Writing a skimmable newsletter about SaaS stuff
I'm looking to grow signups on saasbase.dev, so this month I'm going to be writing a Dru Riley's trends.vc styled newsletter around SaaS topics - Payments, Auth etc.
Basically researching everything from tools, best practices, opportunities and putting it in a skimmable post for Indie Founders.
Has anyone written a successful newsletter? Thoughts/Ideas?
See @upenv's micro saas newsletter
Thanks for the shoutout. Here is the newsletter Micro SaaS Ideas with 7K subscribers and growing. We are launching a private community too for Micro SaaS builders.
Sweet suggestion @alexred
This is AWESOME @upenv! I'll definitely have to reference the work you're doing with Micro SaaS Ideas since many of the topics will overlap.
Do you have some time for a coffee chat @upenv?
Upen, was that you selling a SaaS ideas newsletter on Microacquire the other week? If so, why did you do that, given the newsletter is growing nicely? And did you get much interest? Enjoyed today's edition by the way 👍
No. Thats not me.
I did think it was odd given you were re-launching on PH the same day 😄it was a microSaaS newsletter, sounded a lot like yours. Maybe they didn't feel they could compete with you! By the way, I just posted my first newsletter - Podcast insights for entrepreneurs - inspired by you and a few others.
Cool. Keep going!!
Can you reach by mail, TQ
Yep, you can sign up at saasbase.dev and I will send it by mail.
For email design inspiration, I like https://reallygoodemails.com/
I like the idea of skimmable emails a lot
Reminds me a bit of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20581240 and https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-write-a-good-readme-file/
That HN article is a good line.
This is exactly what I want to go for: practice making emails short. Write, then rewrite to 50% of original length, then try to make it even shorter.
Sounds like a great idea. Let me know where to sign up!
+1 me too!
