Week 7 - The AI Edge

Still building. Still free. Real numbers below.

Newsletter: 11 subscribers. Open rate jumped to 43.24%. Issue #006 went out today - Claude, Durable, and Riverside.fm.

LinkedIn: 99 followers. One post hit 300 impressions this week.

Reddit: First post on r/freelance stuck in moderation for 2 days. Moving to r/AIToolsAndTips next week.

Revenue: $0. Still in growth mode.

What worked: Beehiiv Recommendations activated this week. Partnered with 4 newsletters in the same niche. Expecting first cross-promo subscribers soon.

What didn’t: Reddit post moderation is unpredictable. Lost a week of potential traction.

Week 8 plan: Two Reddit posts instead of one. Push harder on LinkedIn CTA. Hit 25 subscribers to unlock Beehiiv cross-promotions properly.
