Get featured in a niche newsletter

One mention in the newsletter your buyer trusts can bring your first ten users.

When to use it

Your buyer reads a curated newsletter (tools, jobs, industry news) that features products or resources.

Steps

  1. List the newsletters your buyers mention, plus those that curate tools in your niche.
  2. Read two issues of each and note the section where you could fit.
  3. Send the editor a short note with something useful to their readers: a free resource, data, or a reader-only offer.
  4. Offer a swap if you have your own audience, however small.

Template

Hi [editor], your [section] is great — [specific example]. Your readers might like [resource]: [one-line value]. Free, no signup [or: a reader-only offer]. Happy to write the blurb.

How to know it worked

Features secured and signups attributed with a dedicated link.

Common mistakes

  • Asking for a feature with nothing for the readers.
  • Paying for a big generic newsletter before testing a niche one.
