Hi everybody!
I've heard mixed opinions about cross promotion. Some people have had success and others have said that it was impossible to find a good match for cross promo. What's been everyone's experience with cross promotion?
The reason I ask is that I have this hypothesis that if it was easier to find good matches for cross promotion, it'd be easier and faster to grow your subscribers. That's why I'm starting a cross promotion marketplace call CrowdMagnet (https://www.getcrowdmagnet.com) I'm hoping if enough people join a marketplace then it'd make it so much easier for smaller newsletters to grow with each other and grow quickly. Would love any feedback.
Yes!
Personally I think this is brilliant. I even asked on Hacker News a few hours ago if something like this existed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24908082
Ive been looking for someone to cross promote my first newsletter with (https://rephrased.substack.com).
What I am looking for is other Javascript/programming/tech newsletters. So a place to discover cross promotion leads would be so helpful.
My current approach is to ask on IH https://www.indiehackers.com/post/anyone-up-for-doing-some-newsletter-cross-promotion-cc08be0a71. No takers yet
Thanks James! I've seen other people create cross promotion thread on IH. Hopefully we can create a better a way to help creators cross promote and grow!
If you turn that magnet to the right, it can be the letter C for Crowd.
Good concept. Personally, if I were to join I'd like a little info in regard to the inner workings or the process on your landing page before I sign up.
Thanks for the feedback @Scott322
Do you mean like more explanation on how the product works and looks?
Sorry I just re-read my comment and realized it was not clear.
Just my 2 cents worth. Obviously your site will create a benefit for anyone with a newsletter. So let's say I have a site with a newsletter. I want to cross-promote, because why not. I want to be more clear on how I will have this done once I enter your platform.
My first question is: will i find it myself or do you hook us up? is there a way for us to compare readerships? how much am I going to pay you for this service you provide? What am I guaranteed if i need to pay? Is it free?
I would just want a listical of the process involved. If it's unclear I will not likely waste my time. If I can cleary see that this will benefit me, free or paid, I will take the time to look more closely at it.
Got it. I see what you mean. Yeah I can be more clear about the specifics. I'll think about updating the landing page.
Also, just to answer the actual questions you posed. It will be a place where you find your own matches and you can use things like subscriber count, subscriber overlap and subject matter to filter your search. And yes it will be free! :)
