The Cyberest of Mondays - Fyreside Newsletter - 12/2/24


Fyreside Newsletter - 12/2/24


Hey Reader,

Whether you're a turkey fan or not, I hope last week was good for you!

I took full advantage of the excuse to work a half week, but two new blogs still hit the website. ICMYI, the conclusion of our screen time blog series and This Is Nothing #2 went live.

The target of This Is Nothing #2 is Followers.com. These folks have been spamming my inbox for the last few months and I decided to dig into what they offer. What I found was entirely underwhelming. You can read about it here.

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're still burning the midnight oil on TikTok. I'm grinding for my first 1000 followers, so drop me a follow at @bahnfyrepr.

Coming this week...

Now that it's December, I'm turning my sights to the New Year. 2024 has been an incredible pilot year at Bahnfyre and I'm stoked to see what 2025 has to offer! I also have some changes that I'd like to carry across midnight on the 31st. Keep your eyes on the website this week and you might catch the beginning of some subtle rebranding.

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

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, 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.

Around the Bahnfyre

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.

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.

Screen Time: TikTok

TikTok is watching your literal every move on the app. Because it can only see your screen time, it wants you to give it as much as you can.


CYBER MONDAY!!!

Fyreside Newsletter - 1/20/25 Hey Reader, First off, happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! I hope you have the day off and I hope it's inspiring you to think critically about the society in which we live and the ways we, as individuals, can change it. I'd like to share with you the lyrics of a song called Pretty Songs by this punk band I like called Bob Vylan. White folks love quoting Martin Luther'Cause he held hands and prayed while they bombed his buildingGood for him but the times have...

I don't know, have you ever just come back from vacation more stressed than before you left? Does that ever happen to you? Has that ever happened to you? I'm talking about the TikTok ban, because everybody's talking about the TikTok ban. That's just like, what we're doing today? I've said in other videos that I don't think the TikTok ban will go through. I...

Fyreside Newsletter - 1/6/25 Hey Reader, Do you remember seven days ago? Seven days ago was the 30th of December for those of you who don't have your calendar app on speed dial. There's a huge difference between December 30th and January 6th: expectation. (No, this isn't a joke about historical events that happened on January 6th, but I see you.) New Year, New Expectations The first five days of 2025 came with an excuse. You drop a national holiday on a Wednesday and you've effectively...
