*pressing SKIP INTRO button* The list:

  1. Morning Brew
  2. Exploding topics
  3. First 1000
  4. Creative Samba

Just a disclaimer — these are the newsletter I’m subscribed to at the moment. Usually, I subscribe to anything that interests me, and then after 4–5 times I unsubscribe. However, these four have been arriving in my inbox for quite some time.

Here is the description of each one, really shortly because #deathtofluff

1. Morning Brew

Topics: business, politics

One sentence description: Morning brew is a mix of Wall Street Journal and Financial Times and you will be updated in 5 mins on anything trending atm.

2. Exploding Topics

Topics: Exploding Topics (ba dum tss, I am a comedian)

One sentence description: Find the next big thing, before it becomes the next big thing.

Additionally: This newsletter brings 4 trends that are on the rise. Sometimes they mention few startups. Ofc, if you want the names of these startups in advance, you need to pay.

3. First 1000

Topics: startups, growth hacking

One sentence description: Abi Abouelatta tells stories of how companies got their first 1000 customers, in some cases, he goes beyond that 1k up until 100k or 1MM.

P.S.: My newest subscription. So far very happy with this one.

4. Creative Samba

Topics: advertising, copywriting, marketing campaigns

One sentence description: Newsletter about copywriting and advertising by Miguel Ferreira

P.S.: My most favorite lesson learned is this:

Are there any other newsletters that I’m subscribed to?

Ofc.

  1. Product Hunt (startups, apps, products)
  2. Angel List (startups, startup jobs, and investors)
  3. Product Byte (products that will make you money+ analytics on how much Amazon sellers are making selling them)
  4. Finimize (finance + investing)
  5. Quiver Quantitative (alternative stock data, e.g. r/wallstreetbets ticker count)

From the five listed above, I receive their weekly newsletter. Do I read them properly? Nope. Hmm, maybe Product Hunt.

The point is that, I skim them just for the sake of catching something that I missed while wandering on the internet.
