Justin's Life

Welcome to my new blog. I plan to write about all sorts of things here, my life in Spain, ineresting things and ideas I've come across, places I've visited and so much more. Hope you enjoy it and please leave comments as your input is always appreciated.

Adios to the Eye on Spain newsletter
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 @ 1:05 AM

EOS newsletter ** Apologies if you received my notification email twice on this. Problems with the new email system **

It’s the end of an era!

We’ve been putting together the Eye on Spain newsletter every week (ish) since 2005 and today we are officially saying adios to the newsletter you’ve become familiar with over all these years (or less if you’ve only joined us recently).

But, there comes a point in time where paths have to change, businesses need to adapt to future trends and also continue to develop and come up with new ideas.

(And it’s also quite a lot of work to put the newsletter together every week!!)

That’s the point EOS is at today. We’ve always tried to be a bit different, coming up with new ideas, not afraid to speak our minds and always thinking “what’s next”.

So, we’re getting our creative juices flowing once more and we need to shelve the newsletter to make way for new ideas and new ways to communicate with our readers and members.

So we’re not totally going to stop bothering you ;) We’re still going to send you the odd email now and then about something which we pick up on of interest. For example, just last week I recorded a really good video with a friend of mine talking about the property market today. It’s a great video with some real honest insights and so I’m planning to share that with you over the next few days.

One of our readers has written a really funny book that we want to share with you too. You’re going to love it.

We’re also looking to enable regular community and forum updates by email, which many people have been asking for for…..erm…years!

In essence, after 6 years of emailing out a newsletter we now want to communicate with you in a different way. We want to see what you are really interested in, what you’d really like to hear about from us, etc. We also want to be able to adapt what you receive based on what your interests are (eg, property, rentals, lifestyle, travel, etc).

I’m really excited about some of the stuff we’ve got planned going forward. You’re going to see a much more creative and dynamic EOS back again and we look forward to you being a part of it!

Thanks for reading our newsletters over the years; I hope you have enjoyed most of them. We’ve made so many friends and met so many people through it that for that reason alone it was worth doing.

Un abrazo

Justin

Truly sorry to see this go. It was without doubt the best weekly newsletter. Shout if you think there is anything we can do.

Hi Justin (and the team), a shame as we've really enjoyed for the last couple of years now the EOS, it's been interestIng and very useful as well. I hope we hear more from you in the not to distant future!

Thanks for all the hard work and effort you've put in over the years.

Thanks...

Again, like the previous comments, I shall be really sorry to see the end of EOS but I appreciate all you say Justin. Very many thanks for all the interesting topics you have put together over the years and good luck with your future venture.

I did manage to visit the Costa Del Sol, including Sabinillas and Manilva. What a fantastic time I had in Spain. It was a pity that I couldn't get a visado and had to return to the US after just 3 months. Your newsletter and videos were a great help. When the Renfe gets past Fuengirola, it will help your part of the CDS. Good luck! (BTW, both times I passed through London, it was raining/misting.)

I'd like to add my thanks for all the extremely hard work you've put into making EOS so interesting and informative. I know how hard it is to write weekly.
I look forward to your new format, and wish you all the best with it.

Hey guys. It's not the end of EOS. It's only the weekly newsletter that is changing.

Hi Justin, its nice to know that you will continue to write. You are one of the very few people in Spain that I could or can trust. I lost about 20k to my own lawyers.....can't believe it, but they were Spanish.

I don't live in Spain but have been thinking about moving to Spain for a few years now trying to convince my wife. I found your newsletters gave me an insight to actually living in Spain highlighting both good and bad aspects of the life there. This is the first time I have actually participated in anything to do with EOS and I wonder how many other people like myself are just happy to receive your news letters for the same reason, I shall really really really miss them. I must just say that at the back of my mind it looks as if the recession has finally hit EOS also having to cut back, this does not look good to me if I am honest.

Ari said:

Go well with your new thing!

Camerachap said:
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 @ 9:57 AM

I'll really miss EOS. Although I don't live in Spain (I spend 3 months of the year on the Costa del Sol from January to April to escape the cold of an English winter) I find the articles and comments very useful and helps me feel part of a country od which I am very fond. I get rather upset when I hear ex-pats criticise the country they chose to adopt! If they think living in Spain causes problems, just try returning to the UK. It is no longer the beautiful country you were born on to in the '40s and '50s. I look forward to returning to Calahonda, Mijas Costa in January.
In the meantime a big, big thank you to Justine and team and the very best of luck in your new ventures.

