Why Buttondown is the best newsletter platform for artists

Buttondown's the easiest way to keep people up-to-date on your work, whether you're a musician, writer, or artist. It's simple to get started, and you can send as many emails as you want without worrying about a pesky algorithm getting in the way.

We probably don't need to convince you why you should have a newsletter (you're already here, aren't you?) — but with so many options to choose, how do you make sure the one you pick is the right one?

Tons of great artists are using Buttondown to stay connected with their audience and focus on the important stuff (aka writing), like:

• Charlie Jane Anders, winner of the Lambda Literary Award
• Jack Cheng, author of See You in the Cosmos and winner of the Golden Kite
• Tom Vek, indie musician and producer

Why did they choose Buttondown? Lots of reasons:

1. A price that scales with your audience and won't break the bank, unlike pricier platforms like Mailchimp
2. A simple, intuitive interface that doesn't require a degree in computer science (or three hours of free time) to use
3. A focus on privacy and security, so you can rest easy knowing your — and your fans' — data is safe
4. A commitment to you, rather than venture capitalists or advertisers who might want to insert ads in your emails or push your subscribers to join a bunch of other newsletters too
