Newsletter and exclusive content?

I made a post on the saitom box topic suggesting this after people said they couldn't make the dates or didn't know.

It would be great to have an opt-in newsletter. I want to be kept informed of things like site changes, newly added content, new books or artists, merchandise, exclusive content (see point below).

The point is to keep people who want it be informed. As a publisher you'll reach more people and grow your business as more and more people sign up. I know I will, I want to be kept up to date. Plus if a limited release is properly announced 2-3 weeks early I can plan beforehand to be free.

Also, what if artists did works specifically for FAKKU? Maybe small chapter or doujin release but as the site grows there can be magazine/book releases? That would doubly entice me to get a newsletter :P

Anyway, what do you think? Thanks and keep it up!

Not a bad idea. I remember all the lurkers who were ripshit when Fakku removed the content in January because "they didn't know" despite banners on the site and, like, three topics about it. If a newsletter had been around, some more people could have been informed.

I suppose the only potential problem is often Fakku release dates or other things aren't necessarily set in stone and also Jacob has a thing for surprises.

I think there are also practical purposes to have an e-mail newsletter. Yes, relevant info are posted to the forums but there is something about getting an update via e-mail that makes it a bit more direct, like how Nintendo does their Direct videos containing the latest digest.

It can be about anything really, such as asking how readers are enjoying the latest works from their favorite artists or inviting them to participate on certain forum polls or posts.

I'm sure Jacob has thought about special content given that he's worked with saitom to bring a pretty cool limited set to the western world. If they haven't already there are probably plans relating to exclusive content as milestones are reached. Let FAKKU grow bigger! heh.

There is kind of a newsletter already in place as I received a mail about some content last month or so.
So there may be a newsletter, it's only used once every blue moon I guess.
