Email Isn’t Dead! Here Are 15 Email Newsletters to Subscribe to & Learn From
Written by:
Edited by:
The must-read email newsletters on our list include a Dutch plant shop, a Welsh denim brand and 2 Squarespace designers
“I don’t want to bombard people with emails.”
Followed by,
“Our supply chain / publishing cycle / business model / XYZ doesn’t allow us to email people regularly.“
For the last 2.5 years, when these came up, we’ve made a serious face, nodded our heads in grave compassion and moved on.
But no longer!
It’s time to break through these barriers and limitations and claim what’s rightfully yours: the inboxes of your subscribers, now and forever
It’s time for us to get real about this:
Both objections to sending more (or better) emails are the results of fear and trepidation.
Or, to quote Jenny Shih (who would’ve been #16 on the list), “crappy thinking“:
- Resenting the bad newsletters in your own inbox and projecting those feelings onto your own audience (“OMG they will unsubscribe”)
- Feeling guilty even THINKING about sending an email a week, every week (so it will never ever happen)
- Worrying about how difficult it will be to wield those weapons of mass emailing (instead of getting affordable support from a tech-savvy VA)
- Expecting instant gratification, aka “sending one sales email to 50 people, making no sales and dropping that newsletter idea altogether”
- Allowing your imagination to be polluted by “what everyone else does” — instead of taking inspiration to do things differently… (for example, by borrowing ideas from someone outside your own industry)
And perhaps most importantly, failing to realise this:
As soon as you take responsibility for marketing,
reading other people’s newsletters becomes part of your job
That’s right: Inbox Zero is for personal email addresses.
The best thing you can do for your email marketing is to subscribe to the best newsletters you can find, and read them regularly. You’ll learn things that no book or classroom experience can teach you.
But we know that our assertions are worth NOTHING to you. You want proof. And proof you shall receive.
Over the summer, we’ve subscribed to dozens of new newsletters and unsubscribed from a couple more.
Then we carefully curated 15 specimens to show you what’s possible if you allow yourself a bit of artistic freedom with your email list. (In full disclosure, this list deliberately doesn’t include a single client, supplier or personal acquaintance.)
Each example was chosen for at least one specific lesson we can learn from it — about frequency of emailing, topics covered, voice & tone, or even email design.
Then we grouped them into 3 broad topics:
- Marketing & Copywriting;
- User Experience, Customer Experience & Web Design; and
- Purpose (in life & work).
Here’s your task as you go through this list:
Determine which topic is closest to your own line of work.
Pick an example from that group and use it for inspiration in your own business. (Difficulty: easy)
Pick an example from the group you feel least familiar with, and let it inspire your own practice. (Difficulty: advanced)
Ready?
Let’s go!
5 Marketing & Copywriting Newsletters You Shouldn’t Miss
1 Marsha (from Yes Yes Marsha <– follow link to sign up)
Who it’s from:
Marsha Shandur is a storytelling expert who helps people to be unforgettable.
That’s what it says on her website — but her emails are so much more: they feel like a personal conversation, they’re incredibly entertaining, we’ve learned a gazillion things from Marsha — and she really cares about people & the planet, too.
What it is:
Weekly newsletter about storytelling and communication. Marsha alternates blog posts with exclusive content that you’ll find nowhere else:
~~**in case it’s not clear from that: this is a non-blog week, which means this story, piece of advice, and the update on my NEWS is all only in your Sabine-inbox and my Marsha-Sent box**~~
What we can learn from it:
- Show that you care by humanising even the tiniest details — such as the unsubscribe info at the bottom:
Copyright © 2019 Marsha (Yes Yes Marsha), All rights reserved. You’re getting this email because you signed up at www.yesyesmarsha.com. Thanks!
I <3 real mail. My Yes Yes Address is: Marsha (Yes Yes Marsha), etc., Canada (The World, The Solar System, The Universe.
If you choose to Unsubscribe, you’ll be removed from all mailings. If you want to unsubscribe from only a particular email series (like UYB or YYQ), hit reply and I’ll make it happen. Thanks!
- Add a secret message to every link, which you can only see if you hover your mouse over it. It’s super addictive:
- No need to be perfectionist if that’s not your style. Marsha’s emails feel like they’re coming from a friend because she talks about things like frizzy hair, recording podcasts with a baby strapped to her back, or getting drunk from a single glass of port & tonic. It’s a refreshing reminder that it’s OK to let our own guards down, too.
