Ask IH: Do you have a newsletter?

Using Substack for my weekly AI newsletter AI Brews. Notion to organize, Carrd for landing page and Beam Analytics .

I'm also camp Substack. It's a good place to start. I don't have an audience and I figured all the tools Substack is building (Recommendations, Notes etc.) can help with growing my readership. I don't see the effects yet, but I'm also super early.

My newsletter is What The Product. I share insights and resources to find valuable problems and build profitable products.

Just built mine and has written 3 issues!

Check it here: https://stoic-cto.com/

I mainly discuss entrepreneurship and engineering.

I'm a big fan of Substack. So easy to use. I set mine up in minutes about a year ago and I'm at just under 2,000 subs now.

It's a passion project called Ancient Beat — I curate and summarize all the latest discoveries in archaeology, history, etc. each week.

Micro SaaS Ideas - 25,000 subs. Runs on Substack and Convertkit.

I use Substack because it has a lot of the main features that I wanted to simplify the newsletter process, namely subscribe page, evergreen posts that can be found on Google, email list management, and analytics.

Here's my publication if you're interested in checking it out: https://kahana.substack.com/

We're leveraging it as a way to feature creators and experts in our community and promote the hubs they create on our platform.

Hope this helps and curious to see what others say!

A friend and I are curating a newsletter and using AI to help assist with the copywriting. We have a pipeline set up where we put content in a Notion DB, pull from it, summarize it with a script we built, and then do editorial reviews and personal touches. We hope to provide AI news as entertaining as possible! Hopefully you enjoy our sense of humor :)

Can’t post links yet, but here’s a quick excerpt from Brief Bear. Happy to share the link directly if you’re curious for more:

TLDR; AI scammers: because grifting Grandma the old-fashioned way was too hard.
Scammers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to replicate voices of family members or friends and swindling people, mostly the elderly, by convincing them that their loved ones are in distress. These scams are becoming popular, and people are losing millions of dollars. It’s difficult for law enforcement and regulators to control these scams.

I write the Superframeworks newsletter.

Where I share 1 actionable framework for indie hackers and solopreneurs every week.

My stack -

• Dorik for landing page
• ConvertKit for sending the NL
• Feather for hosting the archive
• Sparkloop reactions to collect feedback
• Notion to share lead magnets and freebies
• Twitter to get organic subs
• Twitter and Swapstack to get paid subs
• Lemonsqueezy and Stripe to accept sponsorships

Hope this helps.
Cheers 🙌

Hey, building a newsletter called Unheard Roots where I share the stories of startups that have changed all of our lives!

I mainly use Beehiiv for publishing and Twitter for promoting the newsletter.

I've also used Carrd and Notion for organizing and building a landing page.

Throwing this out there as a fellow Indie Hacker: follow all these amazing Substack newsletters with my new project, Apricot. Don't let Substack take over your email inbox!

https://theapricot.io/

I didn't go with Substack because it's a little restrictive (no automations, etc)

I'm using SendInBlue atm - super cheap and not bad.

My newsletter is conversionexamples.com (the hidden psychology behind the most successful products in the world)

Kickstart Side Hustle - First 1,000 customer, creative/viral marketing case studies (5M users in 2 months) + marketing psychology laws

I just launched one and posted the first edition today → https://usegravity.app/newsletter

I'm using MailerLite

I write my newsletter https://jayjen.substack.com/ on Substack, like many others.

The Newsletter focuses on Entrepreneurship for Millennial founders.

I love writing so I do 90% of the writing myself, with ChatGPT aiding here and there for details.

Other tools I use:

• Notion (to write all my articles, store ideas, plan future articles)
• Midjourney (generating graphics. I see my articles with pictures get a lot more engagement)
• Excalidraw.com (for simple, hand-drawn diagrams and charts)

Growth is hard though. I've been consistent for 14 weeks, and hoping to go for another 100.

https://growthdojo.substack.com/

Just starting on substack https://startingidea.substack.com/

I like substack for writing, but has many limitation related to SEO especially for new user. you could check Ghost.org and beehiiv both of the are promising

I'm an AI researcher writing about Internet culture, AI and tech! I super excited to be writing at Post Truth on Substack! You can check it out here -- https://posttruth.substack.com

I'm a huge fan of Substack. It handles all the monetization and distribution back-end for your newsletter, and allows other creators on the platform to discover you. It has a bunch of social features like Notes, which is kind of like a Twitter-style scrapbook of what you're reading and quotes you like

Not to mention that the community of writers and readers is fantastic. Some of the best journalists in the world, some of the best writers and cultural commentators in the world, are moving there.

Thank you for the reminder., I actually do.

Love this, I had no idea of Substack until now!

Using Mailerlite to manage subscribers and to write and send the newsletter. Found its free tier to be helpful so far.

It's a personal finance newsletter for Indians - https://vrid.in/newsletter

Water Tech Weekly -- > https://watertech.beehiiv.com
All about Water Tech news, interviews and stats.
Runs on Beehiv.

I've had good luck in the past (and with a couple current clients) using MailPoet on WordPress.... nice because you can tie membership on the site to your mailing list.

At present, I've just launched a 14-part series newsletter on how to build SaaS on a WordPress platform. I'm still dithering on the delivery. Right now, you get the first issue transactionally, and I think what I'm going to do is have the subsequent issues drip to each subscriber, which I'll probably do programmatically on WordPress.

If it's of interest, the newsletter is called SaaSZebra and the signup is at peakzebra.com/saaszebra/ .

We're launching a newsletter written by AI, content is picked by us. Using beehiiv and openai and offering the whole setup as a SaaS for AI generated newsletters.

I am currently ideating on some ideas for a newsletter. I'd probably go with beehiiv.com or to stay loyal with IH convertkit.com.
