🔥 Community Digest: Special(ish) Edition

Welcome to the Special(ish) Edition of our Community Digest. What makes it special? Well, we didn’t send out a round-up last week (I was away with family enjoying the Florida sun) so we’re throwing in updates from the last month or so into one super-helpful mega round-up.

1. 🫤 A follow-up from last week’s X post on Ed buying newsletters at $50 a sub. So far, it’s a bust. Multiple NB members messaged him and received replies but no action.

2. 🐝 Our referral program with beehiiv got an upgrade. Start your newsletter with them and get 20% off the first 3 months using this link.

3. 🧹 Kody asked what’s a good segmentation formula to clean an email list

4. ✉️ AmericanXRadass wondered if anyone had a drip email, which led to talks of evergreen newsletters and automation

5. 🛠️ Shlomo Freund had issues with Converkit, as well as Corne and ThatAndreaM, with different solutions offered for each of them

6. 💡 Ryan asked what’s the best way to communicate with sponsors, which launched a great convo

7. 🎟️ Here are ways to use in-person events for monetization

8. ❓ What are blocklists, and do they matter?

9. 📈 If you want to know more about weekly/monthly newsletter reporting, this thread’s for you
