Hi. I'm looking for a list of 20 marketing and 20 design newsletters.
In "design", I include graphics, user interface and product design.

The goal is to find stuff like marketingsherpa.com. Real,
non-get-rich-quick, non-spam newsletters that deliver interesting
information to large and influential audiences.

The best answer will include circulation and editorial contact information.

Clarification of Question by sethgodin-ga on 03 Feb 2004 10:38 PST

In case it wasn't clear, I mean "online" newsletters. Thanks.

Dear Seth Godin,

Thanks for your question.  First, let me request that if any of the
following is unclear or if you require any further research ? please
don?t hesitate to ask me for a clarification.

I have enjoyed putting the following list together although it has
taken far more time than I had estimated...I can assure you that there
is no comparable list on the Web... (at least not the "known" Web...)

I assume that you are the same Seth Godin who writes marketing books;
even if you are not - :-) - I'd love to continue working with you on
your research needs.  If you are happy with the results of my work
here, please ask for me next time you have a need for research by
including "for ragingacademic" in the subject line of your question.

As for your request - you requested a list of 20 marketing and 20
design newsletters.  In "design? include graphics, user interface and
product design.  You noted that the best answer will include
circulation and editorial contact information.  Almost all of the
following include editorial contacts of one sort or another, however,
circulation data is not typically available.  It could probably be
found out by writing each of these newsletters with the intent of
advertising in their publications, but that would be a far more
extensive project.

Supergreat work. Fast, thorough, complete.

Happened to come across the following, looks like this reply will be
part of a new book - from Fast Company:

"Fast Company is working with contributing writer Seth Godin to create
a directory of people and organizations that can help you make a
Purple Cow.
Bull Market 2004 will be a compendium of companies that can help you
make things happen. It will highlight copywriters, brainstormers,
newsletters, graphic designers, namers, logo designers, printers,
jingle writers, and other people, teams, companies, and organizations
that can help you be remarkable."

Cool!

thanks mr. Godin for your theories. internet marketing owes you so
much. i'm a big big fan.

don't underestimate the get-rich-quick people. last year i have mapped
out the successful marketers that indeed make money off the internet
enterpreneurs market, and i have to tell you they are a very capable
lot. look up the alexa popularity rating of sites such as sitesell.com
and you will be amazed at what one-man operations can do. these are
people whose playground is the internet, i estimate the top 5 make
more than $10m annually from internet marketing - generally to the
internet marketers public, granted.

it seems to me very interesting to learn, for example, which
marketing-related information packages promoted via clickbank.com
contain true value. if you look up the sales leader in their b2b
category, for example (that's assuming they're not simply friends of
the owners, of course), superaffiliatehandbook.com, you will see their
sales letter (printed on my israeli-standard A4 pages *blush*) is 21
pages long!
[for a discussion of the philosophy of long sales letters i recommend
the book 'the ultimate sales letter' by one get-rich-quick kennedy]
and trust me: anywhere you put your finger on in those 21 pages you
will find good, hardworking copy. deconstructing such copy to me was a
treat, these guys are real pros. IMHO, these guys have done it, have
optimized it, and have gone to some island to get a rest a long, long
time ago.

your thoughts?
