Hey folks, it's been a while! Here's a small update for you.
Historically, the analytics available from this newsletter's provider have been disabled. However, I'm seeing a lot of spammy new subscribers, so I've enabled these analytics. The privacy policy has been updated to reflect this.
I proudly use Buttondown as my newsletter provider of choice. They're a privacy-focused small business, just like Dropped Bits. For the sake of completeness, here's what's now tracked in Dispatches from Dropped Bits HQ, this company newsletter:
The change to Dropped Bits' privacy policy is available in its entirety here.
Once upon a time, I used to share business updates in this newsletter and on the site's blog. I stopped that at the end of 2021, for a variety of reasons, but I kinda miss writing about running a microbusiness.
So, last month, I started a new blog about running and growing your own microbusiness: Two Common Cents Club. I write two articles a month there, on the first and on the fifteenth of the month.
I'm also trying something a little bit new there. While content is available freely on the site and you can subscribe to its RSS feed, I'm also adding a paid membership: it lets you comment on articles, receive new articles as an email newsletter, and gives you access to discounts to some of the tools and services I use to run Dropped Bits.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
I'm working on something new for solopreneurs: people who run a microbusiness, either full time or as a side hustle, mostly by themselves.
To that end, I'd love it if you just clicked on the option that best describes you below!
Thanks!
