For the newsletter specifically, I learned that it was a great way to accelerate my goal of it becoming a discussion. People generally want to share, and willingly do so when asked (my question each week is some variation of "What're you listening to?).
On the abstract side, it drove home the idea that I need to get out of my own way and just "do" the things I'm nervous to try.
What have you learned through the process? What seems to work best for starting a regular thread on your newsletter?

That is not abstract at all, that is great advice for everybody, everywhere, always. Just try and see what happens.
By the way, maybe you've noticed, but I've fallen in love with Songwhip. I didn't know it until I saw you using it.
And to answer your question (the one from your discussion thread), today it was, amongst many other things, this:

Songwhip is a miracle!
