A curated newsletter helps you grow your audience, build closer relationships with your fans, and share what you're working on. Letterfuel makes it easy to start, then publish consistently.
Thanks for hunting Letterfuel, Jack!
Hey hunters - happy to finally get Letterfuel out into the world.
Letterfuel lets you easily start a curated newsletter. You don't need to create an account to try it out, so give it a go if you've always wanted to start a newsletter or want a better workflow for one you already publish.
The idea behind Letterfuel came about when I created an internal tool for a newsletter I run (UI Movement) to simplify the process of putting the newsletter together every week. Initially, I would clone the email template every week, then spend ages replacing the old content with the new. This involved a whole lot of copying and pasting and it was easy to make mistakes.
I figured others probably would benefit from a better way to build digest emails, so I made it a tool anyone can use. Based on feedback, it's evolved to include a decent landing page builder & more.
It's still early days so I'm open to feedback and would love to hear your thoughts on Letterfuel as it currently is and where you think it could go in the future.
I'll be around all day to answer questions 🙌🏼
@andrewaskins Thanks dude - we should catch up soon!

@ramykhuffash Hi Ramy, congrats for your product it seems to be a great one based on the comments. I’m considering starting a newsletter myself so I’ll definitely check it out.
Quick question: at first I was going to use Revue, can you tell me how Letterfuel is different? Thanks
Hey @ramykhuffash, this is a problem near and dear to me, as I spent a year building my former company's external and internal newsletter.
Since I've seen the power of a newsletter, I created a personal one and run it through eLinks.io (which I found through PH). What would you say is the value prop of Letterfuel vs. elinks?
Thanks!
Ben
@benmlevy Hey Ben. Honestly, I've not tried elink.io out - I'll give it a play and get back to you with the differences (if any).
From what I found during customer interviews, there seems to be plenty of room for tools that improve the newsletter workflow though!
If you have the time, please have a play with Letterfuel and let me know what you think, you experience would make your feedback even more valuable.
@ramykhuffash Sounds good. I just signed up and will give it a runthrough to let you know my feedback!
I'd also add that I don't think elink is a great product, more of the solution I've been using to date.
@arthur_west_iv I don't remember what Paper.li did, but as far as I remember, it was for creating curated publications for Twitter mainly? It looks like it's changed a lot over the years, I'll have to try it out and see how it compares with Letterfuel. Sorry that's not the most helpful of answers.

As a marketer, newsletters usually take AGES to put together if creating your own content. I've been using Letterfuel for my newsletter FPL Fanatics. Takes an hour of my time a week to simply drag and drop links from the web that subscribers will love. Can start getting subscribers from day 1 as you get a ready-to-go landing page with your newsletter. Highly recommend for time poor content marketers!
Pros:
A marketer's dream to get subscribers quickly!! Gives you a ready to go landing page & can drag & drop content into your newsletter quickly
Cons:
n/a, looking forward to more analytics in the future :)
@krishnade thanks! Yeah I think it's a great way to try out some ideas. Some topics lend themselves to curated newsletters better than others, so I wanted to make it super easy for people to get a landing page up for an idea then get it out to see if there's interest! Let me know how you get on 😊

I've dabbled with IFTTT, Zapier, manual curation, and RSS imports into traditional email service providers. Nothing's come close to being this easy.
Pros:Super-simple interface. Handy Chrome extension for curating on the fly.
Cons:None so far.
