Issue 197 - Four Years of Liquid Weekly
Four Years Of Liquid Weekly
In August of 2021 I started looking for a regular email newsletter that would help me keep up with the world of Shopify development.
I was a long time subscriber to similar newsletters for other ecosystems such as Ruby and Javascript. As I searched I was unable to find anything similar for Shopify and I thought, maybe I should just do it myself?
I had never done an email newsletter and I felt intimidated by the idea of starting from scratch. Would anyone else be interested? How would I even find people who might be interested, much less willing to subscribe?
Thanks to some of my existing connections and the amazing Shopify community I not only found a few people who were interested but eventually gained a healthy number of subscribers for such a niche newsletter.
In addition, two years into the newsletter I scratched another itch and started the Liquid Weekly podcast with my amazing co-host Taylor Page.
Together we interviewed some incredible community members and even had the honor of talking with Tobi last summer. We're currently embarking on our third year of Shopify developers talking Shopify development.
We're so used to hearing stories of people hustling to turn ideas into thousands of dollars of income. But not everything has to be that way. I do Liquid Weekly because I enjoy it. I like to learn, I like developing in the Shopify ecosystem and I like talking to Taylor.
My greatest hope as I continue is that some of you might find enjoyment from it too
Happy Birthday Liquid Weekly!
