Craft Link List

I started sharing Craft CMS-related links with a group of developers in a Google Doc. I received a lot of positive feedback for that document and decided to start doing it regularly as an email newsletter. I named it Craft Link List.

The newsletter featured Craft CMS news, tips, and links to great content from the Craft CMS community. It was also financially successful. The newsletter had sponsorship for its entire run. 

Craft Link List was published twice a month to 2000+ subscribers. After 5 years, I passed the newsletter off to the Craft CMS team to continue as their in-house newsletter.