Me and my giant humidity hair are off on a social media break until Monday. See you then!
2. Val Geisler
Who it’s from:
Val is an email copywriter for B2C SaaS companies and the founder of Fix My Churn.
What it is:
Emails about email copywriting (very meta, I know). You’ll find weekly email onboarding teardowns, general tips about email writing, and the occasional offer to work with Val. Frequency varies — at the moment we get her emails almost every day, but that may be just a phase we’re going through :-)
What we can learn from it:
- First impressions matter, so spend some time tailoring that double-opt-in email that your email provider automatically sends out to new subscribers. Just look at this beaut from Val:
- As you see below, there’s no need to faff around with fancy-schmancy email design. A clean, large font may be all you need.
- Goodbye, |FNAME|! Not every email has to start with a salutation. There are many other ways to add that warmth.
- And if you’re in B2C SaaS, you’ll learn a shed load of email wisdom as well.
Subject: Next step: tell me it’s really you
You signed up to get a copy of The Dinner Party Strategy (which will also come with my weekly emails).
Here’s an email pro tip: a double opt in is always a good idea when a form is on a homepage. So let’s confirm that you’re really you and not a bot, shall we?
Click here to confirm you’re human
Once you click that button above you’ll get your very own copy of The Dinner Party Strategy.
I’ll be back in your inbox with more email goodness soon.
-Val
3. Drayton Bird
Who it’s from:
An 83-year-old British copywriting legend who’s worked with all the greats. We’re surprised he hasn’t got a cameo in the Mad Men series.
What it is:
“Helpful hints” about copywriting and advertising in general. (Hat tip to Mike Garner for making us aware of it.)
What we can learn from it:
- How to write subject lines that make people want to read your emails. They’re always intriguing — by asking a provocative question (“The worst ad ever?“), reverting our expectations (“How to Be Conspicuous!“), playing with our worries (“7 copywriting sins that kill businesses“) or simply being absurd (“When you’re up to your neck in alligators“).
- Honest advertising is not a silly pipe dream. Truly great marketers and sales people care about telling the truth. Many of Drayton’s emails revolve around this theme, and they show off the timidity of those who use sneaky tactics.
My helpful hint for today, is so brief and simple I’m tempted to apologise for giving it.
It is: Start with the truth, not what you wish it to be.
- Stop worrying so much about marketing. Do it — and learn from the results. Oh, and read Drayton’s emails. They will speed up the learning process.
I’ll wager that if you communicate more often than your competitors, you will outdo them.
Keep at it till it doesn’t pay … then give it a rest and try again.
There is a direct relationship between profit and communication. The more you tell the more you sell.
If you spend 5 minutes a day thinking of reasons to talk to your prospects and customers — things that might benefit or interest them (not you) — you will find it the best ROI you ever had.
4. TrendWatching | Innovation of the Day
Who it’s from:
A global trend-watching agency focused on the B2C space.
What it is:
A daily email showcasing one specific innovation and explaining which broader trends it represents:
What we can learn from it:
- Yes, it’s OK to send a daily email! Just make sure that it follows a routine format so your readers know what to expect. If they haven’t got time to read your email, people will simply delete or file it. (I sometimes binge on a month’s worth of innovations while waiting for my train.)
- No need to write about yourself, or even about your offer, all the time. By nature of your work, you’re immersed in knowledge that your readers don’t have easy access to — share it in tiny snippets to add value to their lives every day.
- These emails are also worth subscribing to for the content itself. Who knows, something you spot here might spark the idea that will revolutionise your business!
Powerful new innovations fuel new customer expectations, and those expectations spread. That’s why you should be relentless at looking at innovations and asking: when customers see this, what will they expect of us?
5. Seth Godin
Who it’s from:
American author, former dot com business executive and all-round legend.
What it is:
Seth Godin writes a daily blog — and these emails simply bring the latest post to your inbox.
What we can learn from it:
- Yes, it’s OK to send a daily email! (Hold on, did we say that before?)
