Focus, focus, focus!
I now have more than 4,000 subscribers for my "Ask Gib" product newsletter, so I will focus all of my writing energy there.
Hello “Friends of Gib”:
Around Christmas of 2020, I started two experiments on Substack:
A “Friends of Gib” newsletter where I test drive new ideas, and
An “Ask Gib” product newsletter where I answer questions from the product community.
The winner is clear. The “Ask Gib” newsletter now has nearly 10,000 subscribers. I have answered nearly 60 questions, and the community has asked and upvoted more than 400 questions. So, I won’t be doing any more writing here.
Instead, I’ll focus my energy on “Ask Gib.” I’m having lots of fun writing, and it helps to have the product community ask and upvote questions. I don’t spend any time thinking about what to write — I answer the questions.
If you haven’t subscribed to “Ask Gib” already, please do. The essays have lots of “hearts,” high Net Promoter Scores, and the number of subscribers is growing fast! Over time, I’ll also begin to build a community of product leaders around the newsletter. And the “Ask Gib” newsletter is free, and it’s highly likely I will keep it this way forever.
Thanks for your continued support. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
Best,
Gib
