I admit it: We conducted an experiment on you. Mua-ha-ha-ha.
For the past two months, we tested a bulleted version of Focus against our typical format. You were randomly assigned to receive the shorter or longer version.
Based on what we observed (feel like you’re in a Petri dish yet?), it seems like a top 5 format with short blurbs is the way to go. And since this month is our Halloween issue, we’re serving up resources with a spooky twist.
Evil genius vibes aside, it truly matters to me that we make this newsletter as valuable to you as possible. Feel free to email me with feedback. I’d love to hear from you!
