newsletter to someone who might like it! Or don't, I'm not your dad.

A word to small creators and TikTok enthusiasts.

Screen Time: You Get What You Give

The amount of screen time you dedicate to an app or site is how that app or site quantifies and understands you as a user. Beyond in-app behavior, it is your time that social sites and apps value the most. That’s all well and good, but how does it pertain to the New Radicals? Good question.

This Is Nothing #2

Please stop spamming my inboxes. It will never, ever work. It will, however, continue to give me a reason to write this blog series.


I'm deleting this on Friday. I'm serious.

You've been warned.


Per the recommendation of a number of friends and mentors,

Fyreside Newsletter - 3/9/26 Hey Reader, I am in mourning. One of my favorite video games of the year is being taken offline this week and will no longer be playable. The video game in question is called Highguard and you've probably never heard of it. That's because the absolute piss-poor marketing efforts of the developers killed this game. I plan on getting back to writing about propaganda in the next few weeks, but I'm taking this brief detour for a teachable moment. I believe you learn a...

Fyreside Newsletter - 3/2/26 Hey Reader, Uh...quite a weekend for news headlines, huh? I worked at a haunted house. Not the "a Victorian child died in this bedroom and now haunts the darkened halls" kind of haunted house, but the "jump out, go boo" kind of haunted house. Here's a picture: boo. I still work in haunted houses. In fact, I'm leading a seminar about marketing for haunted house owners at the Ohio Haunters Convention in May. That's not what this week's newsletter is about, but...

Fyreside Newsletter - 2/23/26 Hey Reader, Today I learned that "Big Man Syndrome" is a political science term. That's wild and not what this newsletter is about. I know the phrase from a completely different arena: basketball. That will be the "Big Man Syndrome" I relate to marketing today, so if you're familiar with the poli-sci term, forget about it for the next 5 minutes. This newsletter is about one of the first life lessons I learned from a hobby. I started playing basketball around the...
