I have been using Convert Kit for the past 5 years to create my weekly newsletters so I can stay in touch with my readers. Convert Kit is a marketing automation tool that makes it easy to manage email lists, segment subscribers (so they only receive content specific to the topics they enjoy reading) and create beautiful newsletters. It’s free to use for the first 300 subscribers and the pricing after that is also very reasonable.
