Why Do You Write?
Sam Lessin is the founder and CEO of Drop.io, a fantastic product. He’s also the founder of new company, letter.ly. Letter.ly bills itself as the simple way to sell email subscription newsletters. For $2/month (that seems like the standard price), people can build a business around their written thoughts. Yes, the newsletter may be coming back around for another turn.
People have written for money for as long as there’s been a distribution method. Lessin has obviously put some thought into why the model could work for him personally. His reasons seem clear and fairly sound. I hope he enjoys the readership he seems to desire writing in the format he seems to prefer.
But this tweet is just childish.
