SUBSCRIBER ALERT: Video Tutorial + E-Mail Ends On November 30th

October 29th, 2008

Good evening to you all.  I am pleased to provide Grandich subscribers with the following updates:

1] E-MAIL UPDATES END ON NOVEMBER 30th

Subscribers will continue to receive e-mail updates until November 30th.  This will give subscribers time to bookmark the site or use various other tools (see video below) to receive updates, while weaning off real-time e-mail updates.

However, given Peter’s frequent posting of information in his new blog format, subscribers will not be receiving real-time e-mail updates that you were used to in the past.

Rather, with the rare exception of critical news, subscribers will receive summary messages every few days.  As such, if you want to continue to benefit from Peter’s commentary, you need to start treating Peter as a website destination as opposed to an e-mail newsletter.

As thousands of subscribers will already attest to, we view this as a very positive development for the following reasons:

  • The new blog format allows Peter to provide members with shorter but more frequent updates on any number of topics.  The old fashioned e-mail process was cumbersome, meaning Peter had to be selective about his many great ideas.
  • The new blog format provides you with an opportunity to interact with both Peter and fellow subscribers by posting comments after every post.  Quite often, Peter will respond to questions and strong commentary.  All posts are moderated, so don’t worry about spam, profanity and other such non-sense.
  • The new blog format provides subscribers with a simple but fast way to view Peter’s previous posts, interviews and media appearances with just one click.

2] 5-MINUTE VIDEO TUTORIAL WILL MAKE YOU A GRANDICH BLOG EXPERT

For those of you that have not yet made the transition (and even for those that have done so), we are happy to provide you with the following succinct but powerful 5-minute “how to” video.  Please take 5 minutes to watch it and post any questions in the comments section below.  If you need it for future reference, please refer to the FAQ section in the top right side of this blog.

Thank-you and enjoy the video.

Welcome To All Grandich Subscribers - Great Posts and Comments!

October 8th, 2008

Hey, gang. This is George from AGORACOM and I just wanted to quickly say hello to all of the Grandich subscribers that have not only started visiting the site but commenting on Peter’s posts as well.

In keeping with the AGORACOM /Grandich philosophy of “Quality over Quantity”, all comments are moderated to make sure intelligent and inquisitive comments abound, while the rest find another home.

We’ll be sending an announcement out about how to get the best out of Peter’s blog - but glad to see that so many of you are already interacting.

Regards,
George
