I’m close to making a couple of changes to this newsletter. Currently, the focus here is helping online writers grow their audience and make money as a writer.
I’ve realised that I’d love to help people beyond just writing - into the world of online teaching, running workshops, coaching and other income-generation methods, though writing will still sit at the centre of a lot of this, particularly in audience growth.
So I still plan to share plenty on how to write better, and the predominant focus will be on helping writers. But I also plan to share material to help you guys grow your business in other ways.
I’m about 90% sold on the name change to: ‘Untethered Leader’ - to reflect a focus on leaders who are writers, teachers, coaches.
I’m close to going ahead with this, but I’m opening the floor for comments should any of you have other feedback or better suggestions.
Let me know if such a change would prompt you to want to cancel or unsubscribe.
I am in no matter what you name the newsletter, although words do matter. I am in gratitude for your offerings and intend to flow money with my writing, so I appreciate everything you bring forth to assist with this. Untethered Leader sounds good to me as I am now showing up as a leader in embodying how creative expression flows Life Force Energy and sparks the sourcing of solutions for any big and pressing issues present right now.
name certainly doesn't change in or out for me. However, similar to Deb below - Untethered Leader doesn't really resonate. Sounds like a business-corporate name to my ears. And there is so much Bullshit out there on 'leaders' and 'leadership'. And- I don't think that's your intention Alex.
yet, if one is to 'oppose'... then propose.
I wonder about Untethered Digital Builder. Or Untethered Digital Leader, if you're really keen on 'leader'.
Untethered Leader doesn't resonate with me for writing, coaching, teaching but perhaps Untethered Literacy does. Or just Untethered. Or Literacy Untethered. Or something cheekier with Untethered. But Leader doesn't strike me as literary, in any literal sense, especially I today's world of such convoluted leadership. Wouldn't want to mislead anybody heh heh
I already love the emails, and finally subscribed so I'm a fan already and assuming I will love the further opportunities within the "paid membership" so thanks, Alex ;)
you're right Deb, I don't like the associations of leader with politicians either. But this newsletter would not be explicitly for writers, so it couldn't be about literacy. It would more be focused towards people who want to build their own personal brand/audience/business - people who mentor, present ideas, teach, coach etc.
Ya I get that as I’m one of those people. Rethinking … if your reach is only to the subscribers, then it’s perfect but if it’s a much wider public reach, maybe the leader word needs a tweak

yeah I'm with you man. Leaning towards this now: 'The Mastery Memo'
Cool, that's got a better ring to it - only niggle is similarity to Dan Koe?
Would you consider 'Digital' in there? Or 'online'? or maybe staying away from that.
that's true, will consider!
