Hi there,
I have just created a newsletter for All About Berlin. You can subscribe here. This newsletter will be three things: occasional, casual, and conversational. I want to share interesting updates with you, to get your feedback every once in a while, and to hear your side of the story.
Why a newsletter? Because the internet is changing, and I must adapt. Over the last two years, AI-generated answers — particularly Google’s AI summaries — have halved traffic to All About Berlin. Social media algorithms also downrank posts with external links, so it’s harder and harder to bring attention to my work. I am still doing fine, but the writing is on the wall for the independent web. It’s time to slowly build an audience of my own audience, independently from tech giants and their algorithms.
This is also my chance to write to you directly, in my own language, as a friend. After 8 years of writing guides in the simplest, most succinct English, it’s nice to unwind and throw idioms around.
If you’re cool with that, then welcome! Or perhaps thank you, for opening your inbox to me. I will write to you at most once per month, but you can write to me any time.
Subscribe to the All About Berlin newsletter
P.S. I hope that you chose to receive this email, and that Buy Me A Coffee did not automatically sign you up for anything. In any case, this is the last message I will send you this way.
