A bonus for the best SEO newsletters list: Morning Brew
Morning Brew is a daily email that isn’t SEO focused but gives you a quick and entertaining rundown on the big business stories of the morning.
It’s so well-written I have to include it, and it’s great for SEO pros who want to keep up on the big business stories without wasting a lot of time reading or watching news.
(Note: This is my Morning Brew referral link. I might, someday in a bright and distant future, earn stickers or a coffee mug or if you subscribe.)
