Questions I'm answering
- Tools I use to write, curate, grow, and monetize my newsletter
- Do you need such an elaborate tool stack when you start your newsletter? May be not. IndieHackers use as simple as Carrd / Landing Page, Substack/Revue, Google Docs, and Unsplash for free images.
- You'll figure out your own stack when you publish consistently.
- For example: I started with EmailOctopus but couldn't figure out few things, went to MailerLite because I saw someone else using it but quickly got into problems, and then came back to EmailOctopus and stuck with it ever since. I found their 2k free subs option really useful because it gave me ample time to figure out how I would monetize my newsletter
- Short description of what each tool does and how I use it in my newsletter. Pictures wherever possible.
- End with "What does your tool and tech stack look like?" "Which tools are you going to try next from this list?"
