I've had some great luck promoting http://oppsdaily.com with some of the subreddits mentioned.

In addition, http://reddit.com/r/financialindependence does a weekly self-promotion thread which has been a nice little bump in traffic.

Any tips on starting a newsletter? Or resources on landing pages, the newsletter design or mailing platform? Or anything you wished you knew before you started? :)

Wow, this would be a huge comment if I tried to tackle each of these topics! Also, it's only been about 2 months since I officially started e-mailing so take what I say with a grain of salt :)

I will say that It's been a valuable exercise to e-mail every unsubscriber and ask why they left.

The number one reason people leave is because they don't want to get an e-mail every day. We now offer a weekly recap email because of this feedback, and I've actually had people return to the list who had previously left.

Sending an e-mail to someone is a privilege. Especially a daily e-mail. In my opinion our time/attention is one of the most precious things we have.

I want the reader to be able to read and comprehend the opportunity in under 30 seconds and leave feeling like the e-mail had a positive impact on their day.

If you're looking for any advice in specific, get in touch, I'm always happy to help :)

That's a good idea, subscribed!

I'll give it a chance as-is but I wonder if weekly emails would be a nice option for some people.

Hey Chis!

We now have a weekly option! In one of our e-mails click "update my preferences" and then check "weekly".

How do we get opportunities to post on Opps Daily? Is there a form to fill out somewhere?