- How to express confidence. Whether we read a short or a long email that day, every word and sentence is chiseled to perfection. Seth Godin knows how to play with language to express passion, thoughtfulness, urgency and wisdom. Often all of the above in the course of a single email. Here’s an example to seduce you:
- How to cut through the noise and BS in marketing and focus on what really matters: having an impact. It’s great to have a daily reminder of why we’re marketing anything at all: to change our culture, to change people’s beliefs and behaviours — and make the world a better place.
5 UX, CX & Web Design Newsletters Worth Signing Up To
6. Kerstin Martin Squarespace Studio
Who it’s from:
Squarespace expert and online educator with a calm and clear attitude. Almost a bit like the Bob Ross of web design.
What it is:
A mix of Squarespace news, web design tips and personal news about Kerstin’s life as an online solopreneur. Delivered roughly every 10 days.
What we can learn from it:
- How to make a sales offer that feels warm and genuine rather than pushy and gross. Kerstin’s tone is so genuine and personal, her connection to her subscribers is palpable even if you’ve only just signed up:
Early Bird Special 30% Off
Expires on Sunday, July 21 @ Midnight PST
Many have been waiting for this: Squarespace Classroom MS is almost ready for launch! Thank you so much for your patience in waiting for this course, between my illness earlier this year and our recent move it took longer than O wanted. Trust me, my boss was not happy! :-)
For those of you who are not aware: I have teamed up with MemberSpace and created a course that shows you step-by-step how to host an eCourse on Squarespace with membership functionality. How does it work?
1. You sign up with MemberSpace.
2. You build your course in your Squarespace website.
3. You hide your course pages behind MemberSpace’s paywall.
4. When customers purchase your course they create an account on your website with their own passwords that they use to log into your course.
You can set up recurrent membership fees or one-time payments. In all cases course participants will have their own account and individual logins.
CLASSROOM MS LAUNCHES ON MONDAY, JULY 22
-> More info & early bird special
- How to give bad news clearly and compassionately. Like many solopreneurs, Kerstin is having to pare down her offering from time to time: for example, by reducing the number of Facebook groups she manages. Just look at her clever word use (“consolidate”, “agonizing”, “perk”, “actually makes a lot of sense”) and the transparent way she explains her decision:
4. Consolidating my Facebook Groups
Currently I manage four Facebook groups and this is simply too much. I’ve been agonizing over this for a while because I did not want to take away this perk and also because I do enjoy the interaction with my students which also helps me understand where people are struggling and then I can adapt my courses accordingly. Going forward there will be two groups: the Classroom group will stay as it is, and the three groups for 101, 201 and BizBox will be consolidated into one main group over the next few days. This actually makes a lot of sense because many of my students take multiple courses anyway. Access to this main group will only be available for Designer Pro and Professional Plus bundles. Purchase one of the individual courses before August 15 and you still get access to the main group.
- How to use the weaknesses of a big player in your field to your advantage. I use Squarespace, and most days I thank my past self that I chose this platform over the more complicated competitors. BUT! The Squarespace team keeps making changes (improvements) to the UI and functionality without announcing them. Most of the time I figure things out as I go along. Still, a lot of improvements happen “undercover”. That’s where Kerstin swoops in with her Squarespace news to keep me apprised of the latest developments.
(What changes happen in your industry that you could pass along to your readers?)
7. Sian Richardson
Who it’s from:
Squarespace Expert, Graphic Designer & Creative Entrepreneur and so f*cking cool that we’re almost a little frightened of her.
What it is:
Irregular musings on brand design, creativity and life as a service-based solopreneur.
What we can learn from it:
- How to push aside your fear of judgement and let your true self come out to play in your biz.
Sabine: ‘I can feel my heart racing with excitement when I read her emails. Occasionally, my ears turn red.’ (Try it. You’ll look amazing.) - Everything else relates to that — whether it’s thinking about time and money, designing your brand or setting up your website, it all comes down to the same thing:
-> I think half the key to separating yourself from everyone else is to stop giving a fuck what everyone else in your industry is doing. This has been a through-message of my work for almost 10 years… And I know without a doubt it played a big part in getting me to where I am now.
8. Baymard Institute
Who it’s from:
A Danish, independent web usability research institute that conducts original large-scale research studies on all aspects of the e-commerce user experience.
What it is:
Whenever they publish a new article, it’s sent straight to your inbox. They usually email about twice a month.
