What’s Missing in Your Favourite Startup Newsletters?

Question

I'm creating a newsletter that shares projects you can launch over a weekend. I'd love to hear what you’re currently subscribed to and what you think could be improved!

Yeah I think most startup newsletters are too broad and generic. Would love to see more niche-specific content that goes deeper on topics relevant to my industry and role. And personalized recs based on my interests and past reading habits would be awesome too. The one-size-fits-all approach def leaves a lot to be desired imho.

Answer

@abhimanyu_kapoor Specifically sticking to my domain, I handle GTM for my current company. So, a broader topic where people write is about PLG and SLG and very much what is what, but that doesn't drill down to the granular elements if it's an SLG(for example) we can't suggest one size fits all solution for everyone, it is different across geographies, cultures etc. So, there are certain elements which comprise the entirety of the strategy. By sub-niche I mean a playbook but one that's more of a guide book for someone than just an idea.

Answer

I think what I find in most cases is one size fits all scenarios. I would like to be newsletters be more catered to sub-niches.

@arindam_vaidya curious to know what are those sub-niches that you would like to read?

@isabellaclaireanderson Interesting, Curious to know what are the current newsletter that you are subscribed to right now?

I think newsletter dont have the capability of tracking those metrics apart from open rate and bounce rate because of email providers.

Love where you're going with this!

I’m subscribed to a few newsletters, but I feel like most could use more hands-on, actionable content. Maybe consider including short, specific guides on launching projects that don’t require heavy technical skills or lots of setup. It’d be awesome to see unique project ideas, resources to get started, and some tips on common pitfalls.

And if you could curate content by skill level or goals (like "learn a new tool" or "get MVP-ready"), it could really hit home for people.
