Share your newsletters and the product stack for creating the newsletter

I'm creating a list of newsletters and the products stack used to create, run, maintain and promote them.

Once the list hits 50 or more, I will share the link of the curated list of newsletters and the associated products.

No doubt Newsletters have been one the main sales funnel.
Newsletter creators have their own unique set of products they use to create their content. In depth evaluation of content creation method can be the key to make your newsletter a success.

There are plenty of products in market to create, run, maintain and promote newsletters. The best bet is to know about them and use them to improve your open rates, conversion rate, your content quality, etc.

You can copy paste points in your comments and fill them with text and product links:-

  1. Newsletter name -
  2. Link of Newsletter -
  3. Description of newsletter -

  6. No. of subscribers (Edited) -
  7. Avg. monthly revenue (last three months) -

      Nice to see a familiar face. And a great newsletter.

      BTW, how have we not chatted about you using SparkLoop yet?

        Hey. I’m probably going to look at a referral program but what’s been holding me back is figuring out what the rewards are.

        (and likely not this newsletter to start with - my podcast one first)

        1. 1

          Yeah I get that!

          We have one or two podcast newsletters seeing decent results already. Happy to chat reward strategy any time :)

    This is a little self-serving, but has been nice as a way for me to dogfood my own product — I offer a paid newsletter tracking my development of, well, my newsletter tool!

    1. Weeknotes from Buttondown
    2. https://weeknotes.buttondown.email/
    3. Development notes from Buttondown.