What we can learn from it:
- How to communicate a technical limitation gracefully. Sabine still reads their emails as emails — because they do tend to look OK. But we appreciate their message nonetheless:
(Note: Unfortunately, e-mail and RSS don’t support advanced layouts and features. If the graphics in this article look strange, you may want to read the article in your web browser.
- Yes, you can send a lot of really detailed information via email. Not every newsletter has to be an email “selling” the click-through to a blog post. Just make sure your content is the perfect match for the people who’ve signed up to get it.
- How to write titles for reports and blog posts. The Baymard team really knows how to create a “burning platform” to incite action. (And of course, reading these emails will make you a bit of a UX expert.) Here are a few of our favourites:
Search UX: 6 Essential Elements for ‘No Results’ Pages
9 UX Requirements for Designing a User-Friendly Homepage Carousel (if you really need one)
The ‘Order Returns’ Experience is Critical for Customer Retention — Yet 54% of E-COmmerce Sites Have a Returns Interface with Usability Issues
E-Commerce Sites Need to Respond to Some or All Negative User Reviews (87% of Sites Don’t)
9. InVision
Who it’s from:
The digital product design platform powering the world’s best user experiences. Often sent by their CEO, Clark.
What it is:
A curated collection of InVision blog posts, plus a smattering of design articles from around the web and one or two global design vacancies.
What we can learn from it:
- Everything about design. We kid you not — InVision has been a huge factor in Sabine’s career from when she first started as an Editorial Administrator at LEGO Group until today.
- What makes a website a good website?
- How can we create accessible experiences that work for diverse audiences and promote inclusion?
- What tools help me to pick a great colour scheme? No question remains unanswered.
In fact, the longer you read, the more questions you’ll have. And that’s a good thing.

How screen readers work
I’m self-employed — what are my money options?
- How to make an old-school “newsletter” work in the 21st century. It’s really just a collection of content links — there’s not much copy at all. But the selection and presentation is spot on, with short intros and delightful link copy.
Which takes us to the third point:
- How to add fun to any email, even if you’re in B2B. Sabine’s a sucker for puns. She secretly wishes she had written every single one of them. They’re hilarious and not at all embarrassing or corny. Just look at these examples:

10. Zendesk Relate
Who it’s from:
Zendesk is a customer support ticket system and help platform. “Relate by Zendesk” is their online magazine and email newsletter, and also the name of their customer experience conference.
What it is:
An infrequent newsletter collecting the best features from the online magazine.
What we can learn from it:
- How to create content that’s an extension of your commercial offer — instead of a barrage of sales emails. This is what creates engagement and trust that extend beyond discount codes and special offers.
(“Yeah, but that’s easy for THEM“, I hear you say. “They serve a specific audience!“
— Here’s the thing: So do you. The very fact that people have subscribed to your emails means they have something in common — a desire to know and learn. What is it and how can you give it to them?)
FEATURED ARTICLE
Would you pay for customer service from a human?
Some wireless companies are charging a premium for choosing to speak with a phone agent over self-serving. You might wonder if this is our future, but ICMI’s Fancy Mills says it’s not likely.
- How to extend that content even further. You might expect customer service tips form a help desk. But what about leadership? Workplace norms? Wellness? — Relate regularly features topics that are related to the worlds of its readers (see what we did there?)
- You don’t have to email every week, or even regularly at all. Looking at our inbox, there were months that we didn’t get a single Relate email. While we can’t say we missed them, such gaps and pauses don’t make us like their emails any less.
5 Purpose-Driven Newsletters That Can Change Your Life (and Business)
11. The Scrapbook Chronicles
Who it’s from:
The Hiut Denim Co. make jeans in the Welsh town of Cardigan. They proudly make the best jeans they can — not the most they can. And they send a weekly newsletter called The Scrapbook Chronicles.
What it is:
A cult newsletter whose open rate exceeds almost any industry standard. In the words of Co-founder David Hieatt,
It is one of those rare newsletters that is actually looked forward to. Hiut Denim Co regularly receives gifts through the post thanking them for sending it out. And it delivers results. It has grown the Hiut Denim Co 25% each year for the last three years. And each year for the last three years, it has turned a profit.
What we can learn from it:
- Your subject line can become your brand. If you’re tired of fiddling with subject lines to increase your open rates, try writing emails that are so good — people will keep reading them even without tricks, techniques and tactics. It’s worked for Hiut Denim — so why shouldn’t it work for you? All it takes is effort and a dedication to building your reputation.
