Our 7 Favorite Newsletters
Newsletters have been around for many many years. Probably even for hundreds of years. With the rise of email marketing in the early 2000’s, sending news updates and other information became more common. Yet, in the past 4 to 5 years new types of online publishing platforms have appeared which made it easier for publishers to monetize their content. For example, in 2017 launched Substack now claims to have more than 500.000 paid subscriptions, generating over $15 million of revenue per year. At the same time, the largest social media networks and search engines of the world dramatically changed the face of traditional print media. Following the above mentioned developments, we wanted to share our current most popular selection of newsletters with you.
