What is a newsletter?

A newsletter is an email sent on a regular schedule with ideas, analysis or news on 1 topic. It reaches your inbox without an algorithm deciding whether you see it.

How do I find the best newsletters to subscribe to?

Start with a category you care about, then open Navid's picks at the top of it. A curated list is faster than a directory that ranks by size.

How did you pick these newsletters?

Every newsletter here is one I read myself and found worth the inbox space. There are no paid placements.

Are these newsletters free?

Most are free. Some have a paid tier with extra issues or a community, and each one shows its price.

How many newsletters should I subscribe to?

Fewer than you think. 5 to 10 newsletters you read beat 30 you skim.

What is the best newsletter platform?

Substack, beehiiv and Kit send most newsletters. Substack has discovery built in, beehiiv is built for growth and ads, and Kit suits creators who sell their own products.

How do newsletter writers make money?

Usually from sponsors, paid subscriptions and their own products. Many use all 3.

Are paid newsletters worth it?

When the writer has access or experience you can't get elsewhere, yes. For general news, the free ones are usually enough.

How often do you update this list?

All the time. I add newsletters as they prove themselves, and take off any that stop publishing.

How do I stop newsletters taking over my inbox?

Send them all to 1 folder with a filter, then read them in 1 sitting. Treat them as a reading list, not as mail.

How do I start my own newsletter?

Pick a platform and 1 specific topic you can write about every week, then publish before you have a list. Consistency matters more than design early on.

Who made the newsletter finder?

I did. I'm Navid Moazzez, and I made the newsletter finder as one of my free tools on navid.me. More about me .
