Dev to Agency hit 100 Subscribers!

I know it's not a huge number, and it did take a couple of months, but for me it's a big achievement.

Dev to Agency helps full-stack developers run their own successful software agencies, and the more readers I have the more I hope to help.

Having no experience in writing or newsletters - this means a lot to me, and I realised quite quickly there is no point in 'pumping out content' if no one is listening.

My biggest learnings form 0 - 100 subscribers:

• My readers prefer actionable over philosophical advice
• People respond surprisingly well to a "Why did you signup? email
• I suffer a lot of self-doubt when writing (but i'm getting better)
• Weekly, long-form articles are too much for me (at this stage)
• I have so much I want to say, I need to prioritise and plan
• Having a content schedule changes everything
• Building relationships (on Twitter) has helped a lot

I'm now branching out into interviews as well, as I realised I want to give my readers a holistic view of agency advice - and my voice is just one of many ways to do it. My first interview (with Matt Stauffer from Tighten) comes out shortly!
