👋 Hi Reader,

Welcome to our first-ever monthly newsletter occurrence for 2025! You must be thinking "Where did LetterStack disappear after that 5-day mini-course?" Well, to be honest, our team was hard at work, and now we can share the fruits of our labor with you.

Remember we promised we would get you the top 1% of newsletter creators to spill their secrets? We just broke ground on that promise.

Presenting to you, our first episode on our YouTube channel, The LetterStack Podcast. We published our first episode with Sebastian Lindner, who along with Chevy Cassar grew Web3Daily, a daily crypto and web3 newsletter, from 0 to 55k in the span of 28 months. Learn how they did it in the YT link below.

​

And in case you would not want to watch my millennial resting face (which I totally understand) you can also listen to it on Spotify/Apple Music or right here inside this email.

News...On Newsletters, ICYMI

Wait, there is a right time to send a newsletter?

Apparently, yes. The beehiiv 2025 State of Email Newsletters report spilled so much tea on operating newsletter statistics, I almost left writing this email halfway. If you are starting a newsletter today, you might want to read this one first.

Look Ma, no ads while cooking!

Food Bloggers - Listen up! Spillt has announced an integration with Kit app for food bloggers, so food and drink newsletter creators can offer premium, ad-free experiences.

Is this a good time?

While beehiiv wrote about the state of newsletters, ActiveCampaign decided to do one better with it’s updated Campaigns Calendar, which now provides industry-specific insights on optimal send times. You can now improve open rates and engagement by aligning their campaigns with proven benchmarks, ensuring messages land in the primary inbox.

ActiveCampaign also went beyond email with their new SMS reply triggers, opening up opportunities to engage readers on multiple platforms.
