Top 8 Small Business & Startup Newsletters

We asked 14 members from Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) what Startup newsletters they would recommend subscribing to. Here’s what they had to say:

StartupDigest has sorted news about Startups, Tech, the Internet & Silicon Valley. SD (not San Diego) is a great resource for keeping up with what’s happening & trending articles around the Startup world.
Mattermark Daily [Tech News] is an organized set of links to blog posts, news stories & funding announcements from top tech investors & entrepreneurs. It’s easy to skim thru on a busy day, and usually gets me to click-through & read at least 2-3 posts every day.
PetoVera. The PV team send out weekly newsletter updates covering a wide array of topics such as content marketing, lead generation, Email marketing strategies, sales funnels & more. Each article covers the topic in depth and contains actionable advice that is easy to follow, and sure to improve your bottom line.
QuickSprout [Marketing] sends out a weekly newsletter linking to Blog posts about Marketing. The articles are filled with rich content that revolve around teaching entrepreneurs how to increase their business with the newest trends in Online Marketing.
Convince & Convert [Marketing] share one major content marketing or social media related story worth knowing each issue. They include other links to helpful content and insights for business owners & marketers. It’s beneficial because it’s focused on one major story impacting business owners as it relates to marketing.
Traffic Generation Café. Is all about SEO & traffic generation + getting click-throughs in the simplest and most informative ways. I love seeing what tips she has in store every time I get the Newsletter from her. Plus, it’s personalized. It doesn’t feel like a robot is talking to me, but a human.
Foundora. [Execution] All tech-related startups should check out this. They do a great job of organizing interesting articles for founders on product management, sales, negotiations & marketing.
CB Insights is a VC database that has tons of data about deals & trends. They do a tremendous amount of analysis on VC trends – as well as rigorous correlation work about funds. It’s a valuable website for entrepreneurs because it has all the latest data about finance that a founder could need.
