Yep, I direct people to http://lauchbit.com if they want to advertise.

I believe at one point he said he got a lot of subscribers from a cross-promotion with the Now I Know newsletter ( http://nowiknow.com/ ). I'm not sure if he has done this with other newsletters. For daily content, I recommend http://dailyhn.com/ . It provides a list of top daily stories with automatically-generated digests. The digests are of decent quality, but I just use it as a daily top ten list.
Cool. Thanks for sharing. I'm wrestling with the daily/weekly question myself as I'm starting to publish my own newsletter. My own instincts run counter to wanting to receive an e-mail blast daily no matter how relevant it is. But I'm not sure whether others feel the same. Think I'll ultimately experiment with both to see if I can find a sweet spot.
Hard to say: lots of great and popular newsletters use both the daily and weekly models. You could offer the choice on signup I suppose.

#44Just wanted to say thank you for the hacker newsletter! It's a huge time saver by being able to visit HN less often while shaking that feeling of missing out.
That said, I still have this compulsion of clicking open more links than I have time for. Any thoughts on a Hacker Newsletter Lite?

#45Hey Kale, why don't you put a Gittip[0] button in the newsletter? That could get you some funding so you can keep doing what you're doing. Pycoders Weekly[1] is currently doing this too.
