Newsletter Bundles

What is a Newsletter Bundle?

Newsletter Bundles are a way to grow your free newsletter by collaborating with other independent journalists. Your audiences can sign up to all your newsletters at once, on a single page.

Each collaborator keeps their own newsletter and their own relationship with their audience. Trustfnd just makes it easy to grow together.

A few things to know:

• There's no cost to audiences. Newsletter Bundles are always free to subscribe to.

• Each collaborator adds their own publication. You choose which newsletter you'd like to include.

• A bundle can have up to 6 newsletters: yours, plus up to 5 collaborators.

• It works across platforms. Ghost, Beehiiv, Steady, or any other newsletter tool.

• You get one link to share, plus a widget for your Link in bio.

Why do a Newsletter Bundle?

Turning followers (you rent) into email subscribers (you own) is a massive challenge for every creator. Bundling gets your newsletter in front of many more people than promoting it on your own. You multiply your reach, and your list growth with it.

How do I create a Newsletter Bundle?

It takes about two minutes. You need one publication. Don't have one yet? Add a publication first.

1. Go to Growth, click Create new and select Newsletter Bundle.

2. On the page that opens, click the button to get started.

Step 1: Bundle Setup

1. Under Your publication, choose the publication you'd like to promote in this bundle.

2. Optionally, give the bundle a custom name (up to 33 characters). Leave it empty to use the default name. You can change it any time.

3. Click Save and invite collaborators.

Step 2: Invite collaborators

1. Enter Trustfnd handles (@username) or email addresses. Press Enter or Space after each one. You can invite up to 5 other creators.

2. Click Send invitation, or Skip for now if you'd rather invite people later.

That's it. There's no tier, no discount and no Stripe needed. If your account is verified, your bundle is live right away and shows up on your Growth page. If we're still verifying you, it's saved as a draft until then.

Next: share your collaboration.

How do sign-ups reach my email list?

That depends on where your newsletter lives.

Each collaborator only receives the people who signed up to their own newsletter. Audiences choose which newsletters in the bundle they'd like.

In Ghost and Beehiiv, new sign-ups also get labels, so you can tell where they came from. See the labels.

Can I be in more than one bundle at a time?

Yes. You can create or join as many collaborations as you like. Each one gets its own page, its own link and its own analytics.

We'd even encourage it. Partner often, partner with variety, and let your analytics tell you which bundles work.
