- IndieLetters uses a custom landing page with MailerLite for email hosting.
- MailerLites free templates are much better than MailChimp.

- Falaks advice for individuals wanting to start a newsletter is simply to throw up a one page landing-page and start writing.
- His newsletter is a learning tool to help him build his SaaS business.
- The two tips Falak has for growing your newsletter are to deliver quality over quantity and embed sharing links inside the newsletter.
