I’ve been getting a lot of requests lately from companies looking to hire for newsletter roles: Newsletter editors, growth leads, heads of sales. So I wanted to mention: If you’re hiring, I’ve been building a directory of qualified candidates who are looking for jobs in the newsletter space. Right now, there are more than 90 great email candidates in the Inbox Collective job directory!

For employers, it’s free to join, and free to post jobs there. If you’re hiring, join here.

And if you’re looking for a new job, you should apply to be listed in the directory. Here’s the link to sign up.

Two Things To Know Before Launching Your Newsletter

There’s a misconception that if you run a newsletter, you need to have everything figured out at the start. If you know what your business model will look like, or if you’ve got a clear growth strategy, that’s great — it’ll serve you well as you build.

But what do you actually need to know on Day 1? I’d argue that you really only need to know two things:

Who your audience is
What your newsletter will do to bring value to that audience

It sounds basic, but so many newsletters struggle because they don’t have clear answers to these two points.

Let’s dive in and figure out the answers to help you build the best possible product. Get the guide here →
