6 Newsletter Website Examples Built with Ghost

By Ahmad Ajmi

A newsletter website needs to answer two questions before a visitor subscribes: what will arrive in their inbox, and is the writing worth returning for? The introduction explains the offer; the published articles let readers judge it for themselves.

These six publications from the customer showcase use Ubud and Penang. Their writing, subscription offers and customizations belong to each publisher.

The Subscription Offer

The subject alone may not explain the offer. Name the intended reader, what the newsletter helps them do, or the writer whose perspective they will follow.

USERWEEKLY

Liberating Narratives