- Just be yourself and share what inspires you. There’s no need for a complicated brand rulebook about what can and can’t go into your emails: just show up with a desire to serve your readers the best of the best. The Scrapbook Chronicles contain anything from viral videos to brand theory, from health advice to film tips, sustainable product discoveries and omelette recipes. The variety doesn’t feel random, and it’s part of what makes these emails so exciting.
- Have something to sell? Slip it in between super cool, enlightening stuff. Not only will your offer look better surrounded by such amazingness; your sales pitch will feel effortless too. Plus, you’ve already given so much value — the laws of persuasion say your audience is primed to reciprocate.
12. Have I Got Social Enterprise News for You
Who it’s from:
David MacGlashan at The School for Social Entrepreneurs. His work is epic! Thanks to Annie Moon for recommending his emails to us.
What it is:
A weekly roundup of news that affect the social enterprise space. Mainly geared to UK businesses, but some of the content is valuable to do-good businesses anywhere in the world. Plus, it’s extremely entertaining!
What we can learn from it:
- Turn your newsletter into a proper brand. Maybe it’s because they’re both called David, but Messrs Hieatt and McGlashan seem to follow a similar strategy of naming their weekly emails to make them recognisable. David McGlashan takes this a sip further by adding a zesty twist to the otherwise possibly dry prospect of social enterprise news:
And now, the news: Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You
Featuring the word ‘kumquat’ for the first time: Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You
Home again home again jiggly jig: Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw! Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You
Small talk: Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You
- If you’re not the boastful type, try some self-deprecating humour. Sabine: “I don’t usually share newsletter content on social media, but these calls to action at the top of each newsletter made me LOL enough to consider it”…
Post this nonsense to Twitter
Share this drivel on Facebook
- What’s the most-loved thing about your newsletter? It might be the part you consider the supporting act: those tidbits from your life that you’re secretly thinking of scrapping next time. If that’s you, don’t! It’s nice to sense there’s a human writing these emails. Your unique personal perspective it what sets your email (and your entire business) apart.
A bit of panic earlier this week. I didn’t really have anything to put in this newsletter. What’s the first thing you do when you find yourself in such a situation — scour the internet looking for relevant articles? Put out a call to your colleagues for items to be included?
Nope. The correct answer is that you waste some time Googling ‘has there ever been no news?’ It sounds a ludicrous question (the best ones often are) but it turns out there has indeed been a day with no news: 18th April 1930. The BBC news announcer simply said ‘there is no news’ and then they filled the rest of the time with piano music. It sounds like bliss.
Fortunately, some good stuff has come in. We can leave the piano music for another week.
@davemcglashan
13. Medium Membership: The Edition
Who it’s from:
Medium is an online publishing platform with a paid membership that allows deeper engagement with Medium content, wider access to articles and various other perks. Siobhan O’Connor, VP of Editorial, sends regular updates highlighting the most interesting content from the community.
What it is:
A weekly “member-only newsletter of hand-picked stories to keep you informed, sane, and entertained”.
What we can learn from it:
- VIP content can add some extra (biodegradable) glitter to your customer relationships. Consider tagging your subscribers so you can send exclusive content to people who bought from you in the past. And instead of just reminding them that they might need a replacement soon — or that they liked jasmine tea a few months ago — add value to their lives with curated recommendations.
- If you’re sending a list of recommendations, warm it up with a paragraph or two letting your readers know what made you pick these and not others. It’s important that you sign this off personally — or the email will feel careless instead of extra special. Medium learned this the hard way, and they improved The Edition since they got this scathing bit of feedback.
- Add a quote from the post you’re promoting to draw people into the content. It’s so intriguing, more people will want to click through:
These frozen dinners served as floats that usually saved me from drowning in a sea of cultural whiplash. (How Frozen Dinners Sustained My Immigrant Family by Samantha Mallari in ZORA)
Optimistic beliefs and forceful determination may not move mountains, but they can help boost self-discipline and improve performance. (What Does Willpower Look Like in the Brain? by Erman Misirlisoy in Elemental)
If a book changed someone’s life — whatever the topic or style — it was probably worth the investment. (What If I Said No? (And Other Questions to Consider Daily) by Ryan Holiday in Human Parts)
14. Ethical Consumer Magazine
Who it’s from:
Ethical Consumer is a not-for-profit UK magazine and website which publishes information on the social, ethical and environmental behaviour of companies and issues around trade justice and ethical consumption. (Information taken from Wikipedia)
What it is:
A weekly newsletter from the Ethical Consumer team, containing the latest info about their product guides, news and discussions, updates on campaigns and boycotts as well as competitions and special offers.
