24 Jul 2020

About this episode: This week we have Falak Sher a med-school drop out turned newsletter creator. Falak spend 4 hours a day on his daily newsletter called IndieLetters, a newsletter curating the best content of IndieHackers. This episode we’ll discuss Falak’s daily work flow, how he reduced his 4 hour a day newsletter to only 2 hours a day, his newsletter tools, and much more!

Show Notes:

IndieLetters was born when Falak saw it was very difficult to digest all the information on IndieHackers.
IndieLetters uses a custom landing page with MailerLite for email hosting.
MailerLites free templates are much better than MailChimp.
Falak will launch IndieLetters on many different newsletter directories such as LetterList, InboxReads, Thanks for Subscribing, NewsletterStack. Also ProductHunt and Reddit.
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.
Once a month request your newsletter subscribers to share the newsletter.
