Whose Newsletters Do You Look Forward To?

Mr. Myer's has a great newsletter and I recommend everyone get on it. Perry Marshall is a good one too, especially his blog. Most marketers do not provide good content to their lists. They treat their lists to sell to only. I can surely understand that, but I think IMO the best practice is to mix in good solid content, and actually help people....

...especially if this is the business you are in (list building and management). Everyone has their own philosophies, but what caught my attention in this business when I first got started was the good/free content that was available.

When i started in this business, I got on every tele-seminar I could get on. I read emails after emails, and LIVED in this forum here. The WF was my home and I read posts here until my eyes were bleeding.

I dont understand personally, why marketers do not provide their lists with good content. If you got the "goods", then by God, let it out there to folks. If you have good content, word travels. I've seen Paul's newsletter recommended here about a billion and a half times, there's a reason for that.

see?

Rock on homies,

Oh yes! Paul Myers's newsletters are really good.Apart from talkbiz news, I also look forward to Kikabink newsletters too.They contain solid information. You might want to check that out.

Hope this helps,
Warmly,
Poppy

Hate to sound redundant, but Paul Myers TalkBiz News is the only one for me.

I unsubscribe to lists more than I subscribe, but I enjoy Paul's newsletter and blog posts.

Paul's as has already been quoted, but Martin Avis is another one worth subscribing to.

Thanks for opening my eyes. Will subscribe to Paul Myer's newsletter ASAP!!

Martin Avis gets my vote - friendly approach, no high pressure selling and light relief from the cares of the day......

I look forward to the monthly Planet Ocean Search Engine News newsletter.

I don't subscribe to newsletter, instead
I subscribe to blogs.

first of all, I can subscribe by RSS, which frees up a
substantial part of my email, and second, most of the
time blogs are filled with great content, not promoting
anything, unless you want to look for something in their
sidebar.

My advice: subscribe to blogs, not newsletters.

Yep, Paul's and Martin's newsletters are great. Here are the links for those who want to sign up right now:

Paul: TalkBiz News: What you really need to know to succeed online - Online business building newsletter

Martin: Kickstart Today Signup page

Hey Dennis,

the one & only newsletter I would not miss DAILY is Early to Rise's newsletter because of their low selling + super informative content.

You might want to check it out...

Hope it helps.

I have always found Perry Marshall to provide good information.

After reading this thread i am intrigued to sign up to Paul Myers newsletter.

I used to get this one, but I kind of outgrew it. Not that they don't put out good information, but for the cost I was seeing diminishing returns as my knowledge of SEO grew. It's a natural attrition for newsletters of this kind.

To each their own, but you're missing information that isn't posted on blogs. For example, in my newsletter I offer special prices on new products, freebies, and content that I DO NOT post to the public. If you don't subscribe, you don't get the subscriber-only goodies. Many newsletter publishers do this very thing because we believe in rewarding our subscribers for their loyalty to us.

Paul has a way of writing that entertains as well as educates. Very enjoyable, I think you'll like it fine. I'm glad I could send a few subscribers his way, he's as deserving as anyone, and more so than most.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread. I'm going to check out ones that are new to me and probably sign up for some of them.

Anyone else have newsletters to contribute?

PS - In case anyone is wondering why I thanked some users and not others, I just thanked the first person who offered a newsletter that hadn't been mentioned.

I hate Paul Myers because he has probably sold me more stuff than any other single person I can think of. I love his newsletters too, but they are dangerous for me to read, lol.

Note: Paul's products are great too, my anger is in him producing so much stuff I actually want, and then telling me all about it in his wonderful newsletter.

He's very sneaky what with that whole "good content makes people like you and buy your stuff" thing. Even if you don't like his down-homey charm, just watch and learn by reverse engineering.

Thanks for the Avis mention, I'll be checking him out too. But hopefully he makes terrible products.

But I never unsubscribe from anything. I like to study what people do. Note, if you use Gmail, you can basically have a million free email addresses and keep everything sorted, and even get in on split-tests that bigger marketers run if you're in there more than once.

That's always fun.

Paul Myers and Martin Avis, of course. Dr Andy as well.

I'll jump on the bandwagon for Paul and Martin as well. Great stuff.

I also usually read immediately Dr. Ralph Wilson's Web Marketing today.

While not exactly a marketing newsletter, I also read the day its available Jonathan Bailey's Plageriarism Today - which I highly recommend if you're a writer or concerned with IP. Plagiarism Today - Copyright, Content Theft and Plagiarism

I have just a few others but they are in my main industry's space and the VC space so not really appropriate here.

best,
--Jack

Almost a newsletter :-)

Alright, something just happened that is weird, so I'm going to hijack my own thread, which is also kinda weird.

Anyway, I just clicked the button to thank Paul, and my thank you button disappeared, but the thanks never showed up on Paul's post. I also have no option to remove the thanks, so apparently it didn't take, but my thank you button is gone.

I've also had other strange things happening here lately. On another thread I clicked the thank you button and the Firefox version of Notepad opened with raw code. I've never seen that happened before. Been getting a lot of database errors and pages timing out lately too. Is any of this happening to anyone else, or is my computer going freaky? Everything else seems to work fine.

On another note, thanks for the suggestions, folks. I've several new newsletter to try out now. Much appreciated!

Sean D'Souza. I've been on that guy's list for about 10 years. One of the only ones I open every time. Targeted more at business owners, but that's what we are really. Witty, entertaining, and informative. What more could you ask?

No one has mentioned Michael Fortin I love his emails, they are so informative.

Order of preference for me

Martin Avis (I open immediately)
Paul Myers (ditto)
Dr Andy
Michael Fortin
Allen Gardyan

Rarely read any of the others I get

Cheers
Kim

I'll add Jonathan Leger to the list. He's a very talented programmer/marketer who sends an email ranging from a few a month to once a month which points to his blog. His posts are full of great insights and specific case studies backed up by proof and hard data.

If you like SEO then definitely head over to his blog and sign up to his list.
