Why you should subscribe to my newsletter

In November of 2022, I moved my newsletter to Substack, and I have to say that it was the best decision I have ever made. I have been able to give more Los Angeles to subscribers than I could before. More events, more recommendations, and more insight into my love letter to this city.

Here is why you should subscribe to my newsletter now. 

1. No more incessantly checking the blog to see if I have posted something new. So annoying right? This information will be delivered to your inbox each month.
2. No more battling the social media algorithms to see This Ugly Beautiful City content. I post content on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Many bloggers have noticed a sharp decline in interactions with our posts and increased visibility of well-known businesses. It is hard to compete unless you have lots of money.
3. In my newsletter, I list the posts have been updated due to closures and openings in Los Angeles. I routinely revise posts so that they are the most current snapshot of Los Angeles.
4. You learn about Los Angeles small business alternatives to Big Box Stores. My mission is to keep Los Angeles unique and interesting. If L.A. becomes a vast sea of well-known chains, what would make you visit or want to live here if it is just like every other city?

If those reasons are enough, go ahead and subscribe now.

5. You get to see a monthly bucket list of things I will explore for future blog posts. These are great ideas for you to experience Los Angeles while I am writing about Los Angeles.
6. You find out when I have new items for sale in my Etsy shop.
