Nowadays, information can pretty much be found on any topic, anywhere on the web. Sometimes there is almost too much information and can be what I like to call an “information overload.” I am subscribed to a bunch of newsletters, but I’m not going to lie– most of the time I don’t get around to opening half of them. The best newsletters, in my opinion, are visually appealing and highly organized, making it easy to find the important gold nuggets of information without going on a literary treasure hunt. The information should be presented in a way that is clear and concise.
As someone who runs a business, you have a lot on your plate and time is precious. Many times there are not enough minutes in the day, and certainly not enough to pick and choose which newsletters are worth reading. As a small business owner, it is essential to be informed about a range of topics inside and outside of your expertise. My recommendation is to pick 5-10 newsletters that best align with your interests and what you feel is most important to stay informed on.
Because we know your time is precious, below is a list of small business newsletters we compiled that we feel are worth subscribing to.