What we can learn from it:
- Not all emails need to come from the same person. Some Ethical Consumer newsletters come from Tim, others from Sophie or Clare. It’s always easy to see that an email is coming from them because of how they set up their sender info.
- Stick to one big idea and one offer per email — and you’ll never run out of content ideas again. I’m often amazed at how much the Ethical Consumer team get done with such a small team. Every week, it seems they have a massive update for me. And that’s on top of the actual magazine and their annual conference! Looking at their newsletter more closely, you’ll discover that they often stick to the “Rule of One“. This means they can confidently send an email each week without ever running out of steam.
- Take a stance, from your subject line to your PS. In August 2019, the team sent an email with this thought-provoking subject line:
Ditching supermarkets? Who’s with me?
Even the PS had an opinion — not on supermarkets this time, but on what matters in making a magazine: getting it just right.
PS: For those of you expecting our latest magazine round about now, I’m sorry but it’s been delayed by a couple of weeks because we are taking extra time to get the new design just right.
- Give loads of practical advice. Ethical Consumer product guides help readers choose the products that most align with their values. They’re easy to use, thoroughly researched and usually down to earth. (There was one guide recommending a salad-spinner type washing machine and another suggesting a hole in the ground might serve as a fridge replacement… but as far as we can remember, those two are the only outliers.)
15. Sprinklr
Who it’s from:
Liedewij, fellow writer and co-founder of Sprinklr — a Dutch startup that wants to make cities greener. The team sell house and garden plants, many of which are organically grown. Their online shop lets you choose plants based on criteria such as pet & child safety, light preferences and size. You can pick up your plants in Amsterdam Noord or have them delivered during a dedicated time slot. And if you’ve got a killer thumb like Sabine, the Sprinklr app teaches you everything you need to take care of your green house mates.
What it is:
A twice-monthly email from Liedewij with product and company news, as well as a course on looking after your new plants when you place an order.
What we can learn from it:
- Make it easy for people to sign up to your newsletter! We haven’t been able to link you to the sign-up form because we couldn’t find it on their website…
- Tie your product updates to current news. For example, they launched a new garden plant package to support insects, soil quality and biodiversity — all three at risk in the Netherlands:
Translation:
Indigenous Paradise
No, the insects in the Netherlands are not doing well. No, the soil is not doing well. And binding CO2 and biodiversity in general are also going downhill …. But this is supposed to be a happy newsletter and so it is! We now have a package of native plants with which you can take action even if your space is small: Indigenous Paradise! Fourteen native herb plants (6 species) and three different native shrubs (Elder, Blackthorn and Dog Rose). Also nice: they don’t necessarily have to be in the open ground, they can also be in pots / trays. Yes, balcony and roof terrace lovers, we’re thinking of you!
- Be honest about what it’s like building your business. We’re surrounded with “shiny happy entrepreneurs” who wake up at 4am each day to take an ice bath so they’re more productive. We’re craving authenticity and a true personal connection. Allow yourself to let your guard down without making your readers pity you. Sprinklr did that really nicely in an email about the struggles of building a sustainable business:
Translation:
It was an educational summer for us. We knew that sustainable entrepreneurship is just a bit more difficult than just ordinary entrepreneurship. But we were once again confronted with the facts.
There’s no good e-commerce supply chain for organic garden plants. So we decided to set it up ourselves, through our “bio hub”. Thanks to that hub we were able to sell a lot of organic garden plants and many people could easily choose organic, and that was great. But getting it done was quite an investment. Read about the dilemmas and ups and downs in our blog.
Phew, that’s a lot of inspiration.
In summary, our message is this:
Take courage, dear reader. Emails can be immensely powerful.
So, start sending emails. Start sending better emails. Start sending more of them, too.
And if there’s another brilliant email newsletter we didn’t include, let us know! We’re collecting the best ideas for a follow-up post (and we’ll add a link crediting you).