Terry said:

Real shame to hear the EOS is coming to an end. We have a place in Costa del Sol and It's been really helpful having an independent information source on latest news from Spain. Best of luck with the next venture...

Will definitely miss the wealth of insights and the spot-on advice from "experts" EOS provided us.

Perhaps we should consider a joint venture ... as noted by a few "colonists" above: More and more Americanos are looking to live in Spain ... yet the rules and opportunities are quite different for us. While we (perhaps!) speak varations of the same language, the rules and regulations governing our lives in Spain -- and the EU for the matter -- are quite different ... and need further resources.

Most importantly, however, (IMHO) is that, given its social, political, and economic unrest, North Americans represent a great untapped market for your market efforts and pursuits.

Mucho gusto conocerte ... a traves de este periodico.

Talk soon, hopefully! :-)

~Bruce (and Russ)

Sorry to see the newsletter go. It was the only one on Spain which published the truth and gave both a balanced view and frequently, a right of reply to put counter arguments.
However, Justin please note, don't go the video route. Life is too short to watch them. I receive these a lot now as sites jump on the latest trendy bandwagon.
I just hit delete. Most are boring and all take far too long. A quick read is by far superior IMHO.

Justin said:
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 @ 2:07 PM

Thanks for all the comments!!

But we're not going away yet, it's only the traditional newsletter that we are stopping. We're going to try some new stuff and see what people think.

Gotta keep moving.

Thanks again.

Please stay a bit longer. life without EOS-N L will leave many more unable to raise their views and experiences about life in España. You have been a tower of strength for so many with their good bad and yes some ugly experiences who turned to you for vast amount of invaluable information. Thank you to you, Susan and the children as they must have missed out while you burnt the midnight oil. Speak you soon through your new venture.

Hi Justin
well like the others, I read your email and the above to say you were folding EOS. A shame because of the obvious hard core of readers you have. I know I send it on to at least 2 others when I get it.

You say you are moving on to new technologies, but will not be finishing completely but no hint to the "new technology". Presumably this will be things like Twitter and Facebook ? ?
Like a number of other people I wouldnt touch these means of "communication".
So Please let us have more information as to what you are doing

It is hard to bash out a newsletter, not knowing what is happening after you have "posted", is it going in the bin, being passed on, filed for future etc etc. I remember running such a newsletter 30yrs ago, hard to find the copy, continually bouncing off the wall marked Deadline, never getting any response unless it was a complaint. And that was in the days of post being the only means of communication when fax was still new and no one ever thought about getting one in the home. Oh how things have changed !!

Best of luck, keep us up to date on what is happening
regards
Dave

EOS is a BUSINESS. We may miss the Newsletters but if there isn't enough advertisers prepared to pay to be in them they are going to stop regardless of what the readers think

DaN Butler said:
Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 2:51 AM

I've only been a short-term subscriber but I've learned a lot in the relatively brief time I've been receiving the newsletter.
Like many folks, I'm sad to see it end but, am looking forward to what you come up with next (Twitter messages that link to interesting blog posts and/or articles?).
I can also see how many people would be interested in a Facebook page but, I just don't trust that company and personally loath Mark Zuckerberg.
That's neither here nor there so best of luck on your next endeavor!

Hi Justin, I've really enjoyed your newsletter and am looking forward to whatever comes next. Skimming through the comments, I wanted to mention that I totally agree with Bruce who mentions the untapped North American market. I can well imagine that lots of people like me read your newsletter for information about Spain in English but are not from the UK, hence many of the tips are simply irrelevant for us. And my situation is perhaps even more particular - I have a permanent visa for another EU country (Germany) but have no idea how or if this would relate to my moving to Spain. I suspect that even here, I might not be the only one. So, just a thought that this might be an area where more information might be welcomed. And I'd certainly be up for a joint venture if anyone's interested. :-) In any case, thanks so much for all your hard work and all the best for the future!

Hi Justin.

Just breathed a sigh of relief - sigh - to read that you are not totally desserting us. Looking forward to reading whatever you have planned for your avid readers in the future. Many many thanks for all your previous newsletters. An absolute "must" read. Good luck with the new venture.

A real shame. I guess the crisis is taking its toll everywhere.
Really enjoyed your useful and entertaining newsletters.
Will the forums still be up and running at all?
