I’ve got some news.

• We’ll be publishing 3-4 times per month, with a mix of how-tos, feature stories, case studies, and more. (Scroll down to find links to the stories we’ve published today!)
• You’ll see bylines from others in the email world — and we’d love you to pitch us on your story ideas! Maybe you’ve got a personal newsletter success story you want to share with the world, or maybe you want to write a story about someone else’s newsletter. Whatever the idea, we’d love to hear from you — if you’ve got a pitch, hit reply to this email and send it our way. 
• And yes, we’ll pay you to contribute to the site! Pay is $450 for shorter pieces, $750 for longer, more complicated stories.
• I’m using the royal “we” here because the stories on inboxcollective.com are being brought to you by a team larger than just me! Special thanks to Alex Hazlett, who’s been an amazing collaborator and editor on this project, and a huge reason why we’re actually launching this site today.
• We’re also able to launch — and pay for writers to contribute! — thanks to the generous support of several sponsors. I want to thank Selzy, an easy-to-use email marketing platform, and Who Sponsors Stuff, a tool to help you find relevant sponsors for your newsletter, for coming aboard as launch sponsors of the new site!

• Alex profiled The Charlotte Ledger, one of the most successful newsletter-first news startups.
• Jason Rodriguez put together a fantastic guide for marketers and journalists to create more accessible emails.
• I wrote more about the strategy behind a successful welcome series.
• We’re finally bringing some of Yanna-Torry Aspraki’s Ask a Deliverability Expert columns to a place where you can easily find and share them.
• Plus, I’m slowly putting the Not a Newsletter archives online. Everything I’ve written in the Google Doc in 2022 is live on site. (The archive is more than 170,000 words, so moving everything from Google Doc to WordPress will take a little time. Expect the full archive to go live in the next few weeks.)
