(2022-10-23) Bashir Writing Is Building

Ibrahim Bashir: Writing is Building. I’ve been thinking recently about what I’m building with this newsletter. More and more, I find myself treating it like a product

My north star metric is essentially “size of actionable audience”, but it’s still unclear what action I want that audience to take - the monetization paths that seem to be work for most creators (paywalls, sponsorships) don’t fit my ethos, and the ones that have materialized (teaching, consulting) are really hard to do repeatably.
