Low hanging fruits

The ultimate newsletter directory - directory

Happy Monday, everyone! 

I hope, you had a great weekend.

We lost ten subscribers (net) since the last email and are now at 2,469 subs, it hurts, but I thought it would have been much more: 

• First, there was no newsletter in a while. 

• Second, I'm not the person people signed up for. 

So let's change gears and start growing again!

Since taking over last week, I had to do some housekeeping first to direct the newsletter in the direction I want it to go. 

Next to the Facebook group, we now have a new website, archiving all emails for you to go back to. Also, I wrote some articles (I will elaborate on the reasons in a subsequent email, hopefully with results). 

Newsletter Directories

Additionally, I want to gather some valuable tools for us and started with a list of newsletter directories. I know, I know, newsletter directories are nothing new (and Codie, Ilona, and Olman already used and listed a few). HOWEVER, I went into the weeds and dug out EVERY.SINGLE.ONE., if you haven't already, you should definitely go and list your newsletter on all of those that make sense for you, because:

• It is actually the only source where general newsletter interested folks will find you.

• It will give your website backlinks.

• GrowGetters grew in the time of absence from 2,346 to 2,489 because of the constant flow of exciting people from these directories (that means: nobody touched it, and it still grew!)

So, don't wait any longer and list your baby: Go to the full list.

In other news:

I'm going to start a referral program to give everyone the possibility to get exposure on here. The idea is to provide everyone that refers >100 people to GrowGetters the opportunity to introduce his/her project to the community. More 

Also, if you haven't already, please sign up to the Facebook group. We already have many interesting conversations, and I feel the group will give each of us (newsletter) creators heaps of value in the future.

On a last note, I will start doing interviews with interesting people in the newsletter space. So If you know someone (or are someone) that everyone should know about, just comment below or write me a quick email.

That's it for this week; still a bit of housekeeping to do, so first things first: Get your newsletter listed in the directories above! 

Have a great week, and let's keep growing!
