Well, look at you, clicking through! 👋 Welcome to the full post…
Here’s the deal—I love writing long-form articles, the kind of in-depth reads that dig into everything from saving for emergencies to finally understanding your spending habits.
These are the articles where I can weave in stories, jokes, and the odd quirky example to add personality to a serious topic.
But, here’s the thing—not everyone has time to sit down and work through 3,000 words right away.
We live in the age of SHORTS. TikToks. YouTube Shorts. Instagram Reels. (Full transparency, I’m not on social. I’m too busy Googling things for my wife like “how to make sourdough starter from scratch (again)”.) People want info fast. Snappy. Concise.
Which got me thinking… What if my writing could do that, too?
Introducing Email Shorts ✨
The idea here isn’t to abandon my long-form work. No way. That’s where all the depth, humor, and exploration lives. It’s like therapy for me. 🛋️🤔 But what I’m testing is using short, digestible emails as the preview.
These emails boil down the core idea of an article into a quick summary. Think of it as the SparkNotes version of financial advice. If the topic grabs your attention, you can click through to get the full, detailed version. If it’s not something that applies to you? No problem. You move on with just 30 seconds spent, tops.
Why It Works
- Bite-sized advice: Small bites are easier to digest, especially when it’s about money. 🫠
- Flexibility: You’re in charge. Go deep or keep it light. No pressure.
- Perfect for busy people who just need a quick takeaway and nothing more.
The Future of My Emails? 🤷♂️
This whole email-shorts idea? It’s an experiment. Maybe you’ll love the bite-sized intros. Maybe you’ll skip them entirely and just go straight for gold (aka the jokes and ramblings). Either way, no judgement.
The goal is to meet you where you are. Stressed and busy? Here’s a quick takeaway for you. Feeling ambitious? Dive into the full article.
Whatever you choose, I’m here, typing away, probably overthinking how many puns I can fit into one email. 🎉
