First 5 subscribers!
Proud! Got my first subscribers for my newsletter (6 actually, but 5 sound more like the milestone;).
• How? Shared it on a few Slack channels, Reddit and Twitter. Where the Slack community were the most effective (5 out of 6)
• Why? The subscribers felt that there was a lack of exposure to Humanity Cented products and services.
• Now what? Creating my next newsletter edition and see how my audience is responding.
Any ideas for my next growth tactic?
(See my newsletter here: https://humanitycentredstack.substack.com)
Congratulations! You should be proud. Putting something in front of people is not easy. Great to see you're getting results!
Thanks so much! Do you have some feedback from me at the moment? (also if you haven't opened my page yet, great! Then you give it some fresh pair of eyes;).
I hadn't seen the page so I just looked it over for a few minutes. I'm not a designer or artist, so don't weight my opinion too heavily. My first thought was that what I see when the page loads is disorganized. I can see the title five times but my eye doesn't immediately see an explanation of what the site is about. Maybe it's the fact that the biggest Humanity Centred Stack and its explaining paragraph are next to each other horizontally and I expected a title then an explanation to come after one another vertically?
Congrats!! This is a great start.
Promoting the hell out of your content works.
The tactic I would suggest is reposting the content of your newsletter on Twitter as a thread. At the end of the thread invite people to join your newsletter.
Then ask your audience (mailing list, network...) to go and retweet that thread. You can always add that Twitter thread at the end of your newsletter and invite people to support you this way.
Otherwise yeah find out where your audience hangs out and promote your content there. :)
Do it in a value-first, non-spammy way. And be patient!
Good luck to you!
Thanks! I am going to work on that, great tip!
So are you saying to promote seperate content pieces as thread - in a narrative?
I think you should check out Harry Dry from Marketing Examples he does that really well (Twitter thread + asking for retweet): https://twitter.com/GoodMarketingHQ
