hey no this is just a side project, I like it and I get to meet some cool people, but it's not really my main thing at the moment

appreciate it!

Ok you guys convinced me - I've moved up news section up so now it will be intro, news, then the ad. @nikad I can't put ads at the bottom since sponsors pay for visibility - if the ad is at the bottom of the newsletter, fewer people will see it, and advertisers won't want to advertise.

you're very welcome!

thanks for the kind words @earlyretirement!

I appreciate the support! :)

@Betsy Ross hey thanks for asking! I've switched to the advertising model, so that's how the newsletter is making money. Ends up being much better and simpler in the end. I'm also experimenting with the directory premium listings, it seems to work well in other countries so it might work here as...

So far, about the decreto - no one knows. As of today, it's not being published, so it remains to be seen whether this is merely posturing by the government (elections are this year) or if it represents the new reality. @Colin thanks mate!

Hey @Wally all good, thanks for asking! The newsletter has been going out every week, are you still subscribed? Or is it ending up in your junk folder?

it's from my home country so not really relevant to 99% of people. I'm not sure how it is with Americans, but I think most Europeans can get 1 year travel insurance like this for like $300-$500 bucks per year (various coverage). The downside is that I need to go back once a year to renew it...

thanks! yeah no insurance. The price is ok, it seems to be the average for an initial consult now. I'm just on random travel insurance that covers me up for a year (ends up being $30/month and covers up to $30k)

sales were ok, but nothing to write home about honestly. This is why I was thinking of the directory model, I found this one in the Czech republic that seems to be working well: https://www.expats.cz/directory so I thought about creating that for Argentina. She's ok now, thanks for asking! We...

That is true, but I argue that a directory like this would end up being a net positive in the long term. Case in point: My girlfriend needed to go to the hospital on the 24th of December. We first went to Hospital Fernandez (regarded as the best public one in the city), and we waited for an...

Great question. A few ways: - Facebook groups. Open a bunch of them, search for "Dentist" and then see what names keep showing up again and again. - Whatsapp groups - same process as above. - Personal experience - I've built up a network of people here so I can get a lot of recommendations...
