Faraz Fatemi’s Post

In the last week I have had four messages from businesses looking to create or rebrand their existing newsletters and they aren’t the only ones. Beehiiv is monopolising on the some 5 billion email users that exist globally by raising $32M for its newsletter publishing platform. “The company is sending out 1 billion emails per month from around 20,000 active newsletters (it didn’t disclose the number of unique readers, although that figure will have undoubtedly also risen). Newsletter users include both individual writers (plus individual “brands”: Arnold Schwarzenegger is among its customers) as well as bigger organizations like Boston Globe Media and Brex.” Newsletters are a great way of keeping in touch with your audience, informing them of relevant internal news and offering market commentary. They are also a fantastic way of elevating your personal and professional brand as a subject matter expert and thought leader in the field. I have been helping B2B clients across the wealth management and technology space to create compelling and captivating copy that well and truly powers their business. Are you ready to take your company newsletters to another level?

I signed up for beehiiv + exitfive this morning, and both ushered me through their marketing funnels using the same impactful tactic: content from PEOPLE instead of brands. I initially resisted even considering both--probably not uncommon in a world full of needless complexity and overflowing tech stacks--but they broke down my awareness wall through a consistent siege of posts from team members of all levels. It is impossible to be active on LinkedIn and not be aware of beehiiv. They are EVERYWHERE like a swarm of... well, bees I guess? 🐝 Every single post I saw from Tyler Denk 🐝or Daniel Berk 🐝, I was unknowingly inching my way through their funnel. My curiosity was piqued, my attention drawn. It didn't stop there, though. Just by following and engaging with their leadership team, I began to be unintentionally immersed within their hive and what honestly felt like their very culture. Team members of every level were following me and engaging with my content. I quite literally did not have a choice but to hear them out and, ultimately, check out the tool. I was impressed by what I saw but uncertain: did I really want to go through the painful process of migrating from my newsletter on Substack? [not nearly as difficult as I imagined, btw]. At first I wasn't sure, but the hive kept swarming. Posts about success stories, new features, and the power of the platform continued to reduce my internal purchasing friction. Before I knew it, I was signing up. The same thing happened with exitfive: I have been following Dave Gerhardt for some time now. He, and his teammates [Matthew Carnevale + Daniel J. Murphy] simply put out too much quality content to not find their way to my LinkedIn-loving B2B marketer's radar. Similar to Beehiiv, I resisted at first: I've seen my fair share of paid "communities" where those quotes are doing a lot of work. Again, their mid-funnel, value-oriented content assuaged my fears... and last night I joined exitfive. The takeaway? People resonate with people, not brands. Your C-suite needs to be posting on LinkedIn. Your team members too. If you're a marketing leader, you need to be the engine making that happen... because the results speak for themselves.

On January 19th, I'll be celebrating *3* incredible years in the cannabis industry. It's been a whirlwind of growth that I'm genuinely thankful for, and reflect on with amazement. Starting as a dispensary lead in Ascend's Montclair location, navigating through corporate roles like retail marketing coordinator for the northeast, social media coordinator, and associate digital marketing manager, to finally steering the ship as the Digital Marketing Manager of Content Strategy, each step has been a lesson and a milestone. While the feeling of leading a team of budtenders and serving the NJ medical market is hard to beat, there's a particular chapter from 2023 that I'm proud to share. It was the first full year where I dedicated myself to growing Ascend's *11* (SMM's will get it) Instagram accounts organically from the ground up. Let's dive into the numbers that made 2023 remarkable: 🤯Posted a whopping 579 organic feed updates, and this doesn't include stories.  😏Achieved an impressive 1.37 million (yes, MILLION!) organic impressions. 🤝Gained 11.38k new followers organically. 🥲Averaged an impactful reach of 808 people per post. 😶🌫️Garnered 28.66k likes, demonstrating the resonance of our content. 🤗Received 1.57k comments, fostering meaningful interactions. 🤩Accumulated 1.01k saves, indicating content value. 😎Achieved an impressive average engagement rate of 7.28%. These numbers all reflect what Blaire McKenzie, Olivia Ingram (now with Edie Parker, and I'm still so proud of you!), and Julia Bergstrom set out to do: build community online. Small but mighty, we are! Thanks for following along! 💨

Today, I'm excited to share some cool things I learned from a recent project.  I got to handle the social media accounts for a busy coffee place called Caffeccino Hub. I teamed up with two awesome folks: Mayank Ahuja and Aditya jain. But it wasn't just about posting nice pics of coffee and shakes.  Nope, it was more than that. It was about figuring out what our audience likes and making content they'd love. We put in catchy captions and eye-catching pics to get our followers hooked. Managing social media isn't just about getting likes – it's about connecting with people. This project taught me how powerful online chats can be in building relationships and loyalty. But here's the thing – teamwork is critical. Working with the Caffeccino Hub team showed me how important it is for everyone to collaborate smoothly. And yeah, there were some surprises along the way. From copyright issues to tech problems, social media always teaches us something new. So, what's the deal? This gig wasn't just about running social media accounts. It was about growing personally and professionally. It's about learning from mistakes and getting better. Here's to facing challenges, grabbing opportunities, and making a social media presence as awesome as a fresh cup of coffee. Cheers to new adventures and endless possibilities! ☕✨ #socialmediamanagement #CaffeccinoHub #LinkedInJourney

Over 5 million organic impressions in 30 days for Intract. How so? A global web3 community of 10,000 ambassadors. Who exactly is an ambassador? Someone who adores our product and is eager to support us by providing feedback, reporting bugs, sharing our story on social platforms, and connecting us with Web3 companies. Why are they so strong in web3? You get rewarded instantly for purely your efforts & merit. No delays of international wires, no judgement of where you are from. A few reflections along the way: 1. Every ambassador has a unique super power - discover that & you are set to grow. Create content, make partnerships, educate others & so on. 2. If you listen, ambassadors reveal secrets - grow 10x by setting up language specific forums for instance. 3. Trust begets trust - giving out rewards as a sign of faith for the smallest of contributions helped grow our ambassador’s confidence to deliver stellar outcomes later on. 4. Word of mouth >> Paid marketing - the strongest way to grow our ambassador community was through direct 1 on 1 referrals. 5. Community should be fun - gamifying the program through our own quests resulted in chatter decibels higher than when MSD walks out at Chepauk. These principle of being community-first, a staple in Web3, is becoming increasingly valuable in even Web2 sectors like SaaS these days. I'm curious to hear about other experiences in community building. Huge shoutout to Abhilashaa Sahoo (Abby) for her embodiment of the Ycombinator mantra “do things that don’t scale” during the early days of this launch. P.S.
