Interviewing newsletter creators

Hi everyone,

I've been interviewing a few newsletter creators the past month and finally finished building the blog and publishing the interviews!

You can find the interviews at the Rad Letters blog.

Three interviews have been published so far, two of which have been Indie Hackers @spekulatius and @SaijoGeorge. I have a few more on the way, but if you're a newsletter creator who's interested in being interviewed, feel free to reach out 👋

Also curious to get some feedback from other Indie Hackers. Is this useful? What would you like to see more of?

    Great blogs so far! I just shot you a DM on Twitter - I'd love to be interviewed and talk about building Remotely Inclined if I may be so bold.

      Messaged you back on Twitter!

    I run one on community building. Feel free to reach out to me, but maybe not straight away. 😅

      Haha sounds good, I'll reach out in a month or two?

    I think it’s pretty useful. I think the non-maker content would be really interesting. Like the Chicago piece is something different from what we see around Indie Maker sphere. Always good to expand our perspective.

      Thanks, Wit! I think you bring up a good point. I'll make it a point to find a diverse group of newsletter creators to interview going forward.

    Hey Marcel, this looks great! I feel like I spotted this somewhere else as well so I may have submitted myself twice. Apologies if so.

    I recently launched Money Talk https://moneytalk.substack.com/ - would love to chat about the experience of launching straight into paid if you're interested.

      Sent you a message!

    Hey Marcel,

    awesome! Thanks for featuring my interview :) Have you considered interviewing Jens Lennartsson? He seems to be super on it when it comes to optimizing newsletter conversations...

    Great collection of newsletters on the site! Just curious, in your interviews did any consistent theme of problems come up? I am currently working on building a newsletter tool that works for the entire lifecycle and would love to chat, if/when you have time!

      Thanks! So far, the problems seem to be with finding/curating content and getting more subscribers. I don't have much more information to provide than what's in the interviews but feel free to email/DM me if you have more questions!

    I run a newsletter for indie makers and marketers that is totally curated from IndieHackers. ---> IndieLetters
