NPNR is (almost) back!

www.notprettynotrich.news

Hello friends,

It’s been a minute. I had intended to return to this newsletter sooner, but that didn’t happen. In fact, it’s been eight months since it last went out!

But I have good news. Well, maybe it’s just news. Either way, here it is: NPNR is back! I know what you’re thinking:

But stick with me, as there are some changes coming to NPNR. This is a short note to let you know what I’m planning, and what you, my beloved subscribers, should expect:

  1. This newsletter will now be published by Xyston. That’s my new editorial services company — I’m a full-time freelance writer, and there are some advantages to forming a business under which to conduct (some of) my writing. As such, that’s what I’ve done. Xyston is currently a one-man operation, although I’ll probably be looking for some help at some point in the next several months. If you have an interest in some part-time work (think editorial assistant type of duties), let me know!

  2. This newsletter was traditionally focused on finance — I’m changing that up a bit. Finance and money will still be a big focus of mine (perhaps the biggest), but I want to broaden the scope here. So, officially, I’ve changed the tagline. Not Pretty, Not Rich is now “a newsletter about doing things the hard way.”

  3. There’s a new URL: It’s www.notprettynotrich.news.

  4. I aim to publish on Tuesdays. Previously, I was sending it out on Fridays.

  5. I’m looking at monetization options. There’s some significant time and money that’s been invested in getting NPNR to its current state, and as such, I need to find a way to make it pay. I’m not adding a premium subscription tier, but I will be looking at the possibility of including ads and bringing sponsors into the fold. Of course, I don’t anticipate that this will have any effect on the content.

  6. I aim to start publishing weekly again in February. My main issue, when I initially put NPNR on hiatus, was that I was strapped for time. I hoped to streamline my work and get more organized in the meantime (and I have), but I’m somehow busier than ever. I don’t anticipate getting less busy, so I guess I’ll just need to lean into it!

You can consider it sort of a “soft reboot” — those are trendy these days. I mean, they’ve done like three different “Spiderman” movie series since I’ve been in high school. So, why not a new, improved (at least slightly different), rebooted version of NPNR?

That’s all for now. As always, there are numerous ways to get in touch with me: Xyston, my personal website, Twitter, LinkedIn, or send me an email at sam@xyston.co.
