Hey Ryan, thanks so much for taking the time to read, it's really encouraging. I'll be writing a more in-depth post on email newsletters soon, so I'll link to it here in case it's useful for you and others.
I'm reading John Locke's self publishing book and he puts a huge emphasis on his 'Guaranteed Buyers' email list, which is a really interesting concept. He believed that he had gathered 1,000 people on the list who would buy anything he released. Not a bad place to be at all!
