A free newsletter finder with the newsletters I recommend, by category, with what each one covers and how to subscribe.
Find newsletters worth your inbox by topic, platform, how often they arrive and what they cost. Navid's picks come first, and each one opens its own page.
This free newsletter finder has the newsletters I recommend, sorted by category, with Navid's picks first.
Open a category to see its full list, or open a newsletter to see what it covers, who it's for and how to subscribe.
Here's what an email newsletter is, what makes a great one, and how to get the most out of the ones you read.
TL;DRAn email newsletter is an email sent on a regular schedule, with ideas, analysis or news on 1 topic. It lands in your inbox, so no algorithm decides whether you see it.
The best ones feel like a letter from someone who knows the topic well, not like marketing.
The newsletters on this list do most of these:
A few habits make newsletters useful instead of noisy:
Most newsletters here are free. Some add a paid tier with extra issues, deeper analysis or a community.
A paid newsletter is worth it when the writer has access or experience you can't get elsewhere. For general news, the free ones are usually enough.
Most newsletters are sent from 3 platforms. Substack has discovery built in, beehiiv is built for growth and ads, and Kit suits creators who sell their own products.
If you're starting your own, my email marketing pricing comparison shows what each one costs.
Navid's picks are the newsletters I read myself and would send a friend first. They come first in every category.
It's for anyone who wants fewer, better emails:
More tools are on my free tools page.
The best newsletter is the one you open every time it arrives. Start with 1 category you care about, subscribe to 2 or 3, and keep only the ones you look forward to.
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.
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.
Every newsletter here is one I read myself and found worth the inbox space.
There are no paid placements.
Most are free.
Some have a paid tier with extra issues or a community, and each one shows its price.
Fewer than you think.
5 to 10 newsletters you read beat 30 you skim.
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.
Usually from sponsors, paid subscriptions and their own products.
Many use all 3.
When the writer has access or experience you can't get elsewhere, yes.
For general news, the free ones are usually enough.
All the time.
I add newsletters as they prove themselves, and take off any that stop publishing.
Send them all to 1 folder with a filter, then read them in 1 sitting.
Treat them as a reading list, not as mail.
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.
I did.
I'm Navid Moazzez, and I made the newsletter finder as one of my free tools on navid.me.
