Cheers to the Rise of Creator Newsletters

The Creator Economy has a new bestie.

What are creator newsletters, and why should you care?

Newsletters published by "creators" and not supported or hosted by big media corporations like The New York Times or AP News are the new Creator Economy superstars.

"Creators" like side hustlers, solopreneurs, bloggers, creative writers, social media managers, entertainers, podcasters, and video professionals can benefit from regularly and consistently sharing valuable content with their ideal connections via a newsletter. How?

A newsletter gives you direct access to:

  • Encourage genuine conversations

  • Establish or grow your authority

  • Build and nurture relationships

  • Showcase your expertise

  • Earn passive income

Because sharing is caring, here are a dozen of my fave creator-led newsletters to inspire you:

The following are in no particular order and not Substack hosted:

  1. Creator Science: Become a smarter creator (in just 10 minutes per week). Get firsthand experiments, expert interviews, and actionable advice every week from Jay Clouse.

  2. One Thing Better: Each week, the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine shares one way to improve your work — and build a career or company you love.
