Spanish-Only.com Launching Weekly Newsletter

by Ramses on February 16, 2010 · 8 comments

In order to continue building our community and bond a bit better with you, the readers, I’ve decided to launch a weekly newsletter. A newsletter?! Yes, a newsletter. This Friday I’ll be sending out the first one, after which I’ll send one out every Friday.

Why a newsletter?
I ‘ve always wanted to make a newsletter for you, but the amount of followers of this blog wasn’t enough to make it profitable (both money-wise and time-wise). But now that the number of subscribers is rising, I want to give the loyal readers something extra.

What will I get if I subscribe?
Subscribing to the newsletter is completely free, but will offer some great advantages. First of all I’ll be sending you extra content which I won’t publish on the blog (in-dept articles, or special materials to help you getting better at Spanish).

I’m also adding some idioms to each newsletter. Where the Spanish Word of the Day posts cover just words, the newsletter will be filled with expressions and weird idioms.

And if that weren’t enough; I’m also writing my own free eBook on how to learn languages. Subscribers to the newsletter will receive parts of the upcoming eBook over the next weeks, and when it’s ready to publish they will get it right in their mailbox.

What more can I expect?
Interviews, lots of freebies, ‘homework’ to get you working on your Spanish, and more things I haven’t come up with yet.

Sounds good. What will it cost?
$0.00, and your time every week to read it.

Can I help?
Actually, you can. I’m planning on adding a reader column to the newsletter where any reader can tell their story, tips and/or tricks. If you want to write for the newsletter you can simply drop me a line with a pitch for your story.

Great, where can I subscribe?!
Simple. Use the box in the sidebar.

I really liked the first edition of the newsletter, especially the homework at the end. Having a call to action there at the end was a great idea. I’ve already watched 2 movies in Spanish today!

Hehe, thanks. I was thinking about what I do with with the students I coach, and I simply give them homework like “watch three movies this week” or “listen at least 30 hours of Spanish music this week”. Works great for them, so why wouldn’t it work for others?

I watched Star Trek, Kill Bill, and Spirited Away.

This language stuff is easy! ;)

Hi, Ramses. Just letting you know (you may already know) that the link to sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of the article about the newsletter doesn’t work. Well, that is to say it never sends a confirmation email. The side-link, however, does work fine and sends the confirmation email. I just signed up so looking forward to the newsletters.

How, that is weird. I’ve deleted it.

Thanks for reporting it :-) .
