13 (More) Newsletters for Creatives
October 26, 2015
None of us have time to sift through hundreds of newsletters in search of value.
We want newsletters that cut through the noise and give us actionable advice coupled with real experiences we can connect with.
So how do you go about finding these seeming unicorn mailing lists of value? I’ve already done some of the legwork for you.
My first newsletter recommendations post was a big hit, so I thought I’d create a follow-up post of some of my additional favorites. These mailing lists feature awesome content upgrades, insightful case studies, relevant webinar and workshop notifications, and all kinds of exclusive content.
*Note: Again, none of these are affiliate links and I don’t get compensation for any of these mentions. I just really love what these people do.
