Streamlined Guides: Updates On Upcoming Editions
February has been a month of intense research and reflection for the Streamlined Guides, the results of which I want to share with Streamlined’s paying subscribers here. After publishing nine editions of the Guides, I’ve learned a lot, received a lot of feedback, and finally decided to change the format.
My initial plan was to publish an in-depth territory report every month, but quickly realised that no single market can comfortably fit within the format of a single newsletter. Vietnam and the Philippines were both split across two editions, Indonesia sprawled across three, and could easily have filled even more newsletters.
I also completely underestimated the volume of work each territory report entails. It’s easily a full-time job, but as it’s currently not a full-time salary (not even close), I need to also work for other people. I’m also repeatedly hearing from readers that they don’t have time to read long newsletters.
So with all this in mind…
