Email Newsletters

When somebody subscribes to your newsletter, they allow you to contact them directly – a privilege that should not be taken for granted. Authors own their mailing list and are not dependent upon other platforms such as social media. The commitment to write a regular weekly or monthly newsletter that provides value is a powerful incentive. Various tools and websites exist, although I use mailchimp for my newsletter.

On the other side of the mailing list, I subscribe to a number of newsletters. The examples below are a few useful ones that I always ensure I read:

• David Perrell has three ’email courses’, delivered via a daily email for a specified number of days:

• James Clear’s 3-2-1 newsletter every Thursday includes 3 short ideas from James, 2 quotes from others, and 1 question to ponder.

• George Mack’s Clouds & Dirt Newsletter each Monday includes mental models (the clouds) and leveraged tacics or tools (the dirt).

• Dan Quintana’s newsletter features his blog posts on scientific methods.

My monthly newsletter summarises the best things I read each month, as well as including free access publication links, presentation videos, project updates, and any new content or resources. You can see examples here or sign up below:
