Substack and Beehiiv seem popular but I haven't used either of them.
Are you looking to migrate, Nika?

I like button-down. They also have really good overview of alternatives: https://buttondown.email/alterna...

I also want to create a newsletter. I use Gumroad now for my digital products. But I can send newsletters, too. I'm considering Substack. + I'm interested in new ConvertKit's offer: https://convertkit.com/promotion...

@olenabomko I registered for ConvertKit because they had a quite beneficial promo β I think it is the one you sent. So I am in, but haven't used it. GumRoad is good for selling but I am not sure if there are enough metrics in the dashboard. When comparing Mailchimp and GumRoad (in terms of email marketing) β Mailchimp has many metrics. GumRoad is left behind.

@busmark_w_nika Yes, but I don't want to use a lot of tools :)

Iβve had good experiences with Mailchimp for robust analytics and Substack for community-building features.

@abdellah_abbous Honestly, I have always taken this platform as something for programmers/coders. π
I experienced both Mailchimp and ConvertKit. Another platform worth checking out is Substack. It's great for building a dedicated subscriber base and monetizing content. What specific features are you looking for in a newsletter platform?

@andreas_sohns Do you have any experience with Beehiiv? I see many people speaking about how easy was to monetize the content thanks to them. I am not sure if I am correct, but do they have something like "showcasing newsletters in similar nichΓ©s from other creators"? Maybe something like this could help me with visibility.
@busmark_w_nika I haven't personally used Beehiiv, but I heard great things about it, especially regarding monetization and ease of use. They do have a feature that showcases newsletters in similar niches which can help with the visibility and audience growth. It's a valuable tool for increasing your reach.
