Today I sent my last personal newsletter and then deleted my account. 

I called it Hello and Goodbye:

> Hello Friends,  
>  
> It's easily been 2 years since I've sent a newsletter to anyone on this mailing list. So long in fact you may not even remember having signed up!  
>  
> Don't worry you **don't** need to unsubscribe.  
>  
> This is the last newsletter I'm going to send before I delete this whole list.  
>  
> Before I hit delete, I have a question to ask:  
>  
> In the last few weeks I migrated [my blog](https://www.kenst.com/?utm%5Fsource=newsletter&utm%5Fcampaign=finalMailChimpNewsletter) over to [Ghost.org](https://ghost.org/?ref=kenst.com) which among other things allows me to send newsletters with each blog post I publish.  
>  
> Would you be interested in getting my blog posts directly in your inbox? If so consider [signing up](https://www.kenst.com/#/portal/signup).

It's always been a challenge to write for a blog and then decide what (if anything) is worth sharing in a newsletter to subscribers. I get timid about promoting myself when others opt into knowing more.

Thats primairly why I switched to ghost (that and I love supporting open source sustainable business). With each story I write, I click a button and send it to newsletter subscribers. Less of a goodbye and more of a hello.

Eventually I'll be able to create content that is only available to subscribers.

Now, would you be interested in getting my blog posts directly in your inbox?
