A quick & easy way to get exposure for your newsletter

Yo, Grow Getter crew - Happy Thursday! It’s been a long week but…

Anyone who thought 2021 would be less crazy than 2020 probably feels a little like Melvin Capital these days. But we wanted to make sure that you’re still getting your dose of growth from us and we found a relatively easy way for y’all to get some 👀 on your newsletter.

Newsletter Directories, while every bit as boring as they sound, are actually a great way to discover new newsletters (shoutout to Brain Bank) and get exposure for yours. Some of them let you upvote a la Product Hunt so you can see what’s trending and find new nuggets for your inbox. Newsletter Directories also take submissions, so this week, we did a little research to find roundups of these directories (directories of directories, if you will) so we could share them with you!

Here are a few that we found:

• https://www.indiehackers.com/post/list-of-newsletter-directories-dfb6499dfb

• https://www.letterstack.co/category/directories

• https://blog.emailoctopus.com/list-of-newsletter-directories-and-aggregators/

Combined, these posts feature 22 unique newsletter directories. We went ahead and combined them all for you here.

Our team (bless you, Ross) submitted Grow Getters to every single one of these directories. Here’s what a standard application looks like: 

Then, we waited. (And by waited, we mean worked crazy hours at our other jobs and pretended to care about the Super Bowl). Some of them accepted us right away, see pic below of our shiny newsletter on the InboxStash directory. 

(Completely unrelated side note, if y’all wanted to go upvote us on InboxStash, that’d be rad. Big ups to Codie’s mom for helping us out 😉)

For others, we’re still pending approval. We’d love for y’all to try this out - you can see backlinks and more traffic for what ultimately took less a couple hours of work. Let us know in the comments if you see success!

Keep on growin’,

Ilona, Codie, & Olman

PS - Next week we’re going to write about using Clubhouse to fuel some growth. If you have thoughts or tips in mind, let us know in the comments!
