Reasons To Start A Daily Humor Newsletter

Or... welcome to Chortle!

Welcome to our very first post. I’m Greg Nix, the founder and editor of Chortle. If you want to know more about who I am or why I started this newsletter, please check out our About page.

I will be the first to admit that Chortle is but a teensy-tiny storefront upon the marketplace of ideas in the great public forum of the information superhighway within the infinite content universe. (Unfortunately now that I’m the owner of a media business, I am required to talk like a jackass.)

Indeed, we are starting from the bottom here at Chortle, which raises a natural question: why bother starting at all? There is, after all, virtually endless competition for the hearts, minds, and eyeballs of humanity.

Luckily, I have a good answer. Lots of them actually, so take your pick below.

REASONS TO START A DAILY HUMOR NEWSLETTER

• The entertainment industry is a hollowed out corpse and scavengers feast upon its bones.

• You haven’t found the right pyramid scheme… yet.

• The writer’s muse leaves you no choice but to weave prose!

• You can work while you’re pooping.

• You’re not charismatic enough for Instagram.

• You’re too old for TikTok.

• Elon ruined Twitter.

• Looking at LinkedIn makes you wish humans had never harnessed electricity.

• You’re swept up in the glamorous world of self-publishing.

• The abyss desperately needs another voice shouting into it.
