People are willing to pay to receive valuable content. Email influencers are rapidly emerging, and advertisers are entering this area. Why? From the side of subscribers: - the noise of socials: logging into FB and analogs in order to read meaningful posts is a bad idea - you get distracted, you forget why you came in, you will find yourself liking DIY videos with recipes. - when googling, you find a lot of low-quality information - how to understand what you can believe? - "I want to receive emails from people whose expertise I trust." Important: not a promo, not discounts, but valuable content - educational, supporting my awareness in the profession/topic, inspiring and motivating - User ready to pay for such content - it is cheaper than studying From the side of content creators: - advertising is getting more expensive and for small / start-up businesses, bloggers, the paid channel is too expensive and not profitable -> it is necessary to build up a loyal audience in order to be able to make offers and sales or monetize on advertising. - building an audience on social networks is now difficult and, again, expensive - for example, you start a group in FB / account in Instagram - there are not so many free methods of promotion - you have to advertise, plus you need to generate countless content - you need to post at least twice in a day - but emails it's a different story - you collect lead magnets, share them in free channels - the audience is growing. You don't need to generate a ton of content - weekly emails work great. So what: - There is an opinion that emails will mutate into the next reincarnation of social networks - more private, more customizable, more securing. Inbox is becoming a more private place -> tolerance to advertising mailings decreases. - The email-influencers' trend is still upward - it means that riding this wave, you can gain an audience quite quickly and cheaply - have time to use it! - My Surfaces.One service is designed to start your newsletter blogging as quickly and as easily as possible: write articles on a blog, run your content hub, send email newsletters to subscribers.

@nik_hazell Yes, I saw the same about Whatsapp - a pretty interesting trend which is looking for its distribution channel In Russia, for example, Telegram channels are extremely popular, I think it's the same trend too
