Hi all,

You all are the best! Last week, I threw down the challenge of getting 33 votes for the weekly video. Did we do it?

Not only did we hit the mark, but we exceeded it by about 20%! Well done, everyone! That’s super fun. High fives and fistbumps all around.

As I said before, more votes mean better feedback for me. And I think we can do even better!

To put things in perspective, I have around 5,000 subscribers. For those who don’t know, an email newsletter open rate of 17-28% is considered good in many circles. Weekly Inspo Vids routinely has open rates exceeding 40% because you folks are fantastic.

So, that means we have at least 2,000 folks a week opening the emails (and most of you open them several times … hence the high “Total Views” figure). Forty votes equals just two percent of actual readers. Should we see if we can get it to 5%? That would be 100 votes.

I honestly have no doubt we can do it.

So, if you voted last week, please vote again! And if you didn’t vote last week, please vote this week!

And just so you know, based on the results above, last week’s video got a fan score of 77.6%. Not horrible. Not amazing. Pretty average.

I am very curious to hear what you think of this week’s video. It’s, um, a completely different vibe from last week. It’s on the topic of curiosity, which is always relevant to teachers. But it’s wild. I definitely have a prediction of how it will fare, but I’ll withhold my comments until you all can vote.

Let me know! And thanks for being loyal, engaged readers!

Mike
