More than a directory!
Duuce's directory just got "slightly" better. And more useful :)
Hello and good… whatever time of the day it’s for you reading us now!
We are happy to welcome 52 new people to News’Letter Market since our last episode.
This week, I am writing to you from Morocco, where I am reminded that nature is beautiful. Life can be simple, and we should enjoy every moment we can.
Life is a gift. Make the most of it!
WOW, so very spiritual of us to start our NL.
I guess we were inspired by the sale of our latest newsletter about spirituality and astrology! ;)
Going through the streets, I was also reminded that selling red peppers in the market is not very different from selling Newsletters on Duuce, you need to connect, to bargain, exchange, keep calm and learn from each other.
Ok, now let’s walk through what is new in our marketplace.
Duuce’s New features and more
Spring Cleaning Results
So. Spring-cleaning happened (we pruned 250 subscribers) and the results are… OK!
We gained 5 points of Open rate on our last issue. Curious to see about today’s…
5 points is NO major change. But it’s a small step. Considering we cleaned a bit more than 15% of our database, we could have expected a bigger impact.
But well…. Transparency it is!
We’ll have to see if the trends continues and how long it would take until we see a decrease in open rate again. But we are satisfied for now. Every gain… is a gain! :)
Our new Directory feature is out!
It’s official, we just launched our new directory feature to make it the GO-TO place to attract new subscribers, promote your newsletter and monetize it! Maybe even find partners… ;-)
Sorry, let’s slow down a little.
So, what does it consist of exactly and why it is interesting for everyone?
First, you can now click on the posts in the directory to have more information on them before subscribing if you wish. More info means more value for newsletter operators listing theirs in our directory.
Second of all, and most importantly, when you register in our directory, you will have the opportunity to access 3 new “options”:
You can express your interest in finding people to cross-promote your newsletter
You can mark yourself as “open to selling ads” and have people reach out to you directly to inquire about pricing and scheduling.
And you can find partners who have the same interest to grow your newsletter!
What this update brings, is hopefully a chance to be able to grow your newsletter with cross-promotions, monetize it with sponsorship, and find partnerships.
Forget about having to use 10 platforms, our goal is to make it easy for you to find it all in the same place!
We will be sending an email to all the current directory members to have the possibility to update your profile and start connecting right away with the community.
Every feedback is welcome!
Our goal is for this directory to be one of a kind for our users.
Hope you like it!
Now for the newsletters for sale!
Twice a month, we gather for you a bunch of quality newsletters for sale on the market. Cause well… We DO know you mostly subscribed for that.

What are the news of this week ?
Every two weeks, we curate cool news and stuff we think could help you create and grow your newsletter from all over the place. (It also helps us)
Let’s see what’s up:
Starting with this great twitter thread from Dickie Bush which reminds us to stay down to earth, and humble.
We also have Jon Brosio operator of Creator Curve who is saving us 6 months of hustle thanks to his 9-step LinkedIn growth strategy.
Matt McGarry has curated 20 best media kit and sponsorship page examples that could definitely help you smooth the process when talking to potential clients on Duuce or other platforms.
And of course Substack launched Notes. And there is some bickering with Twitter (/Elon Musk). Here is an article to understand a little more in depth the meaning of it all. I am sure we will get more visibility and understanding of what it could mean for everyone in the next few weeks. I saw more and more of you publishing their first Note. Looking forward to seeing where this leads :)
PICK OF THE WEEK FROM OUR DIRECTORY.
We have a FREE directory where 450+ Newsletters registered to get more visibility (feel free to go register your Newsletter if you are interested as well).
And we would like to give a shout-out to one Newsletter per issue, one that stands out.
This week, we chose Market Loop, which is a free daily email delivering bite-sized business and finance news from the UK and beyond.
The best part? It only takes 3 minutes to read and is jargon-free, so you can get the most relevant updates and start the day smarter.
That’s it for us.
We'll see you in 2 weeks with some new updates
Until then, keep up the great work!
Cheers

How do I update my newsletter (Minimalist Hustler Daily)? I logged in and don't see it in my listings or directory (in my account settings), but I do see that it's listed in the directory.
