What's a good growth newsletter?

What's a good growth newsletter?

I'm looking for strategies for growth, e.g. how many blog articles a week should I write? is one enough? Are there any other ways to attract users?

    We've got one at IH that we don't (yet) heavily promote. The landing page needs work, but I'm super proud of the content: https://www.indiehackers.com/growth-bites

      Wow... I had no idea that was IH-created.

      The icon is the main place for improvement, IMO. It's the main reason I haven't really wanted to click on the links. Something about the open mouth, heavy lipstick and bared teeth is deeply disturbing! The filed down canines only add to it.

      I honestly thought it was just some random weird side project.

      I like them, since they are very short and can be consumed on the fly.

      +1 I’m also loving the IH growth bites. Concise, good variety of topics, and I like that the emails often have links to original articles with more information if you want to dive deeper

      I'm really enjoying the growth bites. Brilliant examples of small things that have worked for other people, without being too preachy.

      BTW if you do want to start getting the growth bites in front of more people, using SparkLoop to nudge existing subscribers to share more often would make a significant difference. Always happy to spend 15min helping you get set up ;)

    The best one I have seen so far is GROWTH.DESIGN

    Otherwise, growth is like entrepreneurship, better do & test than read and research.

      Oh, thanks that's super kind! 🙂 .

      Both great newsletters

    I just launched one for exactly that! (Starting and growing online products):

    https://make.dev

    It's a daily newsletter with one tip, from one source (like a podcast, article, or talk), and one action.

    That action should take < 5 minutes each day, and will (hopefully!) help your business each day. The whole idea is consistent forward motion, which leads to compounding growth :)

    I run MakerList, which often features growth articles from across the web.

    I started one recently: https://www.growthdesigninsider.com/
    Love Marketing Examples ;)
