Welcome to the April edition of Not a Newsletter!

Before we dive into the stories in this issue, a big thank you to Litmus, this quarter’s presenting sponsor of Not a Newsletter and Inbox Collective! They’re an all-in-one marketing platform that empowers you to build, test, review, and analyze emails so you can get the most out of every email you send. And they’ve published a fantastic resource: The Ultimate Email Workflow Toolkit. You’ll learn a few things from this that you can apply to your strategy today — download the free guide here.

And there’s so much more in this month’s Google Doc! You’ll learn about:

🏆 Tactics to help you win back as many as 15% of your inactive readers.

💰 How to start monetizing your independent newsletter, including best practices around pitching and pricing a membership or subscription.

📬 Must-haves for a welcome series or a newsletter sign-up page.

💬 How to use a survey to improve your newsletter strategy.

...and a lot more!

Plus, I want to say thank you to two new sponsors this month: Postmark, an email platform with stellar deliverability and a focus on customer service, and Understanding Google Analytics 4, a useful new course from The Content Technologist.

And with that: Let's get into Not a Newsletter — there’s so much to learn from in this month’s issue!
