⚡ So you're just starting your newsletter. This might help.
Hey, Reader Newsletter!
So you're in the starting phase of your newsletter?
SO awesome. So exciting.
But also... kind of confusing, right?
One of the biggest areas of newsletter confusion is around email platforms (ESPs)—and which one is right for YOU ?
It feels like there are more options (and confusion) every day. And people spend so much time trying to pick "the right one"—they end up wasting precious time better spent building their email list.
So let me help you save some time.
» I believe there are 4 ESP options that will suit 98% of people writing newsletters:
→ ConvertKit: great for content creators, artists, musicians, service providers, and more! (I'm a proud user and ConvertKit affiliate :)
→ Substack: great for just starting out with the fundamentals; aimed at professional writers looking to turn on paid subscriptions.
→ Mailchimp: great for small business and e-commerce.
→ beehiiv: great option for those looking to build a media business and grow it quickly.
(I used to include Revue here, but sounds like Twitter is shutting it down...)
