Somehow, I've become interested in various fields like IT, tech, stocks, real estate, and marketing. While some of these interests were somewhat forced upon me, I've come to view them as essential for life and have been keeping a close eye on them. For instance, I used to know nothing about stocks, but now I have a brokerage account, though it's still showing a loss. And I'm keeping an eye out for stocks with growth potential.
Similarly, I've developed an interest in real estate and marketing. In the case of marketing, I had to gain industry knowledge because I joined a company that sells marketing solutions. While browsing various websites, I came across a site that offered a newsletter, and I immediately subscribed. I still read it regularly and find it very informative.
Today, I'd like to introduce the newsletters I'm currently subscribed to. You might feel like your inbox is overflowing with spam, but they can be incredibly useful. I hardly ever read the news anyway, so having it neatly summarized and delivered to my inbox every morning is incredibly convenient. They even explain unfamiliar real estate terms, saving me the time I'd spend searching online. Newsletters are truly a valuable resource.
Ilbuntok - Tech News Newsletter (https://ilbuntok.com/)
With the recent proliferation of AI, Nvidia has reached record highs. Apple has launched Vision Pro, and Tesla is continuing its Mars project. This newsletter not only covers major news like these but also provides a summary of various happenings in the tech industry.
While I could potentially gain insights into tech stocks from this newsletter, I primarily use it for reference. I'm currently working in the IT industry and plan to continue my career in this field, so I'm trying to absorb as much industry information as possible. It's important to pay close attention to technologies like cloud computing and AI that are gaining traction and will shape the future. By observing what companies are communicating, which ones are seeing revenue and stock growth, etc., I can adjust my target companies and gain insights into which technologies to prioritize.
If you're curious about the latest developments at leading tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Tesla, Apple, and Meta, I highly recommend subscribing to this newsletter.
Dubuletter - Real Estate News Newsletter (https://www.homedubu.com/)
Since I'm married, I desperately need a place to live long-term. My wife and I consistently contribute to our housing lottery account, but securing a unit is incredibly difficult. In this situation, what choices should I make? What is LTV, and what exactly is DSR? I used to grapple with these questions. However, through Dubuletter, I've been able to gain a wealth of knowledge about real estate terminology and the current market conditions.
It doesn't provide insider information like which specific areas are about to be developed. It's not that kind of newsletter. Instead, it shares information about government announcements, real estate issues in specific regions, unsold units, etc. You could consider it a newsletter that delivers unbiased information about the real estate market.
It explains housing lottery processes, terminology, policies, and more in a way that's easy to understand, even for complete real estate beginners. I highly recommend it for those new to real estate.
Newneek - General News Newsletter (https://www.newneek.co/)
In today's world, many working professionals miss out on the news due to various factors like YouTube, OTT, and overtime work. To be honest, watching news can be quite boring. When you're already busy trying to make ends meet and find time for leisure, who has time for news? You might think it's something only older people watch, but young people should stay informed too. If you lack the time to keep up with current events, Newneek can help you overcome this challenge.
Newneek selects a few trending news items from the previous day or recent period and delivers them to your inbox in the morning. It provides a well-organized summary of each issue, explaining what happened, the content of the news, and the reasons behind any conflicts. It's delivered daily (except weekends), helping you stay informed about current events.
If you feel like you need to stay informed about the news but also want to enjoy your free time and relax, Newneek is a decent option, though not a perfect solution. I still encourage you to stay aware of what's happening in the world.
Marketing Thinking - Marketing Industry News Newsletter (https://page.stibee.com/subscriptions/51974)
Marketing Thinking is a newsletter sent by OpenAds, a platform that provides content for marketers. It's a popular resource among marketers and offers a wealth of marketing-related information. OpenAds curates valuable content and selects five insightful articles for each newsletter, delivering them to its readers.
Gimyohang (기묘한), a well-known writer of insightful marketing articles, also contributes to OpenAds. Through OpenAds, you can access Gimyohang's articles. Additionally, various marketing agencies, including Daekhaknaeil (대학내일) and WiPick, also post content there. Insider, the company I work for, previously published content on OpenAds as well.
If you have a keen interest in marketing and want to gain valuable industry insights, I highly recommend subscribing to this newsletter.
Caret - Latest Trend Newsletter (https://www.careet.net/Subscribe)
Although I'm part of the MZ generation, I find it challenging to understand the mindset of other MZ individuals, especially when it comes to the culture of today's teenagers. Trends and slang change so quickly that what you learn today might be outdated tomorrow. It's the same for all of us, and you'll likely find it difficult to keep up with what your younger peers are into. What slang are they using? What type of content are they consuming? Caret can help you stay somewhat informed about these trends.
Caret is a service run by Daekhaknaeil (대학내일), a popular platform among college students. Since their target audience is college students, they're naturally highly sensitive to trends, providing you with truly up-to-date information. I learned about the 'Slick Back Challenge' and 'Matkkulma' (맛꿀마, a slang term created by Lee Yong-ju of 'Psik Daehak' meaning delicious in a Busan dialect) through Caret. It can be overwhelming at times, but it's also entertaining.
If you're already struggling to keep up with the news and also find it hard to follow MZ trends, Caret is a good option. It's especially useful if you're targeting the MZ generation in your work.
In a way, these newsletters are things I could keep to myself. However, since we all need to thrive, I wanted to share the newsletters I use, hoping to contribute to a culture of information sharing. I've included links to subscribe to each newsletter. Please rest assured that this post is not an advertisement. In fact, I wish I could get paid to promote these newsletters. It would be great if you could share the newsletters you subscribe to as well.
