Email Newsletters You Should Subscribe To

“Email Newsletter” is such a gross term. Can we retire it already? I like to refer to a more personal blogger email as Personal Style and the kind of emails that are full of resources, tips, and links as Value Based. The only problem is people know generally what you mean by email newsletter. Sigh.

While it may sound boring, there are some really fantastic Value Based email newsletters you should subscribe to. Like now. These are my personal favorites and ones that I look forward to opening each and every week! It’s a great way to stay informed without having to keep up all by yourself.

Non-Weekly Emails You Should Subscribe To

These awesome people don’t send emails at a set time each week, but whenever they come, you’ll be glad.

By Regina

Regina doesn’t send on the regular, but when I see her name in the inbox, I know it’s GOOD. She doesn’t mess around and either has some kind of phenomenal free training or a story and business tips that you will be glad you read. Sign up HERE.

Jane Friedman

This is for all the writers out there. Jane has a few choices: her RSS (which is one of the only RSS feeds I subscribe to) or The Electric Speed which is once or twice a month. You’ll get writing tips and insider info from the publishing world. I like that she isn’t firmly in either the trad pub or indie arena. You’ll get news on BOTH. Sign up HERE.

Paid Email You Should Subscribe To

I’ve only got one here, since I only pay for one. But this one is worth it for writers and authors!

The Hot Sheet from Jane Friedman and Porter Anderson

This is for writing and publishing nerds like me. At $60/year, it’s a bargain. You’ll get the real inside scoop and hear things before anyone else does. Sign up HERE.

What You Can Learn from These Email Newsletters

Have a Landing Page. 

You should have a page on your site dedicated to your email signup. That is, if it’s an important part of your strategy. This makes it easy for you to send a link to people or to create social media shares right to that page. That doesn’t mean it should ONLY be there, but a landing page is a must.

Be Consistent.

I love the weekly emails. I know which ones come on which days and I get all excited to read them. It’s a really great thing to look forward to and helps sets expectations with your readers. Those MATTER. More than you think.

Be VALUABLE. 

Some of my favorite people don’t write a consistent weekly. That’s cool too. Because their NAME is synonymous with VALUE. When I see their names, I know I want to open immediately. Whether you have one day every week or send a random day once a month, make sure those emails are full of rich content for your readers.

I’m clearly a huge email fan. Want to learn more about email? Check out these posts too!
