Thejaymo’s Weeknotes πŸ—“οΈ

One email a week: my weeknotes, plus new podcast episodes as they land. No tracking, no upsell, unsubscribe in one click.

02 // A habit, not a funnel

This is a mailing list, not a marketing channel. Here is exactly what you are signing up for, and what you are not.

Since 2018 Β· Every week

What You Get

  • One email a week, written by hand, not generated
  • New podcast episodes announced in the same place
  • Links, recommendations, and the odd meme
  • The occasional quiet week when life gets in the way

No ads Β· No sponsors

What You Don’t

  • No paywall β€” everything I publish stays free to read
  • No sponsor reads, no advertising, no affiliate links
  • No drip sequences, no onboarding series, no re-engagement campaign
  • No list swapping β€” your address stays with me

If you would rather support the work than receive more email, that is a different page β€” and the zine is the thank you.

  • Two Names of Everything

    I’ve decided that internet SEO has pickled my brain, because I’ve also decided I prefer the way products are named online.

04 // back issues

Every weeknote is on the blog as well as in your inbox. The whole run, newest first β€” have a read before you sign up.

05 // Not an email person?

Email is only one way in. There is a feed for the machines, and a zine for the letterbox.

RSS Β· Atom Β· No signup

Follow By Feed πŸ“‘

If you keep a reader, use it. Nothing to subscribe to, nothing for me to see, and you get the posts in full.

The weeknotes feed carries exactly what the email carries, minus the envelope. Pick whichever you will actually read.

Print zine Β· Quarterly Β· Since 2019

Start Select Reset πŸ“‘

The analogue mailing list. Four times a year I post supporters a printed zine, folded and stamped at my kitchen table.
