Deepest Health launches Chinese medicine newsletter

Hey everyone,

I’ve decided to start an email newsletter! You have probably seen the opt-in form in my sidebar for a couple of days. I have big plans for that newsletter - so get on board as soon as you can. Eventually, I will be distributing an exclusive set of materials that will help you to understand basic Chinese medicine theory while giving you a way to organize your own thoughts about the topics discussed. I think anyone, regardless of their level, will be able to appreciate this when it comes.  I may also run mini-courses about various topics related to what I talk about on the blog.  All of this content will be absolutely free and exclusively for newsletter subscribers.

For now, you can expect a newsletter to come directly to your email about twice a month with information that is distinct from what you find on the blog.  My plans right now are to include:

  • Product and book reviews exclusive for newsletter members
  • Links to downloadable multimedia materials that I use to study Chinese medicine
  • Health tips that I’ve gleaned from the Classics of Chinese medicine as well as what I’ve learned experientially
  • Updates about what’s going on with Deepest Health (expansion, content changes, etc)
  • Summaries of blog activity such as the most popular posts for a given time period, interesting keywords used to find the blog and other little tidbits that folks may find interesting

My ideas about the newsletter will probably change over the next few months, so please be patient with me as I experiment with this new method of content delivery.

What’s the difference between RSS Subscription (and the email option that goes with it) and this newsletter?

Ok, so this may be a little confusing.  If you’re looking at the homepage of the blog, you’ll see two types of subscription option.  The one on top, the newsletter, is what I’m describing above.  Below that is the same RSS button (orange square) and its related email subscription form.  RSS, as described in the article linked in the sidebar, is simply a way to have my blog content sent to you either via feed reader or via your email.  That content is always the same as what you can find by surfing to the blog homepage.

So, I should be subscribed to both of them?

Yes!  The content will be different, but the quality will be the same.

I don’t want to get too many emails!

I totally understand.  For a while, the frequency of postings to the newsletter will be close to twice a month.  There may be times when it’s only once a month and there may be times when you get 3 or 4 in a month.  I won’t be sending you a barrage of unwanted emails, don’t worry.  The frequency of RSS updating will not change - I generally post 5-6 times a week.

Thanks!

Eric

    Great idea! Although, I signed up quite a while ago. :-) You’re keeping yourself very busy. I’m going back and reading all of your older Qigong posts this evening. Very enjoyable, thank you!

    what kind of books especially, are you willing to write reviews for ?

    Well nosidelka, books that my readers are likely to be interested in reading. In general, these are books relevant to Chinese medicine - but any topic that my blog covers is potentially game.

    Thanks for asking.
